Not to mention that have a pretty darn good rushing attack to rely on. Or at worse, better than ours. Also, Sproles can't seem to be stopped in the passing game. Our LBs sure as hell can't cover him.

Personally I think the big problem for the Packers with NO is going to be Graham. They haven't stopped a good TE all year, if I recall.

With our porous D, getting HFA is pretty key imo to have a good chance to repeat. Right now, the Packers are going to be sitting home a lot. Outside of a short flight to KC, there's a pretty good chance every other game the rest of the way will be in Lambeau until the SB.

SF and NO will probably matchup in the divisional round and they will knock each other around a bit. Packers will need to worry about the winner of the 4/5 game and could draw a tough opponent in the Giants again if they win the NFC East.

Getting NO in Green Bay is huge because the Saints aren't exactly a warm weather team. They didn't necessarily fair well in 2006 when they went to Chicago for the NFC Championship Game when a lot of people picked them to beat the Bears that season. Green Bay will be well adjusted to playing in the cold the next several weeks and that bodes well for their chances going forward.

The Packers have clinched the #3 playoff spot.
The 49'ers have clinched the #4 playoff spot.
Although close, the Saints have not yet clinched a playoff spot.
One more Packers win or one more Saints loss and the Packers clinch a first round bye (#2 playoff spot).

Currently
Packers 12-0, Conference 10-0, Strength of Victory .426, Strength of Schedule .426
49'ers 10-2, Conference 8-1, Strength of Victory .400, Strength of Schedule .444
The Packers and 49'ers have 3 common games and both are 3-0 so common games will not be a tiebreaker.

Saints 9-3, Conference 6-3, Packers have head to head tiebreaker, SOV .438, SOS .453
In common games with the Packers the Saints lost to the Rams and are .500 with the Buccaneers. The Packers win that tiebreaker.

Be interesting to see how the playoffs work out ... I do agree the saints will be tougher to beat and am hoping the niners and saints go head to head be for a good game.

Cant believe last game - was a close one. Giants D sure was tough ... made our front 7 look a bit porous.

I think the Saints very well could beat the Packers... but they'll have to get through the 49ers on the road first. And I think the 49ers are very under rated but the match-ups just don't favor them... at least not if Clifton get back 100% ... with Newhouse he might have some trouble but the Packers still have been able to adjust for that.

As for the rest of the season games I think the question is will the Packers be going 100% against the Bears and Lions? If not then they could lose...

Also the match-up favor the Lions as long as they have everyone... the Packers didn't do so well until Suh got kicked out...

NFL.com says the Texans currently are the #2 seed for some reason... but I'm not sure why... I think CaliforniaCheez did it right from what I understood.

Also I think I read the Steelers are leading now... but that's just because they won on Thursday and the other have yet to play this week.
