GREEN BAY, WI — Coming into the final week of the 2019 NFL season, the Green Bay Packers have three potential playoff scenarios before them. If the Packers defeat the Lions, they will earn a first-round bye regardless of what happens elsewhere.

If Green Bay wants the number one seed in the NFC, they'll need to be temporary fans of the Seattle Seahawks. If the Seahawks defeat the San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay would clinch home field throughout the playoffs. The 49ers are favored to win that game, which will be played Sunday night in Seattle.
