Right now the Wild Card Games would be
Bears at Saints
Lions at Giants

Good chance the divisional round would be a third game with a divisional opponent.

1.5. The goal is home field advantage. We should be severely disappointed with anything less.

I am only thinking about winning the division right now. Lock that up first then move on to the first round bye and then the best record in the conference after that. I normally don't begin my climb on the third rung of a ladder.

Some trivia questions for some of you that follow this thread:

1) What 3 teams have been in playoff position all 7 weeks?
(Hint: 2 NFC, 1 AFC)

2) Which team appeared in playoff position for the first time this week?

3) Which NFC teams made the playoffs last year and have not been in playoff position yet this season?

So whom do we have left?

@Chargers - tough game considering our d hasnt stopped many points ... I still dont get why bernett is playing with a broken hand; he wont be getting many interceptions with that hand ...
IMO I see us winning but will be a close one

Vikings - another win; its at home and its the queens

Buccaneers - we win this one

@Lions - my friend back home says we usually lose thanksgiving game vs the lions ... hmmm Id rather not but should be a good game

@Giants - another tough one

Raiders - least we got the raiders at home

@Chiefs - gimnmie game

Bears - I knew I needed something else to do for christmas (all my cousins are bears fans and should be a good game to watch at their house).

Lions - who knows but I say we win

needless to say Im glad we have a lead in our division ... not many gimmie games ... lions on thanksgiving, charges and giants should be fun

True, although it is a rare Super Bowl that features both Number 1 seeds. I did the math last year (I'd have to dig up the thread). If I remember correctly, only 13% of Super Bowls have featured two Number 1 seeds. I created that thread to point out that even though they were a Number 6, there was still hope for the Packers, since there was an 87% chance that both Number 1 seeds wouldn't make it past the second weekend.

Granted it's been more common as of late for lower seeds to make it. Being a number 1 seed is still a huge advantage. For the record, each of the four seasons in which a number 1 did not make it, a number 2 did.

There is a syntactical ambiguity to my statement, which could be interpreted as saying that it was likely that neither Number 1 seed would make it to the Super Bowl. What I meant to say is that there was an 87 percent chance that the Super Bowl would feature either one or no Number 1 seed. In other words, there was only a 13 percent chance that both top seeds would be in the Super Bowl.

It is very common that a Super Bowl features a Number 1 seed. It is quite rare that it features both Number 1 seeds. That pattern held true this year as well.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
