Arizona Cardinals (9-3)
vs. Kansas City (7-5)
at St. Louis (5-7)

at San Francisco (7-5)

Given the way St Louis is playing, this is a very tough schedule.
Prediction 1-3 to finish 10-6

Philadelphia Eagles (9-3)
vs. Seattle (8-4)

Prediction 3-1 to finish 12-4

Seattle Seahawks (8-4)
at Philadelphia (9-3)

Very tough schedule, especially the road games.
Prediction 3-1 to finish 11-5

Dallas Cowboys (8-4)
at Chicago (5-7)
at Philadelphia (9-3)
vs. Indianapolis (8-4)

Prediction 2-2 to finish 10-6

Detroit Lions (8-4)
vs. Tampa Bay (2-10)
vs. Minnesota (5-7)
at Chicago (5-7)

Three cream puffs and then the showdown

I'll take it.

[hoosier]

Gotta hope that Seattle and Philly each lose one more game. Otherwise GB has to win out. But who to root for in the Sea @ Phi game? Whoever wins that has a decent chance of running their table.

A Sea-Philly tie would be a huge gift for GB.

[Tyrion Lannister]

Playoffs? A nice win against the Pats, the premier team of the AFC, and everyone is talking playoffs.

Until the Packers actually clinch a spot, I'm gonna defer all playoffs questions to Jim Mora.

Not really, a tie doesn't help the Packers against Philly. I think the Seahawks have a better chance of losing one of their last three than Philly does. Dallas didn't look like much last week at home against the Eagles, so I don't think they will fare much better in Philly. The Sea-Arizona game will be critical for the division, so I could see the Cards taking that one, and the Rams have improved so much I wouldn't put the upset past them.

But don't forget about the NFC North itself. Detroit has two home games now against Tampa and Minny, and then on to Chicago to take on the toothless Bears.

Plus they get their two top offensive linemen back this week.

Root for Philly. We have the head-to-head against them in our favor. We don't against SEA.

You're right, somehow I was thinking Philly already had four losses, not three. I think Arizona is flaming out while Seattle is on the rise. Sea Squawks will beat them easily. For GB, Seattle is the most dangerous team in the NFC right now, so rooting for Philly makes sense.

[mraynrand]

I'd hate to see Seattle win on the road in Philly. I think the Packers can beat Philly home or away; not so sure about Seattle.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Seattle is turning into what Dallas was vs us from the 90's. We're so damn worried about playing them.

49ers more like the Cowboys. Same story - the 'dynasty' ends with injuries and age (and maybe a little insanity/alzheimer's w/respect to Hairball/Switzer). Seattle's just a tough defensive team. I just don't want them looking as tough as they did (on defense) last week, especially on the road.

×2

Also, a road game in Philly seems more manageable than one in Seattle.

Hell yes.
