The Vikings-Seahawk game is an interesting one. The Hawks are looking a lot better than they did three weeks ago, and Vikings, well, are in first place in the North.

So what's better? Win the division and the #3 seed and host Seattle, or win a wild card and #5 seed and travel to Washington or New York?

Is this a trick question?

[denverYooper]

Green Bay is 3-2 vs teams with winning records.

[mraynrand]

Packers win out, they are likely the #2 seed (who else will AZ lose to is an open ?). They probably can afford to lose another game and win the division, if they win the finale against the Vikings, since the Vikings would only have to lose one other game. Packers are going to have to beat the Vikings and win a tough road game at Det or at AZ to win the division. I think at this point, they will be fortunate just to get into the playoffs.

[denverYooper]

The Vikings still have to play Seattle, Arizona, Chicago, New York Giants, and Green Bay. They could easily go 1-4 or 4-1 depending on which Cutler shows up, which Giants team shows up, and whether or not the Packers get it together.

I don't want to see Seattle

It looks like it's the Panthers and Cards and a bunch of wunnabe's to me

For some reason I'm bold this week. Fuck Seattle, bring it on this weekend.


Vikings AT Cards might be a bit dicey.

[esoxx]

With Graham & Lynch out, you should be bold this week.

[Fritz]

If the Packers right the ship, it won't matter too much who and where they play, though a home game would be preferable.

Well said.

I like the second option. Tonight's matchup Vs the Lions is huge.

[Joemailman]

As we speak, Packers are again the #3 seed.

[Rutnstrut]

I really don't think a home playoff game is that much of an advantage for this team.

Maybe not, but they sure could use the extra week to get some guys healthy. They're pretty beat up.

They'll have to win out to get the bye week. That would mean winning at Arizona Dec. 27. Not impossible, but the offense will need to pick it up to have a chance.

Carrds have a pretty damn good offense as well, I sure hope the GB defense can at least slow them down.

In the past, it's been the second game at AZ that mattered most.

I love your avy Joe!
