If the 49ers win the next three games and get help from the Rams can they lock down the NFC West and secure a spot in the playoffs?

No easy task with the schedule ahead! Assuming I’ve done math and applied the NFL tie break rules correctly.

The Rams would have to lose to the cardinals or lose two games to the Browns and Ravens. The 49ers would be in position to lock down the NFC West at home vs. the Seahawks on December 10, 2023. I feel it is more likely the Rams loose one to game to the Ravens the 49ers could be NFC Divisional Champions with a win vs. the Cardinals on December 17th.

Did I miss anything?

    Not technically. Seattle would have to lose at least one more game through the season.

    They would be at 6 losses and our floor would be 7 losses (if we lost every other game)

    Eagles & Ravens are both tough games.

    Based on ESPN playoff machine. If the Seahawks lose the next 3 and the 49ers win the next 3, 49ers are division champs.

    49ers can lose out after those 3 weeks, and Seattle can win out. 49ers have the tie breaker and win the NFC West at 10-7
