Not many choices.

If Carolina beats Atlanta, I think they go with Carolina/Tampa.

However, there is a scenario where Minnesota/Green Bay is important.

Seattle/Arizona could potentially have impact.

Other than that, it's slim pickings.

If they're 15-0, you go with them

Looks like they'll have to go with Minnesota vs GB.

Not sure why this Vikes vs Giants game is on tonight

They've already made it the Vikes game


They have to flex a week early and at the time the Vikes were in first. I think Fox got to protect the Packers Cards due to having double header.

This game mattered before last night's Redskins win

Seattle is the 5 no matter what I think. I didn't think division opponents couldn't play until 2nd weekend.

Nope.

Seattle is very likely the 6. They won't beat Arizona next week.

That has never been a rule in the current playoff format.

Yes it has. You could not play a division opponent in first round.

Not since the playoffs went to 12 teams.

Teams from the same division have been playing in the wildcard round for at least 20 years.

Maybe you're thinking baseball, where that rule has recently changed.

The Steelers and Ravens played in the first round last year.

The Packers and Vikings probably will this year too

Minnesota will basically have two chances to beat the Packers in Green Bay.

Seattle plays at 4:25 PM EST. If they lose, then they are the six. If they win and Minnesota wins, then they are the six. If they win and Green Bay wins, then they are the five.

Possible NFC seeds:

Carolina 1,2
Arizona 1,2
Green Bay 3,5
Washington 4
Minnesota 3,5,6
Seattle 5,6
