The Packers come into this game with the number 1 seed in the NFC for the playoffs. The Packers have nothing to play for since win or lose, they are going to be the number 1 seed. With all this, all indications are the team will rest key players on its offense and defense. For instance, stud quarterback Aaron Rodgers could play merely the 1st quarter. As the team tries to get rest for its battered offensive line, this is especially accurate. Overall, the Packers look to be all set to sleepwalk through this game.

That could be the distinction between being one and done in the playoffs or having a deep run. The Detroit Lions will be very determined for this game overall.
