If the Niners win every remaining game vs the West we are at worst the 2 seed, I like our chances.

It seems that if we are indeed a #3 seed, the road to the superbowl HAS to go to #2. Unless there's some unexpected falloff it will be NO....but right now it is possible that the closest alternative is ATL, and would take a miracle for that team to be DAL OR NYG.
What's interesting is if you wanted to concoct a scheme to skip NO and go straight to GB, you'd need to drop to a 4th seed (lowest allowed).
Assuming #3 beats #6, #4 has to play #1.
Hypothetical:
1. GB
2. NO
3. DAL
4. SF
5. ATL
6. NYG
Of course if you pull off the upset, the road to the bowl still go through #2 or #3, but at that point you probably have the confidence to beat one of the 49er superbowl teams. ;)
It's not a super viable strategy, and you can't even force it even by losing out but interesting to think about. If god forbid we drop the next two and ATL and DAL win the next two, then an intentional loss to the Rams could be considered.
In reality, the last two Steeler superbowls featured unexpected 6th seeds....first the Steelers themselves, then the Cardinals. The Cards weren't given a chance even in the NFC Champ game!
BTW, I'm not being a Debbie Downer here.....don't wish this morbid mentality on the team, but it's more for those "gotta get #2 or we're out" mentality.
In all honesty, the biggest problem with losing to the Saints is not being a good enough team. Merely being at the stick is no guarantee of success....I'd rather go THERE with the RIGHT team than host with a questionable team.
Man, gotta bring back that road arrogance.....what I miss the most from the end of the Montana era.

I keep hearing people say that. The "I don't want to go to NO" argument.
While that IS true, I'm also concerned with the fact that Niners would have to beat someone FIRST before they even get the CHANCE to play NO.
More than just homefield, I want the Niners to get the free pass to round 2 and rest the players.

The Niners have to win this week. Nobody can beat the Saints in NO. The Packers are the only team that could even stay in the stadium with them and I think they would have a hard time keeping up. Win or lose I dont want to see the Niners go out on a beat down in NO!

I'd cream my pants if it were a Niners vs Ravens Superbowl. To be honest I enjoy watching the Ravens play and would say they're my 2nd favorite team. It'd probably go down as one of the greatest superbowls ever.
