The Green Bay Packers have punched their ticket to the postseason with a Monday Night Football win over the New Orleans Saints. Now what? Obsessing over seeding scenarios!
For the purposes of this exercise, we’ll focus on the games that the Packers, Minnesota Vikings and Washington Commanders — the teams currently slated to play in the wildcard round — will be playing in the final two weeks of the season. Yes, there’s a chance that the Detroit Lions can drop down to a wildcard spot, but the lowest seed they can drop to in the postseason is the fifth seed — ahead of the Packers, who could finish no higher than the sixth seed in that scenario.
