As there are at 5 teams ahead of us for the two wildcard spots
Due to the tie breaker, the Vikings are basically three games ahead of the Packers.
Redskins, Seahawks and Panthers are 1.5 (basically two) games ahead.
~ Yes the Redskins have their franchise QB injured, but all 5 of their remaining games are against opponents in the bottom 10 in points scored... so their defense can win them games.
~ Seahawks have 4 of their last 5 games at home... including the 49ers, Cardinals and 49ers again.
~ Panthers, have the Bucs, Browns and Falcons... plus two games against the Saints in the last 3 weeks... the Saints might rest their starters (especially week 17) if they got their spot locked up
And then their is the Eagles... which face a number of currently looking playoff teams left and Packers could pass them back.
But between the Vikings 3 game lead, Seahawks homegames/weak remaining schedule and the Panthers weak schedule other than Saints which might be resting their guys before they even play the first time, I don't see it being even at 1%.
