IF THE SEAHAWKS WIN THE NFC WEST.....
Who the hell would they play at Qwest Field on Wild Card Weekend (either Saturday, January 8 or Sunday, January 9)?
The winner of the NFC North will be decided Friday on Christmas Eve when the Packers travel to Minnesota to play the Vikings. Brett Favre is 3-9 all-time in the Metrodome. But he did win last year, so don't automatically assume that his suckass factor in domes will come into play again.
So here we go. Hold on, it's a bumpy ride:
IF Seattle AND Minnesota finish 9-7 (both division champs), the Seahawks would earn the #3 seed. This is the only scenario where this would be possible. Seahawks own the tiebreaker over the Vikings (Dec. 12 Seahawks 27-23)
#6 NFC Wild Card (probably Carolina) at #3 Seattle (NFC West champs)
#5 Green Bay (Wild Card) at #4 Minnesota (NFC North champs)
IF Seattle AND Green Bay finish 9-7 (both division champs), the Seahawks would earn the #4 seed. Green Bay owns the tiebreaker over Seattle (common opponents).
#5 Minnesota (Wild Card) at #4 Seattle (NFC West champs)
#6 NFC Wild Card (probably Carolina) at #3 Green Bay (NFC North champs)
IF Minnesota wins the NFC North AND finishes ONE GAME AHEAD of Seattle, the Seahawks would earn the #4 seed.
#5 Green Bay (Wild Card) at #4 Seattle (NFC West champs)
#6 NFC Wild Card (probably Carolina) at #3 Minnesota (NFC North champs)
IF Green Bay wins the NFC North AND finishes ONE GAME AHEAD of Seattle, the Seahawks would earn the #4 seed.
#5 Minnesota (Wild Card) at #4 Seattle (NFC West champs)
#6 NFC Wild Card (probably Carolina) at #3 Green Bay (NFC North champs)

There are just the scenarios IF the Seahawks win the NFC West.
I don't want to think about any scenarios with the Seahawks as a wild card team.
Believe.
