The Packers magic number for a 1st round bye is 2 (Saints, Cowboys).

The 2 wild card spots are up for grabs between the Bears, Falcons, and Lions. Bears have heads up win over Falcons and tiebreakers over Lions with better common games record (4-1 v 3-2) and better conference record. The Falcons have heads up win over the Lions.

The AFC keeps changing each week and isn't clear yet.

2 more wins or 2 more Saints losses, or combination thereof gets the Packers a first round bye to get healthy and rested for the playoffs.

The Lions have to hope the Bears have trouble without Cutler and can gain ground. They are are now facing the need for help as they attempt to catch the Falcons too.

Being undefeated would be a great historical situation and give us awesome bragging rights. But if we have to go on the road for a game in the playoffs, it really doesn't bother me. Long as it's in a dome!

Crazy that they have to go to 12-0 -- or get some help -- just to clinch a playoff spot.

The Packers' magic number for securing home-field advantage is 3: 3 wins or 3 San Francisco losses.

I have a strong feeling if we win at least 2 more games we clinch the NFC as the number 1 seed. I highly doubt the 49ers win out, I see them drop at least 2 games (Steelers & Arizona).

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

A comment from the interview with Aaron Rodgers that I found amusing:

Green Bay's lucky schedule. You won't believe this. This is simply improbable to say the least. The Packers have caught teams during their worst stretches of the season. This is astonishing:

(1) The Lions were once 5-0. By the time GB got to them, they were in the middle of a 2-4 stretch (and nearly 1-5, as they nearly lost to Carolina).

(2) The Giants were feared at 6-2, especially after handing the Patriots its first home loss in forever. But by the time GB gets to them, they will have been 0-3 in their last 3 games. The numbers don't lie: The second-half story is beyond ugly in the Coughlin era. New York is 47-17 in the first half of the season from 2004 on, but just 24-35 in the second half. Green Bay is fortunate to get the second half Giants.

(3) The Chargers were once solid at 4-1, but when the Packers got to them, they were in the middle of an 0-6 streak.

(4) Tampa Bay started the season 3-1 and 4-2, but by the time the Pack found them, they were in the middle of an 0-5 stretch.

(5) GreenBay beat the Broncos when the Broncos were in the middle of their Kyle Orton-led 1-4 start. Playing the Broncos at home, they did not have to deal with the altitude.

(6) Some people are impressed by the Packers win over the Saints in their homecoming game. The Saints are afterall an offensive juggernaut and 8-3 on the year. But did you know the Packers had the Saints in Lambeau and that the Saints are a very mediocre 3-3 on the road, including road losses to the hapless Rams and Bucs. The 3 road wins consist of 3-point squeakers over the Panthers and Falcons (Falcons in OT) and an unimpressive 23-10 win over the Jags. They are simply a different team on the road.

(7) The Bears were looking good at 7-3. But when the Pack faced them early in the season, the team was in the middle of an uninspired 2-3 run. The NEXT time the teams face off, the Bears will be sans their starting QB.

(8) Atlanta looks good now at 7-4 but did you know that when the Pack faced them they were 2-2 going on 2-3.

(9) When the Pack faced the Vikings this year, they did not have to face Brett Favre, nor did they have to face McNabb. Rookie QB Christian Ponder got his FIRST AND THIRD career starts against the Packers.

(10) Not only did Christian Ponder get his first and third carere starts against the Pack, but Kansas City will be juggling Tyler Palko and new-to-the-team Kyle Orton, remember him from week -- well, whichever week the Packers throttled him. Carson Palmer is a good QB, but he would have only been with his team for a few weeks by the time he faces Green Bay in Green Bay. And who knows who the Bears will have to throw at Green Bay when they next face the Pack?

Mucky Tundra (54m) : Stinks for Lloyd. Hoping he comes back strong for next year

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?

beast (30-Dec) : If Commanders win, the Packers drop to the 7th seed

beast (29-Dec) : Taylor still at it!
