And it is more than just obtaining the #1 seed.
We all want the Hawks to win out - I get that. BUT...if we DO lose at Az...the Bills beating the Packers would be HUGE as we would be 99.9% in the playoffs with wining our two remaining home games (to get to 11 wins.) A Bills win would give the Packers 4 losses and if the Lions get to week 17 with 4 losses, one will have to exit that game with 5 losses (a tie being that .1%) And since we have all the tie-breakers involving both GB and Detroit (and Philly,) we win ANY tie-breaker in figuring out the WC.
The Bills not giving GB that 4th loss puts the very possible (though unlikely) situation where GB could be a 12-4 WC and us up against Dallas @ 11-5 for the #6 seed.
(GB could lose at Tampa...but not likely.)
