If these two things happen, the 49ers would finish 13-4 and win the NFC West over a 13-4 Rams team based on the division record tiebreaker. If the Seahawks also finish 13-4 in this scenario, the 49ers would have swept them, so they'd win any tiebreaker with Seattle. At 7-to-1 odds to win the NFC West, the 49ers feel like a steal.

If the Rams lose, they need a smorgasbord of upsets to retain the top seed. If the Rams fall to 10-4, then any of Seattle (vs Colts with Philip Rivers), Green Bay (vs Broncos), Chicago (vs Browns), or even San Francisco (vs Titans) can swoop in and claim the top spot with a win.

The winner of Rams vs. Seahawks will have a big advantage in the NFC West title race, though there's still a long way to go in the season.

The Seattle Seahawks cruised to victory on Sunday, defeating the Atlanta Falcons 37-9. Their rival Los Angeles Rams matched the result (and dominant performance) by beating the Arizona Cardinals 45-17. Both teams improved to 10-3 as a result and remain tied atop the NFC West division.

The fourth-year Seattle Seahawks cornerback was penalized over the same transgression twice this season, and that’s bad news — for him.

Seattle kicker Jason Myers misses a 61-yard field goal as time expires as the Rams escape with a 21-19 win for their fifth consecutive victory.

The Rams can't improve their chances to earn the No. 1 seed very much with a win on Sunday, but losing to the Lions will sink their odds.

Despite having the best record in the NFC at 9-3 after beating the Vikings, the Seattle Seahawks aare still only a Wild Card team.
