NFL Playoff Picture: The best and worst case scenarios for the Seahawks in Week 16

It’s a tight finish in the NFC West between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams for the division title. The Arizona Cardinals are lurking at 7-7 but not in a great position for a miracle finish, whereas the 6-8 San Francisco 49ers could be eliminated from the playoffs this weekend.

With the Seahawks throwing away their slender division lead last week, the Rams hold first place on the head-to-head tiebreaker despite having an identical 8-6 record.
