The NFC playoff picture is looking a little clearer as far as who will make it, but it’s muddled as far as positioning goes.
Here’s where the NFC stands after Week 10.
First-Round Byes
49ers, 8-1
Packers, 7-2
The 49ers took a hit on Monday Night Football, losing to their division rivals. San Francisco is now only a game up for first place in the division.
The Packers hung on against the Panthers and managed to move up in the standings thanks to the Falcons stunning the Saints.
Wild Card Round
No. 6 Vikings (7-3) at No. 3 Saints (7-2)
No. 5 Seahawks (8-2) at No. 4 Cowboys (5-4)
The Vikings and Seahawks both had huge statement wins over the Cowboys and 49ers, respectively.
It should be fun when the two teams face off in Week 12 in Seattle.
Holding On . . .
Rams, 5-4
Eagles, 5-4
Panthers, 5-4
Bears, 4-5
The Eagles suddenly find themselves back in conversation in the NFC East, while the Rams and Bears play in Week 11. The loser of that game will have a pretty tough time making it back to the playoffs considering this group is already 2.5 games back.
