We need to finish no lower than #2.

If all of the higher seeded teams win, after the bye, #1 would be at home against #4. #2 (lions) would be at home against #3. If we finish #3, we play a road game.

Playoffs are strange. Lots can happen.

7 seeds are 0-6 all time against 2 seeds. Small sample size, but in the “any given sunday” league I think it’s worth noting.

6

yes, but let’s not forget the 1980 Oakland Raiders and Jim Plunkett!

Why would we chase the #2 seed? It’s no better than the 3 seed.
We’re playing for the #1 seed, now.

2nd seed sure to be playing at home in 2nd round.

3rd seed more likely to be playing on the road in 2nd round.

Detroit, 2 losses at home, 2 on the road.
It’s about the bye.

The Lions win out and they are at least the #2 seed. The Lions lose one or both of the last 2 games and at worst they are the #3 seed. If the Niners lose 1 game of their last 2 and the Lions win out they get the #1 seed. That is all I need to know.

The Lions win this game and come home to raise the NFC North Division Champs banner against the team that they won it against to finish the season. Then the chips will fall where they fall.

Definitely not an easy task. And its a long shot.
It all starts and ends with Saturday tho.

Don’t want the #1 seed. It increases the pressure and our chances of coming out slow. It also increases the chances of not getting at least one playoff win. If we are #2 there is still a good chance of hosting the nfc championship.

Thats been my worry too.
And it would be VS Dallas most likely.

It wont be an easy road regardless.

But if lions get the 2nd seed. I want SF to get the 1st seed.

Rather play in SF in late January vs PHi or DAL.

Imho we have already experienced trying to learn to win as a winner…. We struggled at it and then boom!!

We will be fine now with that experience and our coach to guide us…

I would love to get the 2nd or first seed…. Period!

But i still like our chances against Dallas at Ford Field.
If we are the number one seed., we’d need to win two games, both at FF, most probably against Dallas and SF.

If we are the number two seed, we play someone like Seattle, LA or GB at FF, and I would hate to lose to one of them. After that, we’d play the highest remaining seed - maybe Philly at FF. But for the NFC championship game, we’d still have to travel to the one seed if all goes as planned, probably in SF.

All in all, I’ll take the one seed over the two, any day!

Yep! But back to step one of this happening; beating Dallas at their place this weekend!!

Huge game!
Right now, according to the NYT, chance of the two seed is 16%.
Beat Dallas - chance for the two seed becomes 60%.
Lose to Dallas - chance for the two seed becomes 1%.

Right now, chance for the 1 seed is 4%.
Beat Dallas - chance becomes 16%.
Lose to Dallas - no chance for the 1 seed.

And we should know by now, beat Dallas and Minny - chance for the 2 seed - 100%!
