The Green Bay Packers 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions Sunday to take the NFC North may mean they are about to lose the chance for a Super Bowl 51 appearance, so says Chris Chase of Fox Sports.
Sure the Packers get to host New York in Green Bay while Detroit will have to play in Seattle BUT…
From Fox Sports:
Green Bay hosts the Giants, who went 11-5 in the best division in football and have allowed 10 points or fewer in three of their past four games. Two of those three performances came vs. playoff teams and the other was Sunday against the Washington team that should have been. With that defense, an explosive Odell Beckham Jr. and Eli Manning, who loves nothing more than slowly plodding through playoff road games en route to a surprise Super Bowl, is that a team you want to see? Green Bay knows the answer. The Giants are 5-0 in their last five playoff road games and two those five games came at Lambeau in 2007 and 2011, the years Manning won his two Super Bowls. Prior to 2007, Green Bay had lost two playoff games ever at home (and ever goes back to 1939). In a five-year stretch, Eli Manning and the Giants doubled that.
The Packers were listed with 10-1 odds of winning Super Bowl 51.
