Packers: Three teams to root for in Week 15 in push for number one seed

Three teams for Packers fans to root for in Week 15.

With the NFC North championship and home playoff game already secured, the Green Bay Packers are in a great position entering the final three weeks of the regular season.

They currently lead the NFC and their path to the conference’s top seed is now clear. By winning all three of their final games, it won’t matter what happens elsewhere around the league, the Packers would be the top seed with a first-round bye.

However, that assumes the Packers run the table from this position. Far from an easy task.

Green Bay does get the benefit of playing on Saturday night, a chance to build on its lead before the other teams even kick off. But even with a win this week, the Packers can still get some help elsewhere to make their path to the top seed an easier one.

It’s possible the team could slip up at some point in the next few weeks. If so, it would be great if the other teams in the race for the first seed also lose.

With a win this week, along with a few other games going in the Packers’ favor, Matt LaFleur’s team can take a giant step to the top seed. Here are three teams to root for in Week 15.
