The San Francisco 49ers could be the NFC West champion and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. Or they could be the No. 5 seed and go on the road in the Wild Card Round.
That's why this week's Sunday night matchup is crucial for the 49ers. They're going on the road to face the Seattle Seahawks in the regular-season finale with a lot on the line. The winner will earn the NFC West title. Seattle could also potentially ascend to the No. 1 seed if it wins.
The 49ers-Seahawks clash is one of several big games on the final Sunday of the regular season.
