We can't fall lower than #3
#1 seed: We win out, GB loses one, Seattle wins out
#2 seed: we win out, GB loses one

Both are pretty realistic, I think the packers can lose to the Vikings and maybe the bears.

Seahawks play the panthers and cardinals before the niners, don’t see how they lose any of those. And they’re certainly capable of beating the niners at home for the division.

Can you explain the 3 team tiebreaker and how we'd get #1 here?

Saints would have beaten Seattle, 49ers beaten Saints, and Seattle beaten 49ers twice...I'm already confused.

Well if GB loses one more there will be no 3 team tie breaker. They will be 12-4. Saints Seahawks and 49ers would all be 13-3. Seattle would win the division over SF bc of the head to head wins. Which would put SF at number 5 and we would be number one over the Seahawks bc we own the tiebreaker from beating them, putting them at #2

Only one NFC West team can be a top 4 seed, so either the Seahawks or 49ers will be a wild card.

My thoughts exactly.

The other odd thing about our remaining schedule, if we drop one, then we can neither improve nor make worse our seeding. So imagine, we lose to the Colt's Monday night, we can basically sit starters for two weeks heading into the playoffs.

Not true. If OP plays out and we only lost to Colts we would be 2 seed.

The Titans are playing well, but we get them between their 2 Houston games. So that will help

Division tiebreaker are settled first to determine which team is division champ and which one is the wild card. Ties are then broken to determine seeds 1-4 among division winners.
