The Green Bay Packers, one of the most outstanding teams in the NFC North, is in a strong fight to be the last NFC team to earn a wild card to the NFL playoffs.

The Packers have a big fight over the regular season in the shadow of the Chicago Bears a team that with 11 wins and 4 defeats so far became the division leader. After the sixteenth week, Green Bay recorded nine wins and six losses.

After Green Bay defeated Miami and Washington and, who is recovering with four consecutive wins. For the 12th week the Packers failed to beat the current leaders of the NFC South, the Atlanta Falcons.

They first carried out a terrible match that and were defeated by Detroit Lions 3-7, then suffered against the New England Patriots with a score of 31-27.

For the sixteenth week of the NFL regular season, Green Bay takes its opportunity to advance to the playoffs. On this occasion the Giants had to face the NY Giants, the other National Conference team that strives for a spot in the postseason. Both the Giants and the Packers have a record of nine wins and six losses so far into the season.

Although Green Bay beat the Giants 45-17 at the last meeting, the Packers are in a slightly more complicated situation in regards to their chances to qualify into the playoffs. This is because the next rival of Green Bay is Chicago, the division champions.

A victory over Chicago would immediately give the wild card to the Packs. This can be a difficult match, because the Bears are a powerful team that before their last meeting, which the lost 14-17 to New Orleans, completed a run of seven consecutive wins.

The Green Bay Packers are going to have to work out a good offensive scheme if they hope to defeat the Chicago Bears. Even though there is a good chance that Aaron Rodgers, the packers starting quarterback who suffered a concussion during the last meeting could make a full comeback. Although his exams showed no injury, Rodgers participation for upcoming games is not completely guaranteed.

Against the Giants, Rodgers made one of his best games of the season, recording 404 rushing yards, threw 37 passes, completing 25 for four touchdowns and no interceptions. He also ran 26 yards on two carries.

With respect to the Giants, they have a better chance to grab onto the wild card, as their next opponent is the Washington Redskins; a team is currently in third place in the NFC East and has no possibilities of making it into the postseason.
