Probably puts them in as the 6th seed and eliminates the Saints? Since we hold a tie breaker over them?

Not sure

If you do playoff predictor and 49ers, Saints and Eagles all end up on same record, Eagles finish 6th, Saints 7 and 49ers 8. If more than 1 team tied on same record and they haven't all played each other it goes on conference record doesn't it?

It comes down to conference record if that eventuates according to this - https://www.nfl.com/standings/tie-breaking-procedures

 

Three or More Clubs

(Note: If two clubs remain tied after third or other clubs are eliminated, tie breaker reverts to step 1 of applicable two-club format.)

1. Apply division tie breaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tie breaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.
2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)
3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
