In my opinion, the 3 seed will equal a home game against the NY Giants or NO Saints, and a second round matchup vs. either DAL Cowboys or GB Packers.
In my opinion, the 4 seed will equal a home game against the MN Vikings and a second round matchup vs. either DAL Cowboys or GB Packers.
Here's why the 3 seed matters over the 4 seed. There would be a chance (a fairly low one, but a chance still) that if they could upset DAL or GB in the 2nd round, that they could host the NFC Title Game. As the 4 seed, the only way they could host the NFC Title Game would be if the 6 seed goes on a run.
More likely to go on a run: TB / MIN or NYG / NO???
I'll take my chances w/ TB or especially MIN to pull off something special.
Now of course all of this doesn't matter one bit if the Seahawks can't win their 1st round game and then beat DAL or GB. I'm just trying to emphasize that there is a huge amount to play for, that the 3 seed vs the 4 seed really does matter.
