Opinions are like A-holes, we all have one.
I kind of disagree with you here. Seeding definitely does matter and the Rams currently hold the #3 seed and if they win at home against the Seahawks next week, they stay there.I'm not convinced this is a huge game for playoff implications for us. Yes, 5th seed is out there, but if we beat the Vikings and the Lions beat the 49ers then Lions clinch #1 seed. Are they really going to go all out next week against the Vikings? I have my doubts.
Not to mention if you desire to not play the Rams in rd 1, fairly decent chance the Rams are the #4 seed. If they clinch today they are most likely going to sit players too. Atl/TB win out they are the 3 seed I believe.
So at the end of the day really #6 seed seems the most likely.
It will be a fun game, but I'm not gnashing my teeth over concerns about seeding. This is way more important for the Vikings for seeding than us.
I can 100% guarantee you that the Packers will be playing all out to win this game and if they have a shot at a higher seed, next weeks game against the Bears as well.
