You've heard of win-or-go-home games. This one is a win-and-stay-home contest.
The NFC West has been the best division in the NFL this season and offers us one more marquee matchup in prime time on Saturday night. Division leader and current No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, the Seattle Seahawks, head south for their regular-season finale against the San Francisco 49ers.
Both teams have a playoff spot locked up. The 13-3 Seahawks have the upper hand over the 12-4 49ers entering this contest, but the results could change how the NFC stacks up entering the postseason.
With a win, San Francisco vaults from the No. 5 seed up to the No. 1 seed. They'd be equal with Seattle on overall win-loss record at 13-4 but would get the tiebreaker from two head-to-head wins.
That would earn the 49ers a first-round bye and a chance to play at home for the entire postseason because Super Bowl 60 will be held at their home, Levi's Stadium.
