The NFC playoff field is set, but seeding is still up for grabs.
The Philadelphia Eagles punched their ticket to the NFL playoffs with a 34-17 win over the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon at the Meadowlands, clinching the NFC East division and the No. 4 seed in the NFC. The Eagles join the 49ers, Seattle Seahawks, New Orleans Saints, Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings as the six teams battling to represent the NFC in Super Bowl LIV.
The 9-7 Eagles will play host to the No. 5 seeded wild-card team, who will be the loser of the 49ers-Seahawks clash on Sunday night. Although both San Francisco (12-3) and Seattle (11-4) will have a better record than Philadelphia, the Eagles still will have home-field advantage by virtue of winning their division.

Thus if the 49ers lose Sunday night in Seattle, the Seahawks will win the NFC West and the Niners will earn a date in Philadelphia in the wild-card round on Jan. 4 or 5. But if the 49ers beat the Seahawks, they will win the West, earn the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye, and will host their first playoff game since 2012 during the Divisional Round on Jan. 11 or 12.
In that scenario, the 49ers still could play the Eagles in Round 2. They would square off against the winner of the Eagles-Seahawks wild-card round game, unless the No. 6 seeded Vikings beat the No. 3 seed -- the Saints, in this hypothetical. If the Vikings were to go into New Orleans and take down Drew Brees and Co. in Round 1, the 49ers would welcome Minnesota to Levi's Stadium in Round 2.
Got all of that? Good.
