The Green Bay Packers finally made it to their bye week following 12 straight football games to start the season. That wear and tear definitely showed as they’ve experienced more injuries this season than any other under head coach Matt LaFleur.

With the hopes of getting healthy, the Packers have positioned themselves nicely within the NFC North and the NFC as a whole. Green Bay has a healthy lead in their division with a magical number of two to clinch another title.

They’re also one game behind the Arizona Cardinals for the top seed in the conference and own the tie-breaker. Let’s walk through the Packers’ final five games, make a prediction about the outcome and then predict where they’ll finish in the conference.

Let’s make a prediction for each of the Green Bay Packers remaining games as well as their playoff position following their bye week.

Packers prediction for Week 14: Victory over Bears

Green Bay got an extra week to prepare for Chicago who they’ll take on in the friendly confines of Lambeau Field. Justin Fields was doubtful and eventually didn’t play against the Cardinals this week so we’ll have to wait and see whether it will be him or Andy Dalton who lines up under center.

It won’t matter either way. The Packers are the far superior team and will take it to the Bears following their bye week. LaFleur is 0-2 following the bye as the Packers’ head coach and you can bet your bottom dollar he’s motivated to change that.
