The 49ers are still 1 1/2 up on Seattle, but with a visit to NE coming up while the Seahawks play Buffalo, it means this game could very well end up being for the division.

(9,709 posts)The 49ers have already played 4 prime time games...before Harbaugh showed up, they were never on anymore..
Seattle isn't an easy place to play. Seahawks are undefeated there. The 49ers could have avoided any of this potential drama if they had just won one of the Rams games...

(31,169 posts)Either way, FOX is televising both games -- Giants / Ravens is the aftrenoon double-header.
NBC televises the Chargers / Jets at 1:00 PM EST. That means Bob Costas doesn't get a primetime audience. Poor little guy ...

(31,169 posts)They changed it to CBS as you say and listed NBC as doing the 49ers / Seahawks. That can mean only one thing ...

(29,322 posts)AdvancedNFLStats calculated that they had about a 12% chance of making the playoffs when other 3-6 teams had about 1%-3% chance. The reason, according to them, was the remaining schedule. That and Indianapolis & Pittsburgh were not strong teams (at-the-time when the calculations were made)
