Several weeks ago, it appeared a near-certainty that the NFL would flex this game out of Sunday Night Football, but lo and behold, here we are with two weeks left and massive playoff implications on the line for both teams. If Green Bay loses, they are, for all intents and purposes, eliminated from the playoffs, as they would have just a 2% chance of making it. If the Green Bay Packers win against Minnesota and Chicago, they’ll have a near-lock at 94%. Minnesota sits in a similar position, with a loss leaving them at just 3%, and a win against Green Bay making it a true 50/50 toss-up, per the New York Times playoff simulator.
Packers @ Vikings, by the numbers
