The answer is no.
At worst it has no impact.

This was prior to the 2020 SB.
"Teams that have earned a first-round bye have represented the AFC and the NFC in the Super Bowl in each of the past six years, with no wild-card team going to the Super Bowl since the 2012 Baltimore Ravens (they defeated San Francisco in Super Bowl XLVII).

You would think it's obvious that going for 2 is the better choice; there's a 62.4% chance of success for 2 points (expected value 1.28) as opposed to a 94% chance of 1 (.94) But studies by economists show that most people are risk-averse .(That's why life insurance is so popular.) So most would probably prefer the near-certainty of one point to the uncertainty of two -- even though from a strictly mathematical point of view, going for two is better. Even if they lose by going for 1, they will feel less regret than if they had gone for 2 and lost because they failed.

Niners own the Rams like crazy (beaten them 6 straight including that ass kicking earlier in the season). They've been the best team in the league since the second half of the season (first half they struggled due to a lot of injuries).

For the Giants nothing much

I can’t stand the 49ers but their traditional road whites with the gold pants are very, very nice. Don’t like the home reds which is ironic since red is my color.
Best uniforms in the NFL (which they sadly rarely wear because of a dumb superstition) is Dallas’ home blues. And I absolutely LOATHE the Cowboys with every fiber of my being. But those are sweet.

The joke is that the Rams have minimal fans and the stadium would be filled with 49ers fan.
Rams would not really have a significant home field advantage over SF.
exactly once the Rams moved to St. Louis and Raiders back to Oakland, the majority of football fans in LA became 49ers fans anyway, not to mention that LA sports fans in general are terrible. I would venture to say 4 out of 5 football fans in California root for the 49ers.
Yeah, need to have the darker blue with silver (not white) pants. Like the Dorsett Era. My other favorites are the Raiders (both home and away) and while appreciate the Chargers 70’s/80’s unis that they’ve brought back in recent years, I actually liked the Oilers baby blues better. The Titans don’t do justice to the franchise’s traditional color scheme in my opinion.
The 1997-2008 Bucs uniforms which they brought back lat year are in my top 5. Instant classics in my opinion.
Was a big play by Apple. But most plays he's the one getting beaten. Probably the biggest liability on the Bengals D.Eli Apple with big INT at game's end

I did. Close finishes don't mean great games or great play.
Games can be entertaining but there are too many commercials. I almost never watch a game live.
Does that mean you were not entertained? if not, what sport are you watching for entertainmen?
I do that for all sports. Try to time it where I can catch up and be live at the end.
That is true. But the converse is also true. Sometimes a blowout is a great game. I cite last week's Buffalo - New England game, in which Buffalo (offensively at least) played a PERFECT game. Perfect. As a result, the game was a blowout.
I do that also - the only exception is Rutgers football and basketball when my friends are all texting about the game. I suck it up and watch the commercials then, much as it pains me to do it.
I'm very confused by your posts in this thread. Are you saying g NFL players don't play football at a high level? They are, in every sense of the word, the best football players on earth. The level of play doesn't get higher.
Brady gets unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for yelling at the ref. I HATE standing up for Brady, but he was right. It was contact to the head, and according to the rules should be called. Ref didn't like being told he was wrong.
Lip was busted with minimal blood.
Did you see some of the plays in that game last night?
Even the best in the world get sloppy.
