    If I remember right, the Packers had the 6 toughest schedule based on last years record. the Viking were somewhere around 16th.

    Ok, so they barely won tonight… what’s all the hype about?

    Seriously, should be a great square up between them and the vikes next weekend. Looking forward to it.

    P.s. the only thing that could make this any juicier is if tlazer and walleyes4me showed up. But idk if my heart is ready for that. OOFDAH.

    Merry Christmas, hallelujah, holy shidt… where’s the Tylenol?

    What do the Packers have to play for anymore. They are essentially locked into the 6 seed in the NFC. Washington has a minimal chance of catching them and they cannot catch the Vikings.

    I could see them resting players in week 18 against Chicago. At this point their first round opponent seems very likely to be the Rams.

    Opening line has the Vikings favored by 2 points on Sunday.

    I’m surprised they played the starters as much as they did. The saints were terrible.

    Even though it was a complete blow out and first shutout in the 240 games played this season, I do think that Love looked sub-par last night.

    His rating wasn’t all that bad, but he missed some throws that normally he would make. A few of them were truly terrible, hoping he was just having an off night.

    Solid win against a depleted squad. To hold any NFL team scoreless is impressive given today’s BS offensive favoring rules as well. They were able to do it without Jaire, Bullard, or Quay Walker on D as well.

    I think the Cheese vs Queens showdown should be a tight one. I’ll favor the Vikings slightly with the home field + more to play for with seeding implications.

    Packers 23

    ???

    I read if the Packers win their next two games (Vikes-Bears), and the Vikings lose to the Lions, the Packers would take the 5th seed/2nd place ahead of the Vikings.

    Seems like a very possible scenario. Not entirely likely, but possible?

    Correct B Man, a lot to be decided yet these last couple weeks in the NFC. Should be fun!

    If the Packers win their final 2 games, and the Vikings lose their final two games, each team would be 13-4.

    Second tie breaker is divisional record. Each team would finish 3-3 in the division.

    The third tie breaker is W-L in common games. I’d have to dig deeper into that one. It’s possible, so you may be right.

    Fourth tie breaker is conference record. I assume that would also be tied too since neither team has lost to an AFC opponent.

    It’s also still possible that Washington could catch the Packers and drop them into the 7 seed. That would place Green Bay in Philly for the wild card round.

    Here is a screen shot from espn regarding seeding percentage possibility in NFC. Not sure all the scenarios but from this pack can still get 5 seed.

    Good info Weedis. So essentially the Eagles appear to be the only team nearly locked into a spot, which is the 2 seed. I have a feeling they will be resting Jalen Hurts who suffered a concussion.
