Cheese Curds, 12/5: Packers are still a long, long, long shot to make playoffs

750-1.

Those are the odds for the Packers to make the playoffs, according to the Washington Post.

For those who are honest citizens, those odds are not great. It’s a long shot, as we know, and the Packers will essentially have to win out. They have pending matchups at Cleveland, at Carolina, home against Minnesota, and at Detroit. With 3 of the final 4 on the road, Packers fans are really holding onto hope that the messiah, Aaron Rodgers, will fully heal in time for Carolina.

Their win probability for the final four match ups are as follows: 84% chance to win against the Browns, 30% against the Panthers, 26% against the Vikings, and 40% against the Lions.

It’s easy to look forward towards the Carolina game because that’s the potential window in which Aaron Rodgers comes back, but the Packers have to be careful not to fall into a trap game against the Browns. The Browns haven’t won all year and they’ll be desperate for a win.
