The Packers will try and lock up a top seed in the NFC playoff bracket on Sunday as they travel to Detroit to take on the Lions in Week 17.

Green Bay (12-3) wrapped up the division with a win on "Monday Night Football" against Minnesota in Week 16. Now, the Packers will try and clinch a first-round bye in the playoffs with a win on Sunday. Green Bay's been on a roll as of late, winning five of its last six games. Meanwhile, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been sharp for the Packers this season, throwing for 3,679 yards, 24 touchdowns and just three interceptions.

Detroit (3-11-1) is in a free fall. After starting 2-0-1, the Lions have lost 11 of their last 12 games and sit at the bottom of the NFC. Not much has gone right for the Lions this season, and now some are questioning whether or not coach Matt Patricia will be on the sidelines next season for Detroit.

A win by the Packers or a loss by the Saints will give Green Bay the 2-seed in the NFC. A win and loss by San Francisco can give the Packers the top seed.
