Seattle will host the Rams or the 49ers next weekend

Our Summary

The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for a divisional round matchup against either the San Francisco 49ers or the Los Angeles Rams, as determined by the outcome of the 49ers' game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Seattle finished the regular season with a 14-3 record and had a split 2-2 record against the Rams and 49ers. In their previous encounters this season, Seattle lost to San Francisco at home in Week 1 and won against the Rams in an overtime game in Week 16. If the 49ers win in Philadelphia, they will face the Seahawks; if the Eagles win, Seattle will host the Rams. This scenario means Seattle could potentially face both division rivals in consecutive playoff games, despite securing the NFC's No. 1 seed.
