The Packers have clawed their way back into a Wild Card spot.  If the season ended today, the Packers would have earned a playoff birth.  With a Falcons loss in overtime to the Giants, the Packers move up to the number two slot.  Now, the Packers fully control their own destiny.  With losses for the Bears, Panthers and 49ers, these teams are effectively out of the Wild Card race.

Eagles (6-4) - The Eagles squeaked by the Bears, thanks in part to Crybaby Cutler’s inability to hit open receivers.  Next week they host the Redskins.

Packers (6-4) - The Packers have beaten the 49ers and now control their own destiny.  Next week they play Detroit in Detroit.  Normally this would be a welcome sight but with Stafford coming off a 5 touchdown game, Al Harris out, and only having four days rest, it could be trouble.

Giants (6-4) – The Giants come off of a close win over the Falcons.  On Thanksgiving, the Giants travel to Denver to play the now struggling Broncos.

Falcons (5-5) – Being on the losing end of an overtime loss is never a good experience for a team.  However, for most teams, playing the Buccaneers the following week at home is a good experience.

49ers (4-6) –  The loss to the Packers has all but killed the 49er’s playoff hopes.  They play Jacksonville next week.

Panthers (4-6) – The loss to the Dolphins has all but knocked the Panthers out of contention.  They travel to New York to play the Jets.

Bears (4-6) – The Bears are done and this will be the last week they appear in this blog.  The Bears travel to Minnesota to lose to the Vikings next week.
