Supposedly NFL coaches don't look at it this way, but who would you rather face in the wildcard round?
Eagles, Rams or Buccaneers?
To get Buccaneers, Vikings would have to lost their last two games, so it's unlikely.
Eagles or Rams?
But if the Packers beat the Saints and Vikings, I think they have to make sure they beat the Bears, trying to get the 5th seed.
If Packers go 1-1, then I think they have to try to beat the Bears, unless they want to lock in playing against the Eagles, as Mike McCarthy and the Cowboys try to upset the Commanders and help the Packers out.
If Packers go 0-2, then I don't think the Bears game matters other than pride.
