if we can win out, which the only real challenge will be the ravens, they'll get a bye week. Then we will play 2 games (assuming we win both), and get another bye week. That would be HUGE for our guys health.

i don't see them losing focus rn.

I hope we lock up the #1 seed before the Rams game.

9ers win the NFC West with a win. That alone should keep them from not playing poorly.

Gonna take a miracle win by NYG to pull that one off!!

Yeah, unfortunately locking it up early isn't in our control. Just holding onto it.

ideally I'd like to see seattle win this weekend against Philly & the bills beat Dallas (both I think are very possible).

that'll give us one game of space and I think that'll all but guarantee it. That means either we can still get it if we lose to baltimore (I don't think we do) or we lock it up heading into the final week.

Wont require that. Just a win by Seattle.

That would be solid to have a 1.5 game cushion over both Philly and Dallas. That would take so much pressure off the team. IMO

Yes, THIS feels like a legit trap game.

Every game left is a tarp game

Especially if it rains. But Arizona is indoor, so I think we are good there.

So, the Niners have had FOUR games vs teams coming off byes. That seems ridiculous to me.

AZ is our conference headache. There have been a few head scratcher losses to them. It's just the division thing. West all have a team that seems to rub us. AZ might be that team to 49ers at times. Just keep it moving forward.
