    Ugh. I forgot this game was in Minnesota.

    I have a bad feeling about this.

            Football Outsiders currently has Packers with 82% chance of winning the division, but only about 30% chance of 1st round bye. That of course means the expect the Packers to lose 1 game, likely the Vikings. https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/playoffodds They have the Packers as heavy favorites for #3 seed, and Vikings as heavy favorites as #6 seed. This of course would set up 3rd Packer/Viking game in divisional round at Lambeau.

              That wouldn't be the worst thing ....... I still expect the Packers to win out and have that first round bye, though. And what nobody wants to talk about, we still could be the #1 seed if things fall right. All it would take is for the loser of the game between Seattle and SF to lose to somebody else - not likely, but possible. That's assuming the Packers do win out.
              What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                Sorry, but wrong. It would take the winner of the 49ers Seahag game to lose the next Sunday.
                But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                  I stand corrected - I should have said the winner, not loser of that 49ers Seahag game to lose this week - thus giving both of them 4 losses.

                    Right. Both teams need to lose a game. They play each other the last week. This week, Seahawks host the Cardinals and 49ers host the Rams. Rams could definitely beat the 49ers.

                      Barring a miracle Seahawks will lose to Cardinals. So if I have it right, to get the #1 seed Packers have to win out and have Seahawks beat 49ers next week.
