Today, the waiting is over for fans of the Green Bay Packers. The team finally takes the field for their first postseason game this January after last week’s bye, making it the first truly meaningful game the team has played since the penultimate week of the regular season.
The Packers earned the NFC’s top seed and that bye thanks to a 13-4 record, the third straight season in which the team won 13 games and earned a pass through the Wild Card round. With the San Francisco 49ers heading into Lambeau Field, the Packers will have faced three different NFC West teams in the Divisional Round each of the past three years, after beating the Los Angeles Rams last January and the Seattle Seahawks the year before that.
Green Bay is favored in this game by a little less than a touchdown, the widest point spread of any game this weekend. With kickoff temperatures expected to be in the single digits, however, the Packers seem poised to get what they had hoped for this postseason: true winter Wisconsin weather.
