It could have been us, if not for any number of mistakes. The Green Bay Packers could well have been playing in today’s NFC Championship Game, making a short trip to Ford Field where they won on Thanksgiving Day. Instead, the Packers fell short last Saturday as the San Francisco 49ers (-7.5)
came back to win and earn the right to host today’s game against the Detroit Lions (+7.5).
When those two teams kick off, they will know which team will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.
