Packers playoff odds with win or loss vs. Seahawks

On December 15, 2024By Online Niel

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay The Packers will not be able to clinch a playoff spot with a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night, but they are closing in on a postseason berth.

Here are the latest playoff odds and how they will be affected by the outcome in Seattle.

NFL.com: 96 percent.

Beats Seattle: Over 99 percent. Losing to Seattle: 93 percent.

New York Times: 97 percent.

Beats Seattle: Over 99 percent. Losing to Seattle: 94 percent.

Playoff status: 96 percent.

Beats Seattle: Over 99 percent. Losing to Seattle: 93 percent.

If the Packers win, their playoff seed percentages would be 24 percent for No. 5, 64 percent for No. 6 and 11 percent for No. 7. If the Packers lose, they would move to 11 percent for No. 5 , 51 percent. for no. 6 and 31 percent for no. 7.

ESPN: 99 percent.

There is no win-loss breakdown. However, the Packers have a 26% chance to move up to No. 5 and a 53% chance to stay at No. 6.

Fox Sports: 97 percent.

There’s no win-loss breakdown, but Fox’s Ralph Vacchiano had this (and more) to say about the Packers. “They’re almost certainly going to have to go through Detroit if they want to get to the Super Bowl, and that task doesn’t seem as daunting as it probably once did.”

Even though they are on track to earn a return trip to the playoffs, this is a big game for the Packers.

Serial head no. 6 of the playoffs will play at the top of the series no. 3. Right now, that would mean a rematch at the Seahawks before what could mean a third game against the Detroit Lions in the divisional round.

If the Packers were to fall to No. 7, they would have to play the No. 2 seed. Right now, that would mean a rematch at the Eagles. If the Packers could pull off an upset win in Philadelphia, they would be locked into a return trip to Detroit for the divisional round.

“Very important,” coach Matt LaFleur said. “It’s the next game. It’s a big challenge. They are a very good team, a team that is on a winning streak. Like we told our guys, it’s all playoff games from here on out.”

Quarterback Jordan Love said the team has the same mindset as last year.

“We’re not holding anything back,” he said. “We’re keeping the same approach we’ve had all season, taking it one week at a time. That said, we’re pretty much in the same boat as last year. We’re just saying we have to win. Our goal is to win every game to finish this period and secure a place in the playoffs. We’ll take it one week at a time, and obviously our focus is still on getting a win in Seattle this week.”

The Packers will finish the season with games against the Seahawks, who are 8-5, have won four straight, the Saints, who are 5-8 but have won three of their last four, the Vikings, who are 11-2 and have won six in a row and the Bears, who are 4-9 and have lost seven in a row.

“The thinking is this is a playoff game,” safety Xavier McKinney said. “It’s like any other mentality, any other game, we have to go in focused and ready to play. Obviously, the atmosphere it provides is pretty crazy. I’ve played there once before, I know how loud it can get and I know their fans are crazy – crazy like that.

“They’ve got a really good team, so it’s going to be a challenge for us to go there for a road game, a tough team, an opposing playoff team, so that’s the mindset we’re carrying.”
