Packers can severely damage 49ers’ playoff hopes with win Sunday

The Green Bay Packers can put themselves on the verge of securing a playoff spot and severely damage the San Francisco 49ers’ chances of making the postseason with a win over the 49ers on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Timo Riske of Pro Football Focus tracks playoff chances and the “leverage” of individual games every week.

In Week 12, the Packers can improve their playoff chances to over 90 percent while knocking the 49ers down near 15 percent with a win in the playoff rematch on Sunday — making the game one of the most important in the NFC postseason chase this week.
