The NFC North has been setting itself up to be the best division in football, evidenced by how well the Detroit Lions, Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers have played through

Currently, the Packers have a three percent chance of winning the division and a 96 percent chance of being a wildcard team. If the Packers don’t win the NFC North, they’ll have to go on the road to play a division winner — most likely the champion of the NFC West or NFC South — in the first round of the postseason.

The Lions and Packers both secured wins on Thanksgiving and improved to 11-1 and 8-3, respectively. That puts pressure on Minnesota to take care of a good Cardinals team on Sunday, get to 10-2, and maintain its spot in between those two rivals heading into the final five weeks of the season.
