In this week's column, there's . But after writing the piece, I got a bunch of questions on Twitter ( ) relating to the NFC seeding po sibilities.All six of the NFC teams are locked into the playoffs, but there are still plenty of changes that can occur with the seeding.Panthers fans want to know what opponent theyre likely to get, Seahawks fans want to know who theyll be playing depending on Sunday, etc. So lets take a team-by-team look below at how the NFC could end up shaking out.For purposes of playoff Malcolm Miller Jersey matchups, remember the bracket resets after the first round with the lowest seed playing the top seed. So say hypothetically the Seahawks are the No. 5 seed and beat the Redskins in the first round while the Packers as a No. 3 seed beat the No. 6 seed Vikings. The Panthers would host the Seahawks, while the Cardinals host the Packers. In order of current seeding: No. 1 overall. Win on Sunday against the at home. Carolina dispatched the Bucs in Tampa 37-23 back in Week 4. Prior outcomes dont tell us anything about future results (see: Carolinas lo s to the ) but with home field advantage at stake, the Panthers are a good bet to win against a Tampa team only playing for pride. : No. 2 seed. : If the Panthers lose to Tampa and the Cardinals beat the Seahawks, Arizona will hold a tiebreaker over Carolina with a better record in conference games (11-1 versus 10-2). : No. 2 overall : Arizona is a full three games clear of the Packers and Vikings, so win or lose against Seattle on Sunday theyre holding a first-round bye after beating Green Bay handily on Sunday. : No. 1 seed : The Cardinals beat the Seahawks and the Panthers lose to the Buccaneers, causing Carolina and Arizona to flip spots. Talk about a disappointing end to the Panthers season and a critical home-field advantage for the Cardinals. : No. 3 overall : Beat the Vikings at Lambeau Field on Sunday evening, . The matchup between the Packers and Vikings is for the NFC North title and the No. 3 seed. : No. 5 seed : Losing to the Vikings Jalen Harris Jersey on Sunday (the Packers are only 3-point favorites after getting throttled by the Cardinals this week) would lock the Packers in as the No. 5 seed regardle s of what the Seahawks do because Green Bay holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over Seattle. : No. 4 seed : The Redskins are actually already locked! Their 8-7 record is by far the worst of any division winner but they cant fall lower than No. 4 while winning their division due to NFL rules. : No. 5 seed : No one has as much variance as the Vikings do on the playoffs on the NFC side. If the expected outcomes occur and the Vikings lose to the Packers while the Cardinals beat the Seahawks, Minnesotas 10-6 record would give them the No. 5 spot and a road trip to Washington for a playoff game. : No. 3 seed, No. 6 seed : The Vikings would lock down the No. 3 seed and an NFC North division title with a win in Lambeau on Sunday night. If they lose to the Packers and the Seahawks beat the Cardinals, Seattle would be the No. 5 seed (head-to-head tiebreaker over the Vikings) and Minnesota would drop to No. 6 with an immediate rematch against the Packers. : No. 6 seed : If the Seahawks lose to the Cardinals who will be playing their starters in an attempt to get home field advantage and because Bruce Arians rolls like that theyll be 9-7 and firmly locked into the No Yuta Watanabe Jersey . 6 seed. If the Seahawks beat the Cardinals and the Vikings beat the Packers, they also end up as No. 5 because Green Bay owns the tiebreaker over Seattle. : No. 5 seed : The Seahawks beat the Cardinals and the Packers beat the Vikings, giving Seattle the tiebreaker over the Vikings and the No. 5 spot. *****So, armed with all that knowledge, what should you be rooting for as a fan heading into Week 17? Depends on what team you cheer for and who you would rather play. For the purposes of this discu sion, I think the Seahawks are the scariest of the four teams involved in the wild-card games (despite their egg against the Sunday), followed by the Packers, Vikings and Redskins.Yes, Green Bay just got walloped by Arizona. Yes they have protection problems. Yes they have receiver i sues. Yes their defense can be vulnerable. But they also have .Panthers fans should root for A Carolina win over the Buccaneers to secure first place and home field advantage throughout. Despite the Panthers matching up well against the Seahawks (and beating Norman Powell Jersey them earlier this year), theyd probably prefer to avoid Seattle if po sible. The best chance of that? Green Bay and Arizona winning Sunday, making Seattle the No. 6 seed going to Green Bay (where they lost earlier this year) and Minnesota the 5 at Washington. Hope Green Bay can beat Seattle and you get the Vikings or Redskins. Cardinals fans should root for The Panthers to lose and the Cardinals to win, giving Arizona the No. 1 seed. Beating Seattle and getting the No. 2 seed isnt a bad consolation prize, however. Regardle s of what happens in the Vikings-Packers game, Seattle isnt coming to town in the divisional round as theyd be the No. 6 seed. Arizona would draw a matchup against the Packers, Redskins or Vikings if they secure the No. 2 seed. This is where we start to wonder if its better to be the No. 2 seed. (Its not unle s youre petrified of Seattle.)Packers fans should root for A win over the Vikings to secure the division, a home playoff game and the No. 3 seed. Also pull for the Seahawks to beat the Cardinals, setting up an immediate rematch against the Vikings in Lambeau a week later in the playoffs.Vikings fans should root for Honestly, Vikings fans should root for a close lo s against Green Bay that inspires confidence in the team and doesnt result in any injuries. Worst case is the Seahawks beat the Cardinals and youre back in Green Bay a week later. Best case youre traveling to Washington. Winning the division automatically means hosting the Seahawks. Not ideal unle s your defense magically Stanley Johnson Jersey gets healthy. Redskins fans should root for The Cardinals to beat the Seahawks because then Seattle isnt walking through that door for a rematch of the 2012 playoff game. Also cheer for the Packers to beat the Vikings and then youre hosting Minnesota in a grinder of a divisional round game and not dealing with Aaron Rodgers against your secondary.Seahawks fans should root for A win over Arizona. It automatically means not having to travel to Lambeau Field and instead being a significant favorite over either the Redskins or Vikings in a road playoff game. A Packers win means Washington, a Vikings win means Minnesota.
