99% sure they are not

I'm almost positive that the NFL is going to want the Rams/49ers game and the Cardinals/Seahawks game to be played at the same time.

If the Rams game is flexed to Saturday and they beat the 49ers then the Cards game has no playoff implications. The Cards would be the 5th seed whether they win or lose ... which means they would have an opportunity to rest players if they want, giving them a potential advantage that they wouldn't have had.
