It is all there in front of the Green Bay Packers as they prepare for their Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears. A win over the improving Bears, and they will earn a spot in the NFC playoffs as the No. 6 or 7 seed.
The Packers appeared to be down and out after a pair of losses to the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Weeks 14 and 15, but they responded with victories over the Carolina Panthers and Minnesota Vikings.
The win over the Panthers was not much to build on since it was merely a 33-30 triumph over the worst team in the league.
