Packers with 8% chance of making playoffs. Goes up to 20% if they beat Miami. 0.8 % if they lose.

[texaspackerbacker]

The Niners still have something to play for - the bye week. I would think the percentage goes up considerably if they knock off Washington. Seattle losing to KC also would help and should happen. Carolina knocking off the Lions is maybe too much to hope for, but who knows. I still think the Lions aren't really that good.

But all that is for nothing if we don't hold serve.

Well, one thing bodes well. All 3 teams we need to lose play MN, SF and KC. One thing does not. We have to go to Miami where they have been very good. I believe that is where the fairy tale ends.

The Panthers still in the running for their division. That fact should help the Packers, as Carolina should be motivated to beat Detroit.

[Fosco33]

Lions are least of our concern. If we beat them - we’re fine.

Just need Washington, Giants or Seattle to lose 2 games ea.

[RashanGary]

I don’t know how the tie breakers would work with Detroit and Seattle.

Commanders have to lose 2
Giants would have to lose 3

[RashanGary]

Probably the least likely thing to go in our favor is winning out.

[RashanGary]

I kind of hope the giants keep winning and Dallas loses 1. Id like for Dallas to have something to play for in week 18

[Fosco33]

Lots of ways to go - but almost all of them require winning out.

Somewhat of a moot point. We’re not going to the playoffs.

[Joemailman]

Packers now projected to have a 90% of making playoffs if they win out. They have a 37% chance of beating Miami tomorrow. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2022-nfl-predictions/games/?ex_cid=rrpromo
