The final week of the NFL season is set with the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers playing on Sunday Night Football. Millions of NFL fans were waiting on tender hooks to see how the scheduling would fall...and it's fallen horribly wrong.
Given that Sunday Night Football is the biggest NFL game of the week, Detroit will play Green Bay at Lambeau Field with the potential of both teams locking up a playoff spot.
What are the current Super Bowl odds?
But there's one problem.
As things stand, the Seattle Seahawks hold the No.7 Seed in the NFC. Both the Seahawks and Detroit have identical records of 8-8. The big concern is, what comes next?
The Seahawks have already played the Lions this season and defeated Dan Campbell's team, 48-45. What does that mean? Putting it simply, they own the tie-breaker over Detroit. If Seattle defeats the Los Angeles Rams in the second window of games, then the Detroit clash against the Packers on Sunday Night Football will be meaningless.
That is horrible.
Having been one of the bigger stories of the year, the final regular-season game has been stuffed up by the NFL schedule.
Lions vs. Packers clash could have everything or nothing on the line
The final regular-season game could either have everything on the line for Detriot, or absolutely nothing. With Seattle playing earlier in the day, Campbell's team will know by kickoff time if they have a shot at making the postseason or not.
If Seattle wins, the only thing Detroit will have to play for is pride and ruin Green Bay's season.
If Baker Mayfield and the Rams can defeat the Seahawks, then that is where it gets really interesting. Should that happen, then Detroit and Green Bay will be putting all of their chips onto the middle of the table.
It will be a "Winner-take-all" for the final NFC playoff spot.
That is what many hope will happen as having essentially a dead-rubber on Sunday Night Football isn't what anyone wants (aside from Packers fans).
