Niners Nation
The San Francisco 49ers anxiously await their Wild Card opponent. On Sunday afternoon, a Los Angeles Rams win over the Arizona Cardinals would mean the Niners are the sixth seed. If the Rams lose, the 49ers will travel to the NFC South winner, which turned out to be the Carolina Panthers.
The Rams are 14.5-point favorites. Sean McVay said the starters will play. They should take out their frustrations from last week’s loss against the Falcons on the Cardinals.
The Eagles will host the Commanders, but the majority of their starters will sit. If Washington can “upset” Philadelphia and the Rams win, the 49ers are traveling across the country to face the Eagles, presumably for a Sunday afternoon matchup.
The other game to keep an eye on is between the Detroit Lions and the Chicago Bears. Dan Campbell doesn’t have anything to play for, but the Lions have zero intention of laying down. It’s unlikely the Lions win by 30, as they did in Week 2, but their offense should be able to keep pace with Caleb Williams and company.
