The NFC playoffs are heating up as the Green Bay Packers secure the #7 seed. However, the identity of their first-round opponent remains uncertain.

Possible Wild Card Opponents for the Packers

The Packers could face either the Chicago Bears or the Philadelphia Eagles in the playoffs, contingent on the outcomes of their respective games. Here’s how the scenarios unfold:

  • If the Bears defeat the Detroit Lions, they will clinch the #2 seed and host the Packers.
  • If the Eagles lose to the Washington Commanders, Chicago also takes the #2 seed.
  • Should the Bears lose and the Eagles win, Green Bay will travel to Philadelphia.

Game Schedule and Player Status

All relevant games will occur in the late afternoon time slot, designed to keep competition levels high. The Packers, meanwhile, are set to play the Minnesota Vikings earlier in the day. This game holds no significance for Green Bay’s postseason prospects.

To manage their roster, the Packers plan to rest critical players, including quarterback Jordan Love. Clayton Tune is expected to start against the formidable defense led by Brian Flores.
