Since the Packers and Vikings are tied at 6-2 (and Vikings seem to have won whatever tie breaker NFL.com's standing is using), among some saying/suggesting to watch our backs for the Vikings... I've decided to look into the rest of the season of the two schedule wise.

First off, the team that doesn't win the division could very well be a wild card as of right now (half way through the season) they've got the 2nd and 5th seeds (if the playoff were to happen tomorrow)... and the last time the Packers were a wild card, they carried a chip on their shoulder into the playoffs and ended up winning the Super Bowl (not to say that would happen again)... but really the main goal of the regular season is to get into the playoffs and both of these teams seem to be well on their way.

But first off, they got two games left against each other (like most of the top division rivals seem to, which the NFL attempted to do on purpose). And both the Packers and Vikings are 4-0 at home and 2-2 on the road and 6-2 overall. So say they split those games.

Both teams also have home game against the Bears (1-2*) and road games against the Cardinals (3-1) and Raiders (2-2).
*= Bears road game record before the Chargers game. Other numbers are the Cardinals and Raiders home record so far.

The big difference in the Packers/Vikings remaining schedule are the three other games.

Packers have
~ Lions (0-4 on the road)
~ @ Lions (1-3 at home)
~ Cowboys (1-2 on the road... but I think they'll have Romo back by then)

Vikings
~ @ Falcons (3-1 at home, but they're going on a bit of a losing streak)
~ Seahawks (2-3 on the road, and they like the Packers are undefeated against teams that have more than one loss before the game starts... Rams/Packers/Bengals were all undefeated going into their games with the Seahawks)
~ Giants (2-3) on the road.


As of right now Packers have four games, out of eight, against teams that are 0.500 or better overall (including 3 of the last 3 to maybe get the Packers better prepared going into the playoffs)... and the Vikings have seven out of eight games left with teams over .500 overall. It gets a little better for the Vikings when you look at where they play, as the Seahawks and Giants aren't currently 0.500 on the road. But most of the Giants road losses came within 3 points, so they might be tougher on the road than their road record suggest.


So looks like the Packers have the easier schedule left... of course getting past the Cardinals, Raiders and Cowboys might be harder said than done... and hopefully the Packers still have Cuter's and Stafford's number.

Yup.....another division title, and then early exit in the playoffs.
Getting to be a broken record.
Don't get me wrong, I like seeing "my" team win, but it doesn't mean alot when you can't get it done against good teams. You only can beat up on the lower guys.
I see the Packers as the best of the mediocre.

I think the Vikings will win 9 or 10 games and I still think the Packers can win 11 or 12. It'll be enough for the division and we'll get to witness another one and done wild card weekend! Yay!!! [whead]

But hey, Coach doesn't think anything is broken and says all of the goals they want to achieve are still available!!!! 🤬

    Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.
    beast (21-Dec) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs
    packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.
    beast (21-Dec) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating
    Zero2Cool (20-Dec) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

    beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

    Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed
    Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)
    Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird
    Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."
    Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.
    Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"
    Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.
    Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”
    packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB
    Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him
    beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie
    Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b
    Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with
    packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie
    beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.
    Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst
    Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck
    beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now
    beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me
    Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.
    Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell
    packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies
    Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol
    Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?
    beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!
