Number 1 and 2 seed question.. (1 Viewer)

[Trav4011]

If the number 1 seed loses in the 2nd/3rd round, does the number 2 seed get to host the NFCCG (assuming that they make it to the championship game)?

Yes. The higher seed remaining of the final two NFC teams hosts the NFC championship game.

The only team that can't host the Championship game is the 6 seed.

Sweet.. that's what I thought, but I had to double check. So, there's still a chance that we could host the game (if we make it that far), and GB loses at some point.

If the Packers lose in the Divisional round, the Saints will have home field throught

If the #1 seed loses in the Divisional round, the winner of the Divisional round with the highest remaining seed will host the Championship game.

Nothing has been decided yet, San Francisco is still alive for the #1 seed.

That's right! But a Packers victory this weekend against Kansas City secures the #1 seed for Green Bay. The Saints can only get as high as the #2 seed. To get that, they would have to have a better overall record than San Francisco.

Sorry, I still think the Saints will get the 2 seed though

Right. So I should have said:

At this point, three things have been decided. The Packers will get a first-round bye. The Whiners are hosting a playoff game. The Saints are in the playoffs. That's all that's been decided so far.



EDIT: Oh, wait. The Sucs, Kitties, 'Skins, Lambs, and Queens are all eliminated from the playoffs. That's been decided, too.

The #2 is as good as the #1 - except for bragging rights.

Tell that to Minnesota

Lol.

This. Although, I'm not convinced that Green Bay will have an advantage as far as field conditions when we go up there. They are more pass reliant than we are.

True, but that's because they can't host any playoff game.

our Oline is much better than when we first played + any sloppy condition slows down their edge rushers
SP has fuigured out the rb rotation (and ingram is running smarter)

plus i don't think i'm the only one who anticipates GB hitting a big wall
i think their "super bowl hangover (i know, i know) was delayed by the lockout, but it's coming
