Packers Need Help to Clinch a Playoff Spot This Week
The Packers can't clinch the division, a bye in the playoffs or home-field advantage, but they can lock up a spot in the playoffs this week.
The Green Bay Packers can't clinch the NFC North division, a bye in the playoffs or home-field advantage this week, but they can lock up a guaranteed spot in the playoffs in several specific scenarios.
Released by the NFL on Tuesday, the Packers can clinch a spot in the playoffs if any of five different scenarios come to fruition in Week 16:
- Packers win + Eagles loss or tie OR
- Packers win + Cowboys win or tie OR
- Packers tie + Eagles loss OR
- Packers tie + Eagles tie + Cowboys win or tie OR
- Eagles loss + Cowboys win or tie
Anything more than cinching a mere playoff spot will have to wait until Week 17.
The Packers play at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

I don't think the Cowboys beat the Colts without DeMarco Murray.

I think an Eagles win over Washington is likely. Cowboys will have trouble with Indy, so I doubt do we clinch a spot this week. Just gotta keep winning. I bet there haven't been many 11-4 teams that hadn't clinched by the last game of the season.

Easiest path to and thru the playoffs. Win the next 2 games. Win the next 2 games and get a bye and home field advantage over all but 1 team.
