To have any chance IN the playoffs they need to run the table given who they still play. They got 3 home games they should win. The game in Miami will be tough, but if we can't win it, we probably can't make noise in the playoffs either.

Not sure, but I think the Packers could actually lose a game and have a slim mathematical chance.

Has to be a AFC team.

If they lose to Dolphins and beat Rams, Vikings and Lions, 538.com gives them 11% chance of making playoffs.
If they win next 3 and lose to the Lions their chances are 1%

Let's just say it's not good when you get to the point in which your team has to run the table AND you have to hope about three or four teams in front of you have to lose a bunch.

Packers always play like garbage in Florida, they will lose to Miami. Not that Miami is great, but I don't think Barry's D can stop them. After that game they are likely out of the playoffs unless NYG / SEA continue to crap the bed...which is entirely possible.

Just like the NFL planned it to generate interest aka revenue until the last minute of the season.

Are you sure? I think it would come down strength of victory - after head to head, conference record, and common opponents.
