With he Packers winning and the Seahawks losing on Thanksgiving, the Packers are now one game behind the Seahawks and Vikings for the last two NFC playoffs spots.

Technically, the Vikings have a tie breakers over the Packers, but if the Packers can beat the Vikings then that's tied up.

Remaining Schedules

Packers
Chiefs (Week 13)
@ Giants
Buccaneers
@ Panthers
@ Vikings
Bears

Vikings
Bears (Week 12)
Bye week
@ Raiders
@ Bengals
Lions
Packers
@ Lions

Seahawks
@ Cowboys (week 13)
@ 49ers
Eagles
@ Titans
Steelers
@ Cardinals

I think that tough Seahawks schedule is going to give the Packers a chance, but they have to remain hot, but I certainly think it's possible the NFC North (possible with the help of a weaker schedule) might be able to get 3 teams to the playoffs.

But can the Packers remain consistently good/hot? Or did they just catch the Lions with some different things?

Also ESPN's playoff "machine" is out and if you click projections based on winning percentages, it has the #2 seed Lions hosting the #7 seed Packers, with #6 seed Vikings going to #3 seed 49ers.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/playoffs/machine

That being said, that has the 49ers losing to the Eagles, and tying the Ravens. While the Lions tie the Cowboys. So a lot depends on those games.

Also, the previously showed Vikings games against the Packers and Lions and how those come out.

My predictions
1) Eagles
2) 49ers
3) Lions
4) Saints?
5) Cowboys
6) Vikings
7) Packers

But if the Packers beat the Vikings, they might be able to get the #6 seed. But I'm thinking they mess up somewhere along the way and they're battling the Seahawks for the 7th seed.

1) Eagles bye week
2) 49ers beat whomever the 7th seed is
3) Lions in a divisional rivalry playoff game could be interesting, could be Packers or Vikings.
4) Cowboys whomever the 4th seed is

Next round depends on if Lions win or lose. But I'm thinking we see Eagles and 49ers rematch in the NFC Championship game. 49ers DL vs Eagles OL. Great matchup. And 49ers might have a healthy QB this time.

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
