How does this playoff scenario work?

Question

It has been said theres a chance the 49ers first round opponent could be the Dallas Cowboys.

How is this possible when they should play the wild card winner with the lowest seed as the reward for them being the overall number one seed? Dallas is the 2 seed.

By the way. I would love that scenario from a betting standpoint if that were true.

I think the only chance for Dallas @ San Francisco is at NFC Championship.

@vetdrm&#xA; It&#x27;s not possible.  #1 plays the lowest seed winner of WC round.  Buccs winning at #4 will be highest seed SF can see in Divisional.  Pokes @ Niners rematch for NFCCG
