The NFC West race is officially over. The San Francisco 49ers beat the Seattle Seahawks on and they have clinched the NFC West title. The 49ers beat the Seahawks 21-13 and punched their ticket for the 2023 NFL Playoffs.
The 49ers improved to 10-4 while the Seahawks dropped to 7-7. The 49ers swept the head-to-head series this season, beating Seattle 27-7 in Week 2 and then claiming this Week 15 victory. Head-to-head is the first tiebreaker and with three games left and a three game lead, the division is secure. They sit in third place in the conference, half a game game back of the Vikings and 1.5 games back of the Eagles. They are 3.5 games up on the fourth place Bucs.
San Francisco opened the season with +150 odds to win the division, which were second to the Rams. LA was +130, Arizona was +400, and Seattle was +2000 after trading away Russell Wilson. Few figured the Seahawks would be contenders, but they remain alive in the playoff race, even with their 7-7 record. They need to get back on the winning track, but the wild card race is an option.
