Early Playoff Picture

Division Leaders:
Denver
Indy
New England
Cincinnati

Wildcard:
Pittsburgh
Baltimore
NY Jets
Jacksonville
Houston

Best case scenerio in week 7 matchups. Obviously assuming the texans manage to win. Jacksonville is on a bye, so we would jump them by half a game. The Jets play at Oakland riding a 3 game losing streak. I dont see them losing there. Baltimore is on a bye, so we could pass them. The Steelers host the undefeated Vikings. If the Viking manage to win in Pittsburgh, we would have the same record, but the Steelers would win the tiebreaker. Cincy hosts the Bears at home in a tough game. The Pats have a fairly easy game on the road against the winless Buccs. The 2-3 Chargers roll into KC, probably a win there. 2-3 Miami hosts the undefeated Saints, lets call that a loss. So the wildcard would look like this with a Steeler, Cincy, Miami loss:

Wildcard:
NY Jets
Pittsburgh
Houston
Baltimore
Jacksonville
San Diego

So while the 49ers are an out of conference game, this is a big game because we have the opportunity to jump half a game on 2 wildcard teams this week in Jacksonville and Baltimore. Its going to be important to stay ahead of Jacksonville heading into our rematch as they hold a head to head tiebreaker on us. Baltimore still has to play the Steelers twice, so that works in our favor. So despite our early season troubles, we are still in the hunt. Now would be a good time for them to get some momentum going.
