The playoff picture for the Green Bay Packers in Week 18 couldn’t be more clear. Win and you’re in. After winning four straight games, the Packers have complete control of their playoff destiny. The most recent came against the Minnesota Vikings, avenging a 23-7 loss back in Week 1. On Sunday, the Packers have a chance to have redemption part two this season against the Detroit Lions.
Given the way the divisional format is created in the NFL, opportunities for redemption in these revenge games have the possibility of happening any season. These opportunities have an even higher chance of being carried out with the majority of head-to-head games being spread out throughout the season.
