Green Bay Packers are the second ranked team in the NFC and were one of three teams alongside the 49ers and the Saints who ended on a 13-3 record for the regular season. They take on Seattle Seahawks in this divisional final. That 13-3 record won them NFC North, three wins clear of Minnesota Vikings. They could end up meeting the Vikings in the NFC Championship match if they can beat the San Francisco 49ers in the other NFC play-off match. The Packers have missed the play-offs for the past two seasons but have put that right this time around. They won NFC North for the first time since 2011 and only lost two of 12 games against other NFC sides and none when playing other sides in their division. They come into this game having won their last five matches and well rested after their bye through to this divisional final. 

Seattle Seahawks had an 11-5 season record as they finished second behind San Francisco 49ers in the NFC West. Eight of their twelve matches against other NFC sides were won in the regular season. Their season began with ten wins from their first twelve matches but then they lost three of the last four to end any chance of winning their division. They are ranked fifth in the NFC and that meant they had to have a wild card match against Philadelphia Eagles. They won each of the first three quarters and after a scoreless final one, they ran out 17-9 winners. The Seahawks were helped in that game by an injury to the Philadelphia QB and they prospered against his replacement Josh McCown. They won't be up against a 40-year-old QB this weekend though and the tip is for a Packers victory.
