Last season, the Green Bay Packers were a wild card team and nearly pulled off a divisional round win over the 49ers in San Francisco that would have put Jordan Love and company in an NFC title showdown with the Detroit Lions. This season, after a pair of losses to the Super Bowl favorite Lions, as well as the Vikings and Eagles, Green Bay finds itself in a familiar situation: looking for a wild card spot and a chance to make some noise in the NFC. in January. . While the Packers have already reached 10 wins, playing in the best division in the NFL has not been entirely kind, with losses to those heavyweights, but the fact is that Green Bay is undefeated against the rest of the NFL.
That could spell bad news for the Saints, who, after a strong start to the year (remember when this team was averaging nearly 50 points per game after two weeks?), have come back down to earth with a thud. Head coach Dennis Allen was fired last month, and with interim boss Darren Rizzi pulling the levers, New Orleans has its sights set on next season. With aging starters at key positions and uncertainty about the future, getting some momentum heading into the offseason will be important for the players who will be around for the new regime next season.
The Packers can clinch a playoff spot with a win, while the Saints will look to play spoilsport in the ‘Frozen Tundra’ with Snow shower possible Monday afternoon in Green Bay.
