Wanted to say that. Didn't want to piss people off.
Probably not too far off & worst case scenario too. If you're not making the playoffs, just lose every game to improve draft position.

Especially when New Orleans first round pick will probably be #31, or so.

That's true but CHI seems more capable of getting there. They're still young with a lot of new pieces on both sides of the ball and coaches. Once everyone gets on the same page, they might have something there. MIN seems to have peaked.
Minnesota peaked with Case Keenum at QB! GM Spielman is beginning to realize it, too.
For those still keeping track, we want:
Panthers over Seahawks; Giants over Eagles.
There is only 1 game today that will have a significant impact on the Pack's (slim) playoff chances: Shit Chickens at Carolina.
If the Panthers win, they will have 7 wins on the season with games against the Browns and the Bucs in the next 3 weeks. So likely 9 wins. Their remaining game vs the Falcons will be the key for them, and possibly us.
The Chickens have 2 tough games remaining (Vikes and KC), 2 games vs SF, and 1 vs AZ, and with a win today, should also finish at 9-7.
Either way, if we can run the table, this will all be moot. If we lose 1 of our any remaining games, we could finish at 9-6-1, but it removes any margin for error.
So, it may be best for Seattle to win today.

No, Seattle losing today gives us better odds if we lose any game except Minnesota. Panthers are a lock for the WC1 and we lose nothing by them winning. We need teams to get to 7 losses.
If you really want to pipe dream it, you win the division by winning out, with the Bears picking up 2 additional losses to @Rams and @Vikings.
When the Packers look this bad.....I don’t want to be humiliated in the playoffs.....just win baby and let the teams fall where they may. 
Right now I'm not thinking playoffs. I'm just hoping we can beat the Vikings -- or at least not get embarrassed. I don't know what to expect from this team right now. I don't know what to expect from Rodgers right now. Unfortunately, I know what to expect from MM, and so does the other team...
