What the Packers need is the following:
Win our next 2 games against Minnesota and Atlanta. That will give us the Division I think or at least put us on a firm foundation to be there at 8-3..... Would also be great if we won 3 straight and beat the 49ers, that would put us at 9-3, and we'd have the tie breaker over the Falcons.
What we need is for the Saints and Giants to loose 2 of their next four.
NO has:
Bye
Seattle
@Dallas
@CIncy
@St Louis
@Baltimore
@Atlanta
Tampa
NY Has:
Dallas
@Philly
Jax
Washington
@Minny
Phily
@GB
@Wash
I dunno if Dallas or Seatlle can worry NO but Cincy has played good at times, as has St Louis. I'd love for the Ravens to beat them too, an then it would be up to Atlanta/TAmp/NO to figure out their own division.
For NY, Philly or Washington Could win one of those games, especially with injuries on the Giant's OL. If we can get up a game or two on NY then we don't have to worry about that week 16 contest here at Lambeau so much.
That's what I'd like to see any ways, could see the Packers take a 2 or 3 game lead in the next four weeks if the right teams win. Of course, Things may change if Philly wins a couple of games in a row including home Vs NY But my hope is the Redskins will take care of business at Home Vs Phily and keep them at 5-4 a game behind us while we are on the bye.
Edit:
After looking at the standings, I realize this discounts Chicago, but I'm trusting their blow up will continue and they will regress the rest of the year.
Chicago has games
@Buffalo
Minnesota
@Miami
Phily
@Detroit
New England
@Minnesota
NY
@GB
They are only a game back right now and could be tied with us if they beat Buffalo as expected this week. I'm hopeful the Vikings beat them next week though which will put them a game back again, and if they lose to NE, NY, or Phily, I think that would help us a lot before the final game, which I hope to win
