Predictions on the rest of the season:

The Packers have eight games to go including five against divisional foes. They also have another back to back West Coast road trip that they will encounter against the much improved Oakland Raiders and The Arizona Cardinals.

It could be that the January 3rd game at Lambeau against the Vikings decides who wins the NFC North title and perhaps the Cardinals vs. Seahawks matchup that day decides the NFC West and determines which team finishes with the 2nd best record in the NFC and gets the coveted BYE.

If the Packers get to 12-4, they will earn the BYE.
