NFC Playoff Picture, Week 12: Seahawks pose major challenge to Packers’ home-field hopes

The hunt is on for home-field advantage. The Green Bay Packers are in a great position this season with six weeks to go, holding a half-game lead (plus a tiebreaker) in the NFC North and playing the only team ahead of them in the conference standings this Sunday night.

With a game against the NFC West-leading 49ers on deck, the Packers have a chance to stake their claim to the top spot in the conference with just five games left. However, a Packers win on Sunday could send the 49ers down into second place in their own division, should the Seattle Seahawks beat the Philadelphia Eagles early in the day.
