Maybe. The #2 seed is still 100% in play though. Minnesota finishes with Indy, NYG, GB and Chi. I don't know for a fact, but I believe if we tie them, we get the tiebreaker due to conference and division records.
We do get the 2 seed with a tie, I want that 2 seed bad. The less travel the better and 1 Eagles f**k up from hosting the title game
I do think the Eagles will f**k it up in the Divisonal round if they had to go to play Dallas, Minn, or even TB. It would be great to secure the number two seed it guarantees us an easy first round game vs Wash NY Sea followed by a home game vs Minn Dal TB.
I think the best case scenario for the 49ers involves having the Cowboys and Eagles play each other so one of them knocks the other out. I also think the Cowboys are the only other team in the NFC other than the 49ers that can beat the Eagles. I think the ideal scenario is to get the #2 seed and then host WAS/NYG/SEA/DET in the 1st round and then host Minnesota in the Divisional round. Minnesota as the #3 seed would have to beat whoever they face at #6 which I would think they could. Then onto Philadelphia OR hosting the Cowboys, the latter being clearly preferred.
