[QUOTE="PackAttack12, post: 751665, member: 11933"] The Packers definitely received some help today. As I detailed in the shoutbox this afternoon, the Packers have quite a few ways to make it to the playoffs. Again, all of this is contingent on the Packers running the table and finishing 10-6. With that said, lets also assume: Vikings win the North Eagles win the East (I think they clinched) Saints win the South In the West, it will be either the Rams or Seahawks as the division champ. The other team will have an opportunity to make it in as a wild card team. The Packers would hold the tie breaker over the Seahawks with its week 1 victory over them. To pass the Seahawks, the Packers would need for them to lose 1 of its last 3 (Rams, @Cowboys, Cardinals). The Packers would also hold the tie breaker on the Rams based on conference record. So as far as tie breakers go with the West teams, the Packers are in the driver's seat. To pass the Rams, the Packers would need them to lose 2 of its last 3 (@Seattle, @Titans, 49ers). Now, with the South teams, the Packers do not hold the tie breaker over the Falcons. So the Packers will need for the Falcons to lose 2 of the next 3 (@Bucs, @Saints, Panthers) to pass them. However, it's not 100% necessary to pass the Falcons, as both the Falcons and Packers could be the two teams to occupy the wild card spots. With the Panthers, a win next week is absolutely necessary for the Packers to have a realistic shot at the playoffs. Then, the Panthers would need to lose 1 of its last 2 (Bucs, @Falcons). The above teams are all the Packers need to be concerned with. What the Lions do is of no consequence to the Packers. What the Cowboys do is of no consequence to the Packers. [B]So, the most realistic path I have for the Packers to make it is the following: [/B] [B]Packers win out Seahawks lose one more game, meaning they'll finish no higher than 10-6. Panthers lose the Packers, and one more to either the Bucs or Falcons. ^ that simple scenario seals it. Packers would be in. No questions asked.[/B] Last thing: A VERY unlikely scenario, but not impossible, includes the Vikings losing its last three, meaning the Packers win the division. The Vikings last 3 games are: Bengals, [USER=1693]@Packers[/USER], Bears. [/QUOTE]
