No. 1: San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers, who host the Rams on Sunday, already clinched the No. 1 seed and the first-round bye that comes along with it.

No. 2: Dallas Cowboys

The Cowboys can (and will) secure the No. 2 seed and the NFC East title with a win over the Commanders, whom they throttled by 35 points on Thanksgiving.

No. 3: Detroit Lions

The Lions, who finish with a home game against the Vikings, can only climb into the No. 2 seed with losses by both the Cowboys and Eagles, and that's not happening.

No. 4: Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The NFC South and No. 4 seed will belong to the Buccaneers as soon as they take care of the two-win Panthers on Sunday.

No. 5: Philadelphia Eagles

Due to their inexplicable loss to the Cardinals last week, the Eagles, who play at the Giants Sunday, now need both a win and a Cowboys loss to win their division and climb to No. 2.

No. 6: Los Angeles Rams

The Rams, who, like the 49ers, plan to sit plenty of regulars Sunday—having already clinched a berth—can claim this seed with either a win (more likely) or a Packers loss to the Bears (less likely).

No. 7: Green Bay Packers

The Packers won't have an easy time with a Bears team that has won four of its last five, but Jordan Love and Co. will find a way to make it happen.
