Packers: Three biggest games remaining on the schedule

1. at Minnesota Vikings, Week 16

Earning a first-round bye would be huge for the Packers, but the most important task is to win the division. The Week 16 game at U.S. Bank Stadium could be the difference between hosting a playoff game or having to go on the road throughout the postseason. There’s every chance the Packers-Vikings showdown in the penultimate game of the year will decide the NFC North title.

And that isn’t good news for Green Bay. Minnesota is 4-0 at home this season and one of only two teams in the NFL to be undefeated in its own stadium in 2019, along with the New England Patriots.

To make matters worse, the Packers have struggled in the Vikings’ new home, losing on all three visits to U.S. Bank Stadium. That recent history won’t make a difference when this game gets underway, but it highlights how difficult it is to win on the road against the Vikings.

The Packers will hope they already have the division title secured by Week 16, but with the way the Vikings are playing, that shouldn’t be the expectation.

This will be an exciting game between two rivals. The Packers and Vikings have dominated the NFC North for a long time and this game could decide which team adds another division title to the record books.
