With their win Sunday night over the Chicago Bears, the 49ers improved to 12-4 heading into next week\u2019s regular season finale against the 13-3 Seahawks. That means San Francisco kept alive its hopes of winning the NFC West and NFC\u2019s No. 1 seed to the postseason, which it would clinch with a win over Seattle.<\/p>\n
But the Seahawks, who will be the only 13-win team in the NFC entering the final week of play, can do the same by beating the Niners.<\/p>\n
Next week\u2019s Seahawks-49ers game has been announced for a 5 p.m. Saturday kickoff. The TV broadcast will air on ABC, while the Seattle Sports radio broadcast<\/a> will begin at 2 p.m. with the pregame show.<\/p>\n While the Seahawks and 49ers would have even 13-4 records if San Francisco wins next Saturday, that would clinch a tiebreaker for the 49ers, who already own the head-to-head advantage over Seattle thanks to their 17-13 win over the Hawks back in Week 1.<\/p>\n San Francisco\u2019s 42-38 win over Chicago on Sunday night took the NFC North-leading Bears (11-5) out of contention for the NFC\u2019s top seed and the bye that comes with it in the playoffs.<\/p>\n NFL standings<\/a><\/p>\n There\u2019s one other team that can tie for the best record in the division and conference: the Los Angeles Rams (11-4). But the Rams, who still have games against the Falcons (6-9) on Monday night and Arizona Cardinals (3-13) next week, cannot win a tiebreaker over either Seattle or San Francisco.<\/p>\n If San Francisco beats Seattle and all three teams finish with identical 13-4 records, the Niners would win the division and No. 1 seed over the Rams and Seahawks based on the second tiebreaker, which is in-division record. San Francisco would improve to 5-1 in NFC West games with a win over the Seahawks while Seattle would drop to 3-3, and the Rams could be no better than 4-2.<\/p>\n NFL tiebreaking procedures<\/a><\/p>\n If the Seahawks beat the 49ers next week, it not only would clinch it all for them but also give them 14 wins in a season for the first time in team history.<\/p>\n More on the Seattle Seahawks<\/p>\n \u2022 Seahawks rushing attack finding stride at right time<\/a>
