How likely are Packers to still make the playoffs in 2022?

After losing three games in a row, how likely are the Green Bay Packers to make the playoffs?

Seven weeks in, the Green Bay Packers have lost as many games as they did all of last season.

With a road game against a dominant Buffalo Bills team to come next, there’s every chance the Packers hit five losses for the first time under head coach Matt LaFleur, and in just Week 8, too.

Despite their recent struggles, the Packers are still alive in the NFC race.

But how likely are they to still make the postseason?

What chance do Packers have of making the playoffs?

According to FiveThirtyEight’s recent projections, the Packers only have a 24 percent chance of making the playoffs. They are given just an eight percent chance of winning the NFC North.

It tells the story of how far this team has fallen in a short space of time.

Green Bay has won the NFC North three years in a row but now finds itself 2.5 games back on the Minnesota Vikings, having already lost to them in Week 1.

The Vikings can pull even further clear in the division with a victory over the Arizona Cardinals at U.S. Bank Stadium this week. Green Bay faces the daunting task of taking on Buffalo on Sunday Night Football.

The Packers have earned a first-round bye in each of the past three seasons under Matt LaFleur.

In 2019, they were the No. 2 seed. At the time, two teams received a first-round bye. The past two seasons, Green Bay has secured the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage.

What chances do the Packers have of earning the top seed again this year? FiveThirtyEight is giving them a 0.1 percent chance.

Considering the Philadelphia Eagles are 6-0 and the Vikings are 5-1, it’s understandable that Green Bay is given such a low percentage of earning a first-round bye.

For now, it will take serious improvements just to earn a wild-card berth.
