Best scenario next week is... CAR def ATL, DEN def CHI, DAL def NYG, and we win. That doesn't clinch by any means but it makes 9-7 playoff birth nearly a lock. Of all these games imo we most want Atlanta to lose due to the tiebreaker.
It's impossible for both the Cowboys and the Giants to go 10-6. Bears LOL if they don't do something about the QB (I think they're going down). I believe they can fill in for Forte. So if the Lions win their next 3 (Vikings, at Raiders, Chargers) they'll be at worst 10-6 and will make the playoffs. Peterson is supposed to be out next week, Vikings have a terribad secondary, Lions roll. Playing at Oakland could be a challenge but maybe not so much. Turner is a lame duck for the Chargers. Even if Lions lose to Raiders they have a shot against the Packers. But really I think that if the Lions win the next 3, the last game of the year will be meaningless.
