Let me see if I have this right… Seahawks have the tie break over the Vikings but not the Packers (based on head-to-head results), yes? So if the Packers win tonight, they get the 3rd seed and the Seahawks are 5th, but if the Vikings win they get the 3rd seed and the Seahawks fall to 6th. Is that right? ---

> [@Maserschmidt](#): > > Yeah, I had that a bit wrong… They were 5–3 both at home and on the road. Packers are not really supposed to be in the playoffs since they won that game in Detroit on a Hailmary which should have them at 9-7 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/nfl-week-16/741312.md?page=2)
