Who has a good handle on the playoff scenarios?

If by chance the 49ers loose to the Cardinals & the Seahawks win then the hawks win the west & the 49ers are the 5th seed

If I understand correctly, in that scenario, if the Vikes beat the Pack, we would send Seattle to the 2nd seed. I'm enjoying watching these Seahawks: tough as nails running back (my #1 fantasy guy), plucky rookie QB that no one thought could do what he's doing, and I've always like Sidney Rice. And that defense is scary good. I think they would beat the Packers easily in a rematch.

I'd love to see the Vikes beat the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game! But if the Vikes aren't destined this year, the Seahawks are my team.

I wouldn't fancy playing red hot Seahawks in seattle. besides us winning, I'm pulling hard for the 49ers to win so we would play GB in lambeau.

If we lose is there anyway we can still make the playoffs?

See Option 2, quoted from about three posts up.

One more, from what I've read:

(3) The Vikings tie and the Bears lose or tie.

Imagine this scenario: The Bears lose the early game and the Vikings and Packers go into OT with a tie. The Vikings could play for a tie to win the final playoff spot.

If the Packers win and the Vikings get into the playoffs they would travel to play the Niners ot Seahawks, whoever wins the division.
