This week, you’re big fans of the Buccaneers and Rams on Sunday. Tampa Bay plays at Detroit while Chicago travels to St. Louis, and both games are going on at the same time as Packers-Vikings, so it’s going to be a ticker-update kind of day.
With the Lions and Bears tied for the NFC North lead at 6-4, one game ahead of the Packers, losses by them would matter most right now. The best path to the playoffs is to win the division, so those games will always take priority until further notice.
After that, there are four other games this week you should pay attention to that could factor into a potential Wild Card scenario down the road.
Former Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin can help his old team by having his Dolphins stop the Panthers’ current six-game winning streak, which has them at 7-3.
Another hot NFC team, 6-4 Arizona, has won three in a row, and you wouldn’t mind seeing the Cardinals stumble at home against the Colts.
Suddenly struggling San Francisco, also 6-4, visits Washington on Monday night, and it wouldn’t hurt if the Redskins end their losing streak before the 49ers do.
Last but certainly not least is the NFC East showdown between 5-5 Dallas and the 4-6 New York Giants at the Meadowlands, which will hit most of your FOX stations once Packers-Vikings concludes.
