If we win out, then the rams have to either lose to one NFC West opponent or drop at least two games total. If the niners and rams have both the same record and same record in the division, the rams win the tie breaker due to common games played and won.

Well SoFi is Levi South anyway. Already won there this year with Mac Jones

If the Rams losing to the Lions does us no good we should Root for them to beat the Lions because that would put us up 2 games on the Lions in the Wild Card. Then we could root for the Seahawks to beat the Rams

Conference record

Right?

We have the same division record as them and the better conference record

To determine a division winner it goes overall record, head to head, better division record, better record in common games and then conference record. If the rams lose to detroit, we have same record, same head to head, same division record but then they win better record in common games.

Pretty much. Not only would it do us 'no good' but it could be bad for us if that was their only loss and/or we don't win out. We are competing with the Lions directly for a WC spot.

If the Rams lose to both the Lions and Seattle, it gives us the flexibility to still lose one more game either at Indy or home Chicago and still win the division, as long as Seattle loses at Carolina in Week 17.

But we are the 6th seed right now?

There's four weeks left. There's a variety of things that could happen all the way from us being the 1 seed to missing the playoffs completely.

If I had to make a prediction, I think we'll make the playoffs as a WC with either the 6th or 7th seed.

Right now they're the 5th. I think they'll probably finish 1st or 5th.

Anything is possible but I don't see us losing to Indy against their backup qb

For my above results, I also should have mentioned we can either lose away at Indy or at home to Chicago. And Seattle can either lose at home to Indy or away to Carolina.

49ers can still take their 5th seed if they lose to the Rams and of course the last game of the season to the 9ers!!!
