Well at least the books for What If Sports. They simulated the 2008 season and came up with the Packers making the playoffs as the last Wild Card team, and winning their Wild Card game but losing the next week at Dallas. Making the playoffs is always good, but losing the division to Minnesota is not. Dallas goes on to lose in the Super Bowl to New England.

This is not an endorsement of What If Sports. One of my fellow SB Nation football bloggers looked back at how their projection worked out last year, and What If Sports was mostly wrong.
