I vowed that I'd never get into these hypotheticals, and Damn it, now I am. Anyway, I think the winner of gb det gets the #2 no matter what. I was worried there could be a scenario where the Pack goes right back to Ford Field next week, and I don't think that's possible...so the prize Sunday is a 1st week bye as far as I can tell.

That won't be true for Week 17 although the "what if this or that" was more interesting to me than the game versus the Buccaneers.

I'm hoping and halfway expecting the Rams to rise up and knock off the Seahawks this week to make the situation more clear.

Zero, I really don't see the Cards winning any games.
