Just how important is Dallas - Green Bay

[CATCH17]

Basically who ever wins this game takes a 2 game lead over the other one in terms of having home field advantage in the playoffs.

What makes it so big is both teams have a easy schedule after we play each other this Thursday.

Dallas Schedule

@ Detroit
Philadelphia
@ Carolina
@ Washington

Green Bay Schedule

Oakland
@ St Louis
@ Chicago
Detroit

Our schedule is tougher after the game as well. Not by a whole lot though.

So who ever wins this game SHOULD get home field advantage and a huge step towards getting to the "big game" and winning "the tournament".

St Louis is getting good now that their players are all getting healthy.

If some scores hold up we may unmathematically clinch our division today.

We play better on the road, so I'm not too terribly worried about playing at Lambeau in January.

You should be.

I believe they have only lost 1 playoff home game since their franchise has started.

Mix that with a crazy crowd and a hot Brett Favre and its just something no team would want to do.

Im worried about it for sure.

The team just seems more focused and gives more effort on the road, so no I'm not worried about it.
