If both Green Bay and Seattle keep winning, it doesn't matter what New Orleans or San Francisco do. Seattle will be #1, Green Bay will be #2, New Orleans will be #3, Dallas will be #4, San Francisco will be #5 and Minnesota will be #6.
But Seattle can't claim the #1 seed without help. Seattle lost to New Orleans so Seattle not only has to win, they need New Orleans to lose. Similar with Green Bay. Green Bay lost to San Francisco so Green Bay not only has to win, they need San Francisco to lose. And New Orleans lost to San Francisco so New Orleans not only has to win, they need San Francisco to lose. San Francisco is the only team that doesn't need help and can claim the #1 seed by winning their final 2 games.
I think that is wrong. If all 4 --- Seattle, Green Bay, New Orleans and San Francisco --- end up tied, the tie breaker for a 3 or 4 way tie, is different than the tie breaker for a 2 way tie.
Seattle gets the #1 spot with a 3 or 4 way tie --- Seattle has the better conference record.
