It sucks that the NFC games that matter to us are all late kickoffs. There is a chance that 3/4 of the way through our game, we could find out the niners are up big. What then?

And try to out all the other games that might effect each other at the same time.
Play to win, because even if up big, they could still then lose...
How do the Seahawks get #1 if the Packers lose? I'm still confused about that. Strength of schedule?

If Packers and Seahawks lose, then Packers have head to head tie breaker over the Saints and Packers take the #1 seed.
If Packers lose and Saints and Seahawks win, then it's a 3 way tie and the head to head vs the Saints doesn't matter because they didn't play the Seahawks also and the Saints win #1 seed based on NFC Standings as they only lost 2 NFC games, while Packers and Seahawks loss 3 NFC games.
If Packers and Seahawks tie head to head, then the Seahawks take it in common games played...
As if they tied (ie Seahawks beat 49ers in week 17) the Seahawks would be 5-0 in common games played between the 49ers, Falcons, Eagles and Vikings... where Packers would be 4-1 because of their loss to the Vikings.
