If the season ended today, the dallas cowboys (2) vs. green bay packers (7), detroit lions (3) vs. los angeles rams (6), tampa bay buccaneers (4) vs. philadelphia eagles (5) this would be a challenging first-round matchup.
The packers would resurrect their rivalry with the dallas cowboys, a team that they dominated during the aaron rodgers period. How about the detroit lions versus the los angeles rams? mike mccarthy takes on the packers to advance to the divisional round.
During the matthew stafford period, the lions never hosted a playoff game. Stafford would return to detroit to try to eliminate them.
On the other hand, jared goff would have the best chance to prove the rams wrong by trading him. In week 18, a lot will likely change. To qualify, the packers must win, and results in the league will determine playoff seeding. But this lineup would be amusing.
