If the San Francisco 49ers pull off an upset over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, as the lowest-seeded remaining team, head coach Kyle Shanahan's squad would travel to Seattle to face the NFC's No. 1 seed Seahawks.
In that scenario, the Rams would visit the Bears in Chicago next weekend.
If the Eagles defeat the 49ers, Philadelphia would advance to Chicago to take on the Bears, while the Rams would head to Seattle to face the Seahawks.
Either way, the NFC Divisional Playoff round is guaranteed to feature a matchup between two NFC West teams, adding another layer of intrigue to the postseason picture.
The Eagles enter Sunday's game as six-point favorites over the 49ers. Meanwhile, both the Rams and Bears will be watching closely, waiting to see which opponent they will need to prepare for next.
