If Packers win they host Seattle, if they lose they play Redskins...

Big difference in my opinion... Will Packers care who they play in playoffs or play to win the division?

Been throwing this back and forth all day. can't wrap my head around it...

Thoughts anyone?

This is incorrect. If the Packers win they host the Vikings next week by virtue of the Seahawks win over Arizona today. If Minnesota wins GB would play @ Washington.

I suppose they would rather play the Skins but don't think they lay off for that reason. However, would both scenarios be in Green Bay..or if they lose do they travel to Seattle?

Here's what I see from CBS Sports:

NFC No. 3 through 6 seeding scenarios:

If GB wins:
• GB No. 3, WAS No. 4, SEA No. 5, MIN No. 6

If GB ties:
• GB No. 3, WAS No. 4, MIN No. 5, SEA No. 6

If MIN wins:
• MIN No. 3, WAS No. 4, GB No. 5, SEA No. 6

So if GB wins they play MIN at home and WAS plays SEA at home.
If MIN wins GB plays WAS on the road and MIN plays SEA at home.

Honestly, I think the Vikings should tank this game. If they win they have to host the hottest team in the NFL (Seahawks). If they lose, they play this same game next week. Why not come out with the flattest game plan imaginable while showing the Packers absolutely none of your cards? Then come in next week with a full game plan that the Pack aren't able to study on tape or prepare for while you've got solid tape on GB. That would be a solid edge. There's nothing harder in pro sports than going 3-0 against one NFL team in the same season.

What a stupid question. If you notice Buffalo had nothing to play for and beat the Jets. This is a rivalry game and for the division title. If you're afraid of who you play next you shouldn't be in the NFL playoffs. These guys don't play to match up against another team.

These are professionals with pride and some are playing for roster spots and contracts in the future.. This game is to win the division championship and clinch a home playoff game in front of their own fans. Nobody is tanking anything.

See, I never understood that.... why does Seattle get to avoid going to Green Bay but they can be a sixth seed if Minny win and play @ minny? Someone please point that out to me




Ohhh it must be because Greenbay has the tie breaker over Seattle if both are 10-6 because they beat them in the head to head? Think I answered my own question.

If Minny wins then GB and SEA are both 10-6 but GB beat SEA head to head so they hold the tie breaker and would be the higher seed. If GB wins and MIN and SEA end with same record, SEA beat MIN H2H and holds the tiebreaker so SEA would be the higher seed and Minny would fall to 6.

Yup. Thanks. I for some reason thought Seattle was going to be the 6th seed regardless.

Nobody plays to lose. Bonuses involved with winning division too. This is PROFESSIONAL football.

They are running every play after their latest INT and then when they get a 1st down they get called for holding.
