It's super unlikely I know. But what if the Lions stumble enough that the Packers win the division? Imagine how disparaged Bears, Lions and Vikings fan will be lol. They finally think their time is NOW and then we get division with youngest team AND first year starting QB lol

It's not out of the question thanks to Detroit losing to the Bears (who are playing better). Lions still have a stretch of Denver, Minnesota X2 and Dallas. That could very easily be 2 or 3 losses. GBs schedule is easiest on paper but I don't think they'll win out, probably drop a game that on paper they have a good chance of winning (Tampa would be my guess). Minnesota might have the "best" path on paper with 3 division games remaining but their offense is a complete mess at the moment thanks to injuries and their oline.

That said, I'd be lying if I haven't been thinking of GB swooping in at the last minute to steal the divison on what what supposed to be a down year and driving the other teams fans into a frenzy. It would be even worse for Detroit since it was probably the best year for them to do so and was supposed to be a break from their years of being in the cellar.

I think Lions, Vikings and Packers fans are all thinking about the division could be there right now lol

If Lions win 4 of their last 5, then they win the division.

If Vikings win all 5 of their last games, they win their division (as they play the Lions twice)

If Packers win all 6 of their last games (because they still have to play the Giants tonight) and Lions lose two, then they win the division.

Before the Giants game is played, on paper, Packers (after Eagles) have the 2nd easiest schedule left. While Vikings have the 2nd hardest schedule left. Lions 5th hardest left.

But if the Cowboys beat the Lions and the Vikings and Lions split their games, then an undefeated Packers down the stretch could take it.

All that being said, I wouldn't be surprised if Lions win 4 of their last 5 and/or Packers trip up somewhere (not Giants or Panthers).

What I've sorta been hoping for
7th seed Vikings lost to 2nd seed.

6th seed Packers go to 3rd seed NFC North Champions Lions and upset them.

So Lions get the Crown (their fans deserve something) but also get beaten showing the division still goes through the Packers.

Of course, I don't see any of these teams beating the 49ers right now.

I still remember the "you get to see how it feels now having a franchise QB now!" kinda comments.

I guess I just kinda laugh a bit. They think the three decade run is over and it might actually just keep going. It has to be demoralizing to them. And yeah, I take joy in that and yeah I know that means I'm cruel. 🤷 I'm good with it lol.

Sure is good to be a Green Bay Packers fan!!

I kid I kid!

Though it should be noted that Adrian Peterson only played on the Lions for a year, not a decade.
