The Vikings and the Packers are battling for playoff positioning this week. The Packers clinched a playoff berth last week and are currently the sixth-seed despite their 11-4 record. They play in the same division as the 13-2 Lions and Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers are one of the ten teams that has already locked up a spot, but their exact seed remains to be determined. Green Bay could earn the #5 seed if they win out — beating the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears down the stretch — and if the Vikings also lose to the Detroit Lions in week 18.
