Packers in the Playoffs???

[Heidenreich]

Straight from the NFL itself. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2674321

Green Bay can clinch a playoff berth with:

1. A win plus a NY Giants win + GB clinches strength of victory tiebreaker over NYG

Or

2. A win plus a NY Giants loss or tie plus a St. Louis loss or tie

Or

3. A win plus a NY Giants loss or tie plus a Carolina win

Or

4. A win plus a NY Giants loss or tie plus an Atlanta win

Or

5. A tie plus a NY Giants loss plus a St. Louis loss plus an Atlanta loss or tie plus a Carolina loss or tie

I was right The Packers do get in a three way tie (Which is why the scenarios about Carolina or Atlanta winning are there)

With Miami Losing last night, ALL of this must happen for the Packers to win the Strength of victory tiebreaker over the Giants.

Minnesota must beat St Louis

Detroit must beat Dallas

Arizona must beat San Diego

San Francisco must beat Denver

Miami must beat Indianapolis

Seattle must beat Tampa Bay

New Orleans must beat Carolina

Cleveland must beat Houston

GB Strength of victory = 54

NYG Strength of victory= 53

Detroit must beat Dallas

Arizona must beat San Diego

San Francisco must beat San Fran

pretty iffy regardin the first two and impossible for the third one.

On the plus side, by the time the Packers take the field, we'll know if they have a chance or not....

The Week 17 Green Bay Packers at Chicago Bears game on Sunday, Dec. 31, will now be played at 8:15 p.m. ET on NBC, making it the final game of the 2006 regular season.

This should be a good game.

The flex schedule idea earns more points here!

The Phily game should be another fun game to watch.
