After the Seattle Seahawks (12-3) won a 38-37 OT thriller against the Los Angeles Rams, the San Francisco 49ers (10-4) find themselves 1.5 games back of leading both the NFC West and NFC as a whole.

The Seahawks have only two games left, while the 49ers have three (including week 18 against the Seahawks). If San Francisco has any chance to make significant movements up the conference seeding chart, it would require Seattle dropping at least one of their final two games, and the 49ers winning out. 

If that happens, both teams will finish with a 13-4 record. The tiebreaker will then go to San Francisco, due to them having swept the two-game season series against Seattle in the aforementioned "winning out" scenario. 

That means, the 49ers have a chance to win their division, as well as make sure the path to the Super Bowl runs through Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California (It's also worth noting that the Los Angeles Rams wouldn't factor in this equation, due to them losing to both the Seahawks and 49ers earlier in the season). 

Funny enough, that's where the Super Bowl will be hosted this year (the last time a team played at home in the Super Bowl was 2022's Los Angeles Rams vs. Cincinnati Bengals matchup back in 2022, where the Rams were the home team).

Do you think the 49ers can run the table and take control of the NFC? Let us know in the comment section below.
