Chicago's big lead in the NFC North has the Packers and Vikings scrambling for wins in the final six weeks of the season, and for the losing team on Sunday night, the road to the postseason becomes very difficult.
For the Packers, despite a softer closing schedule, a loss would be nearly enough to keep Green Bay out of the playoffs for a second straight year as the Packers would drop to 4-6-1. Minnesota, currently holding the #6 spot in the NFC, could give themselves a big lead over Green Bay for the final playoff spot with just five games to play, but a loss puts them far down the pecking order.
