I could actually see GB winning at Atlanta, which is where they would go next. The Falcons really do not impress me a whole lot. They strike me as the team that reverts to about 7-9 or 6-10 next year. (There are a couple of teams like this every year & they look like prime candidates for that role to me). It would not surprise me in the least to see Atlanta go "one and done" against ANY of their potential opponents.
But then after that...can the Pack win in Philly? I'd say no. They got murdered there this year and that should screw with their heads. Not to mention they are just nowhere near the talent level of the Eagles, even without TO.
However... is there a chance Philly loses before this matchup ever happens? It'd be either Seattle or St Louis pulling off the upset. Seems unlikely, but with the Eagles players not having played a meaningful game in a month + TO's absence...well, I guess it ~could~ happen. For the Rams that would mean winning B2B road games. (Not sure I see them doing that). For the Hawks, it would mean them coming through in the clutch for a change. (Not sure I see them doing that). But if it DID happen the Pack would be hosting Seattle or St Louis for the NFC Championship (assuming GB beats Atl). Suddenly the odds of them making it to the Superbowl don't look so bad.
To me it really depends on whether you think one of those teams can beat Philly, because I think if the Eagles are not rusty and win their first game, they beat the Packers pretty easily next.
