I fully expect the Packers finish the regular season with the #1 seed in the NFC. With that seed comes a bye in the first round of the playoffs. Additionally, it also means that whatever lowest seed team survives the wildcard round, they will have to travel to Green Bay to play the Packers. Think about it, should the Washington Football Team make it to the Divisional round, the Packers will be rested and waiting play them. They could get the 7th seed team that now looks to be the Arizona Cardinals. Having the #! seed also ensures that whoever you play will have already been through a life/death war already in the playoffs. Also any opposing team may have suffered injuries at critical starting positions.

Last, but not the least, GB would enjoy the Home Field "advantage" (even without fans in the stands) throughout the playoffs. GB could host the NFC Championship game !

The Packers know the value of the #1 seed and will put forth a superior effort to STOMP THE TITANS and lock up the top seed.

In a vacuum, I think you play the starters for a bit to keep them fresh, once the game is in hand or out of hand, then pull the starters and play the game out.

However, locker rooms do not exist in a vacuum and Aaron Charles Rodgers is not a guy that would be chill sitting the game out. As a coach, I would sit with some of the team leaders or the entire team if possible and query them on the best course of action for the team. Teams feed off different things and it is important to keep them engaged.. so weigh their collective response and move in that direction within reason.

Hypothetically???? Hypothetically if we clinch in week 16....seriously? We are far more likely to get decimated.....Sorry, it is hard for me to address such a hypothetical....I deal in reality.

For the edification of the readers, let me illustrate the difference between hypothetical and real.

A young man asks his father, “dad what’s the difference between hypothetical and real”.

The father says to his son “go ask your sister if hypothetically she would sleep with a man she was not married to for $1 million”

So the young man runs off and asks his sister, “Sis hypothetically speaking, would you sleep with a man who is not your husband for $1 million.”

The sister replies “well, if I loved him, if we were engaged, and he loved me, and he wore protection, and the family needed the money, I suppose, hypothetically speaking, I would.”

The young man reports the answer back to his father.

Father says, “go ask your mother the same question.”

So the young man ask his mother, “mom, hypothetically speaking would you sleep with a man other than dad?

So the mother asks, did your dad tell you to ask me to ask this question”

The kid says “yes”.

So the mother carefully ponders her answer and says “hypothetically speaking, if your dad had passed on, and the family needed the money, and I loved the man, and he loved me, and he wore protection, then hypothetically speaking, I suppose i might”

The young man returns to the father and give him the answer.

The father says, “there you have it….son that’s the difference between hypothetical and real “.

The son says “dad, I still don’t get it.”

The father replies, “well son....hypothetically we're millionaires, but really…we're living with a couple of whores.”

Depends on whether The Bears need to win to make the playoffs.

Go back to 2010 season, Packers needed a win Aaron Rodgers Chicago week 17 to grab the #6 seed.
The Bears starters played, the whole game, hoping to keep The Packers out.

3 weeks later, The Packers weee on their way to The Superbowl after eliminating The Bears.

As I said earlier, The Packers are probably going to need a win over The Bears to keep the #1 seed.
Beat The Bears , keep them out!!!!

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!
beast (29-Dec) : Colts get the ball and fumble turn over
packerfanoutwest (29-Dec) : Jets pull Aaron Rodgers for Tyrod Taylor
