During the off season I had us 7 - 5 and going 3 - 1 in these last four games. I still say the best we do is 3 - 1 through these last four games. Obviously, that just won't be enough.

During the offseason, that game at Jacksonville looked a lot tougher than it does now. I really don't see the Viking going 3-1 over that 4 game span. If we win out, I think we'll get in.

4-0 is doable but not likely. We've already crushed two of those teams and the other two just aren't very good but we've been way too inconsistent this year to win out in my opinion. Then again how many of us thought the Pack would win their last 4 two years ago to finish 8-8? If only we can get another turnaround like that.

I don't understand the "not a chance" thing. If we win out (meaning we beat the Bears week 16) and Minnesota goes 2-2, don't we win the division? We're 1-1 heads up against Minnesota, and we'd have a better division.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I mean, it's certainly not likely, but it COULD happen. Thus ... why the "not a chance"?

Zero-

I like your math, but see a couple of problems with your scenario:

1) Having lost 4 out of their last 5, they haven't showed me anything to make me think they can win 4 straight

2) Minn could easily go 3-1 over those last 4, taking either the game at Arizona or the Atlanta game at home (or both, and losing the game to NY)

I'm not sure if I get it or not, but if we are tied with the Vikings at 9-7 and we have a better division record . . then wouldn't we have the tie breaker??

NFCN champ, whomever it be, will get their ticket punched for a first round playoff exit.

Why? First off, the North winner will have a home game regardless of record. Second, the wild card teams (Carolina/TB/Dallas/Washington/Atalanta) aren't significantly better than Minnesota or GB.

In fact, if Arizona is the third seed, I bet the wild card team would prefer to be the 6th seed rather than the 5th. Traveling to Arizona seems more desirable than playing in the Metrodome or Lambeau in January.

Mucky Tundra (now) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (5m) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (13m) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (43m) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (52m) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (52m) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (57m) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (59m) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (1h) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (1h) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (1h) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (1h) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol

Mucky Tundra (1h) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : God help me but I'm rooting for the Vikings to...Vikings to...Christ I can't say it

Zero2Cool (2h) : 4 td for Rodgers

Mucky Tundra (3h) : "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."

Zero2Cool (4h) : Owner ... love it

Zero2Cool (4h) : Mayo was the guy they groomed for HC and one of the reasons they let Bill go.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Pats have the #4 pick, lots of cap space and Maye at QB; should fetch some attention

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Well that didn't take long; Jerod Mayo out as Patriots HC

Zero2Cool (5h) : I would expect it to be higher in favor of Eagles

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Thst line seems...generous

Zero2Cool (5h) : Eagles -3.5 over Packers in Wildcard Round

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Did it though? Pokes beat the Commanders on the road with Cooper Rush previously

Zero2Cool (12h) : That gives them their best chance

Mucky Tundra (5-Jan) : Cowboys starting Trey Lance at QB vs Commanders; GB vs Philly in the Wild Card incoming!

Mucky Tundra (4-Jan) : 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

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.
