and Detroit Lions (+5) finally take the field on Sunday Night Football, both teams will know whether the Lions actually have anything to play for. The Packers are in the postseason with a win; Detroit needs to get some help, however, in the form of a loss by the Seattle Seahawks (-5.5), in order to make the playoffs as the NFC’s #7 seed.
That game kicks off at 3:25 PM Central Time and should conclude around an hour before kickoff at Lambeau Field. Once it finishes, it will finalize just what kind of narrative will swirl around Packers-Lions — will both teams be fighting to play another game in a week, or will the Lions simply be trying to play spoiler against their NFC North rivals?
