The Green Bay Packers won on Thanksgiving, toppling the Detroit Lions. That doesn’t change their NFC playoff picture placement at all and they remain in sixth, but they are poised to move up this weekend.
If the Chicago Bears lose to the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, the Packers move into first place in the division.
Detroit’s loss keeps them on the outside looking in of the NFC playoff picture. They are a game out of a wild card slot.
