After week 18 we have figured out every playoff spot except for one. In this matchup, the Detroit Lions will take on the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field to decide the 7 seed. If the Seahawks win their matchup earlier today, the Lions will be eliminated and it will be the Packers or the Seahawks and make the playoffs. If they don’t, the winner of this game will go to the playoffs as the 7 seed to take on the 49ers. So now, let me get to my analysis and who I think will win the final regular season game of the season!
Lions (8-8) @Packers (8-8) -5.0 GB SUN 8:20 PM ET
Lions:
The Detroit Lions look to perform One of the biggest in season turnaround in NFL history. They started out the season 2-6, But then got a win in Chicago, and it all started going uphill for them. If the Seattle Seahawks win earlier against the Los Angeles Rams, The Lions will have nothing to play for, as they would’ve been eliminated from the playoffs. If they do lose, then the Lions would be fighting for the seven seed, and the opportunity to play against the 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Packers:
The Green Bay Packers have a simple path to the playoffs, win and you're in. As we have learned in the last decade, Aaron Rodgers is one of the best players in the playoffs, and nobody will want to face the Packers. Christian Watson has been playing amazing for the Packers as of late and I expect the rookie to go off in this game. We will see if they can get that done, and if they can get a victory next week against the 49ers if they make it there.
Game Pick:
DET 30 GB 24
