The NFC West now officially has a team in the postseason. The Los Angeles Rams clinched a postseason berth with their 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions. However, their lead in the NFC West has not changed. They are still in first place in the division but have the same record as the second-place Seattle Seahawks.

The Rams could all but clinch the top seed Thursday, but a Seahawks win would put Seattle in control ... and open the door for the 49ers.

The Arizona Cardinals are having one of their worst seasons in recent history, and it is happening when the NFC West might be having its best year. The Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers all have at least 10 wins. All are on track to make the playoffs and all have a real shot at the top seed in the conference.

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.
