I think we want San Fran to win because they still have to travel to Seattle which will likely be a Seahawks win... So we'd want them to split

Also it looks like we'd prefer an Eagles win because Cowboys still have to travel to philly and hopefully philly sweeps them and hopefully bears + colts beat em!

All this talk about having to win in gb is ridic. You guys are assuming all these other teams win out. I would be willing to bet that if the Lions win out and then lose to GB we still make playoffs

I'm not saying it's not possible. But even if there is a tie we have 2 losses outside conference. So that benefits us.

I've been looking at everyone else's schedules as well

Your statement is assuming the lions win out.

I'm trying to put together some odds.

First, I'll be cheering for the Eagles vs the Seahawks...

Seahawks also have to face the cards @ cards

Cowboys are out of it in my mind since they have to travel to philly.......I wouldnt be surprised at all if they lose to bear this week.

Same with San fran--they lost at home to Seattle--most likely they will lose @ Seattle...

Seattle might pressure us for a wildcard should we fail to win @ greenbay--but they will need to win some tough matchups

Also our away game vs the Bears will be far from a walk in the park--I'm guessing that game is a coin flip

Based on my odds for packers @ bills

I have there's only a 36 % chance packers win both games

Those odds jump to 60% if they beat the patriots...

I have the lions with a 30% chance of winning all of their next 3 games

I think my odds were
4:1 vs bucs
3:1 vs vikings
And 1.5:1 @ bears

IF the offense shows up in the next two games, they're easy wins. @Chicago is always a challenge but winnable being that this coach is losing confidence in himself and basically all of Chicago is calling for his head.

@Greenbay, if Aaron Rodgers is healthy I'm not even considering this a winnable game.. we just aren't a outdoor team.

I just hope we don't have to travel to Greenbay during the playoffs unless it's for the NFC Championship Game at that point I don't think Calvin Johnson will let us lose. I seriously think the he'll set every game-record a receiver can set during that game. Replay the Saints playoff game, he was a god among men.

I think @ Greenbay is very winnable. Our defense is made for that type of game. They ought to be 2.5:1 favorites...

I agree with you on Calvin in the playoffs. I'd prefer us to win out and win the division and get a first round bye with some home field advantage though! :)
