The Green Bay Packers have an opportunity to clinch the NFC North and a home playoff game with a win on Sunday night against the Detroit Lions. This is simple math - the winner of the game will be 10-6, while the loser will be 9-7, giving the division to the victor.
However, the loser of the game can also still find their way into the playoffs if certain things break their way. Specifically, Washington needs to lose to the New York Giants, knocking them down to 8-7-1. (Note that even more chaos ensues if Washington and New York tie or if other results end in ties, and we’re only considering win/loss results for now.
