So with all that in mind, here’s the rundown on Week 17 and the potential implications involving the Packers:<\/p>\n
Detroit (8-7) at Minnesota (7-8) \u2013 A Lions loss on Christmas Day would clinch a playoff spot for the Packers before Green Bay even plays on Saturday, so root for the Vikings to hand the Lions their third straight defeat<\/strong> and eliminate them.<\/p>\n Seattle (12-3) at Carolina (8-7) \u2013 This game doesn’t really have any direct impact on the Packers’ fortunes. But if you’d like to see someone other than the Seahawks win the NFC West and\/or want Carolina to have a shot at overtaking the Eagles in the playoff seeding, cheer for the Panthers. If you’d rather see Tampa Bay win the NFC South instead of Carolina, root for the Seahawks.<\/p>\n Philadelphia (10-5) at Buffalo (11-4) \u2013 The Packers still have a shot at the NFC North, and any losses by Philly would help the NFC North winner finish with a better seed than the NFC East winner, so pull for the Bills to knock off the Eagles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Chicago (11-4) at San Francisco (11-4) \u2013 The Sunday night game will kick off nearly 24 hours after the Packers’ result against the Ravens, and Saturday night’s game at Lambeau determines the rooting interest<\/strong>. If the Packers win to stay alive in the NFC North race, cheer for the 49ers to beat the Bears. But if the Packers lose and can only get a wild card if they get into the playoffs, it could help Green Bay’s potential seed if the Bears win this one.<\/p>\n L.A. Rams (11-4) at Atlanta (6-9) \u2013 If the Rams don’t win the NFC West and are in the wild-card picture, the Packers could be fighting for seeding position with them, so cheer for a Falcons upset of the Rams<\/strong> on Monday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So with all that in mind, here’s the rundown on Week 17 and the potential implications involving the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":467253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[202888,11822,51440,212525,1232,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-467252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-baltimore-ravens-at-green-bay-packers-2025-reg-17","9":"tag-homepage-cp","10":"tag-news-national-feature","11":"tag-news-path-to-the-playoffs","12":"tag-nfl","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
