2. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS: There may not be a hotter team in the NFL. The Niners have won six games in a row, and for a while, it seemed like they didn’t need to roster their punter. They have a massive matchup this week against the Seahawks, who have also won six in a row. If they prevail, they will secure the No.1 seed and a bye. They will also secure homefield advantage throughout the playoffs…including the Super Bowl, which is at Levi Stadium this year.
1. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS: It all comes down to this Saturday’s matchup against the 49ers in Santa Clara. The Seahawks and Niners have each won six in a row, but the Seahawks have scored more points this year and have given up fewer points. They are 13-3, while San Francisco is 12-4. But, if they lose, the Niners would hold the tiebreaker, at 13-4. The winner of this game gets the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye. The loser heads to the road on Wildcard weekend.
