A couple of pretty significant early games as they relate to the Packers playoff chances. Obviously, the Packers need to beat the Vikings or the season is a "fart in the wind". But here's the others:
Browns at 'skins - obviously the Packers need at least one Washington loss in their remaining two games. Depending on other games today, this may be the best shot at a Washington loss.
Colts at NY Giants - Giants would need to lose today and next week (Philly). The Giants just seem to find ways to win and will most likely win this one.
Saints at Eagles - assuming the Packers will beat the Vikings, I think this is the most important game today for the Packers chances to squeak in. Packers' fans should be rooting hard for the Saints. If Philly wins, they clinch the #1 overall seed. That means they have nothing to play for next week against the Giants (not ideal for GB if NYG loses today). It also means the Cowboys would be locked into the Wild Card spot, meaning they would have nothing to play for next week against the 'skins (not ideal for GB if Wash wins today).
