Huge week ladies and gentlemen. Win and in baby. From there anything can happen.
Fun fact: MLF is 12-0 as a HC when the Packers run the ball at least 50% of the time.

We are supposed to find out sometime today what time the game will be.
Packerland will be very happy if LaFleur hits the "13 win" mark for the fourth consecutive season.

Watching/listening to Cowherd?

The perk for that if your GB is that the Lions will be eliminated from playoff contention before kickoff if the Seahawks beat the Rams.
That knuckleheaded coach of theirs will just use that to fire up his troops. The chance to ruin the day for their biggest rival is a powerful motivator. GB is in for a fight.
A crushing I tell ya, I want a crushing…….am a tad nervous of this game. Detroit looked pretty good yesterday.
Detroit was playing the Bears. The Bears were playing for a high draft pick.
Lions o-line is much better than the Vikes & they haven't turned the ball over much at all in the last 2 months ... we are going to have to play better in the Red Zone to win this
Lions averaging over 33 at home and just over 19 on the road. Venue is a huge advantage for the Packers.
Key to me is pressure on Goff, dial up some blitzed from Walker and Savage. Keep Jaire on St. Brown.
Barry may have to blitz, I don't see us pushing the middle of the pocket that effectively vs. their o-line. Forecast right now calls for a high of 27 and a low of 20 with little wind.
Little wind? That’s too bad. Goff’s pop gun arm would be at a huge disadvantage in the wind.

The good news is…the weather accuracy 7 days out is about as accurate as most of you peoples (TM) “season over” proclamations.

I think the Philly/NY Giants game is the Sunday night game. The NFL will assume the Cowboys beat the 'skins, and that sets up a very meaningful game in two big markets.
If I had to guess, I'd say the other "nationally televised" games would be:
Early Game - Packers/Lions & Pats/Bills
Late Game - Pokes/'skins and Bengals/Ravens

If the Packers aren't flexed to SNF, I would guess they'd play the late game so that the Seattle game would take place simultaneously. IF GB wins the early game, then the Seattle game would be meaningless.

The Philly game will determine the #1 seed in the NFC (assuming BOTH Dallas and San Fran don't lose). I think the NFL and Networks care more about that than whether or not a crappy Seattle/LA Rams game is meaningless or not.
And the markets in Philly, NY, Dallas, and San Fran are much more significant than the markets in GB, Detroit, Seattle and LA, especially with LA having no stake in anything.

And lost to the Panthers the week before.
Well… More than half the people in LA are transplants so fans here root for teams from back home. That’s why Rams/Chargers games have so many “away” team fans But yes LA fans are fickle, local teams don’t get much love unless they are champions. Lots of competition for entertainment $ in SoCal.

I think the Sunday night game will be Jags/Titans. The 1st actual head to head playoff game as winner is in and loser goes home. Pack/lions and Seahawks/Rams will both be 3:25 games.

I'm gonna go with "this will never happen" since the Titans/Jags is already scheduled for Saturday night. 
I did not know that. I thought the whole week 18 would be released at once.
First of all it's the LOINS ! Let's get that straight.
Loins are built better than the Queenies but are still a dome team and will struggle on the grass except for Jaamal. Packers 30-20

The SNF flex is always a win and in, not a seeding already clinched game. It’ll be Packers/Lions or Bills/Patriots.
So likely Bills/Patriots because of Seahawks.
I have been perusing a few Lions forums late last night and today. I did not realize we are their biggest rival. Who Knew? I know we are the Bears and Vikings biggest rival. I get the hate for those franchises but the Lions have been every teams bitch the past 30 years. It's like "oh yea' that team. Fly away knat.
Just announced we play Sunday night https://www.packers.com/news/p...ght-at-lambeau-field
As I was saying.... GB officially flexed to SNF.
SWEET!! Was worried I might not get to see the game locally.

The NFL is not a regional sport. Nationally the Packers are a better draw than all those teams except Dallas.
