Packers have clinched NFC North. Lions and Bears have been eliminated from the playoffs. That is all.

[RashanGary]

I’m crossing my fingers for some health breaks down the stretch. Even if we don’t get our guys back, at least don’t lose any more and we have a chance to be playing our best ball in January.

Dallas has a decent chance of winning out. If that happens, we need to win out too.

[RashanGary]

I’m hoping for low wind games at home. Both Cleveland and Minnesota have the RBs to really push us in a wind game. We have Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams so I think a balanced game gives us a better chance.

[Fritz]

I wouldn't want to see SF in the playoffs. I hope GB can bag that #1 seed and get a week off.

[texaspackerbacker]

The way things are going, I may need to root against my second favorite team. The say they've been stumbling and bumbling on offense, though, they may drop a game regardless.

Of course, if the Packers run the table, as they should, noting else matters.

I hadn't watched them for over a month.

Holy cow they've fixed what was ailing them.

They look tough and physical.

And Jimmy G just threw his second pick. lol

[smuggler]

If what you've got posted is accurate, I believe the 49ers loss put the Cowboys into the playoffs.

[Joemailman]

49ers losing throws that #6 seed up for grabs. Those three 7-7 teams with an opportunity.

[texaspackerbacker]

It's not out of the question that the Packers could have the #1 seed wrapped up by the time we play the Lions - turning the game into a Love-fest.

I believe they have to win their next 2, and they need the Cowboys to lose to Arizona.

[George Cumby]

IDK if it's a good thing to have it locked up by the Lions game.

I'm always a little concerned about when a team gets too much time off.

[texaspackerbacker]

I believe they have to win their next 2, and they need the Cowboys to lose to Arizona.

Arizona has been stinking it up, but so have the Cowboys recently.

I tend to agree with Cumby about the time off thing, but it might help Rodgers' toe, etc.

How is your numerology book going? Are you going to be posting deep insight about the number 42 anytime soon?
