The Detroit Lions control their own destiny for home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. All they need to do is beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night, and they’ll earn the NFC’s top seed, a first round bye, and their second consecutive NFC North title. If the Lions lose, they’ll take the No. 5 seed in the conference and face off against the NFC four seed in a road Wild Card game.
For many of you, I’m sure you’re not really focused on anything else. If the Lions take care of business, no other Week 18 results really matter.
