I want the Packers to win this game for a couple of reasons.
- To keep our home winning streak against the Lions going. They haven't won in Lambeau since 1991.
- A loss pretty much knocks them to the sixth seed and will run into the buzz saw that is the New Orleans Saints on the road. That will increase their chances of being knocked out and not seeing us again until the 2012 regular season. A tough divisional opponent who is familiar with the team could be a dangerous first opponent for the Packers. I'm rooting for the Cowboys to win the NFC East because they'd be an easier out than the Giants imo. Same with the Falcons in a 4/5 matchup assuming New Orleans wins their Wild Card game and then goes on the road to SF in the divisional round.
Obviously, Detroit has more to play for than the Packers, but it's not like Green Bay is going to be able to rest every body. A lot of starters will still have to play most of the game and I do think Flynn is capable of making some plays to beat Detroit in the second half.
It won't be a deal breaker if Detroit wins, but if we can avoid them in the divisional round, all the better imo.
