4 biggest threats to Packers earning first-round playoff bye

Biggest threats to Packers’ first-round bye: 2. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Buccaneers are in the exact opposite category in terms of schedule difficulty as the Cardinals are. The Saints were by far the most difficult opponent remaining on their schedule when they got shut out in a loss last week. Now they have just the Carolina Panthers (twice) and the New York Jets remaining.

That should set them up to run the table over the final three games even without Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette. The Packers own the tie-breaker (conference record) over the Buccaneers which makes them less of a threat should they tie.
