The Packers (9-5-1), at a minimum, are guaranteed a wild card berth. They are still alive in the NFC North title chase, though they need some help. First, the Packers must win their final two games against the Baltimore Ravens and Vikings. The Chicago Bears (11-4), who lead the division, must lose their final two games against the San Francisco 49ers and Lions.
