The NFC playoff race couldn’t be set up more perfectly. The Green Bay Packers are in business after two disappointing seasons. Win out and they will have a first-round bye with an outside chance of earning the NFC’s top seed.
Who would’ve thought that back in August?
On the flip side, the Packers could still yet miss out on the postseason entirely or end up with a wild-card berth with the Minnesota Vikings hosting a playoff game as NFC North champions.
The Packers caught a break with their schedule, facing matchups against the New York Giants and Washington Redskins.
