APC Week 17 NFL Picks: Packers will clinch #1 seed, knock Bears out of playoffs with win

The Green Bay Packers have a thrilling opportunity this Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field. They will meet the Chicago Bears in a season finale for the first time since 2013, when Green Bay famously won on Aaron Rodgers’ 48-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb. This year it’s not a win-and-you’re-in game for the Packers, but rather a chance to earn home-field advantage in the playoffs and the NFC’s only playoff bye.

The Bears, on the other hand, are fighting to make it into the postseason. A Chicago win puts them in the playoffs and could set up a rematch at Lambeau Field in a few days in the Wild Card round, depending on the final seeding across the conference.
