The Packers, in Green Bay will take precedent

Playing around on the playoff simulator:
Week 16: If DET, GB, DAL, PHI and DAL all win
Week 17 If DAL, PHI, SEA and ARI all win

then Det v GB is a winner gets the #2, and loser is out game, Definitely will be flexed

So really we are just debating Packers vs. Steelers? The Bengals and Lions are both teams that can't be trusted from week to week, so it depends of which storied franchise the networks/America loves more.

Wait, since there is no Monday Night game in week 17, aren't there two Sunday nighters?

Yeah, win or go home trumps a game that has a good chance of being replayed a week later. You win.

No, there's only one, they just don't pick it until the last possible minute

That's amazing that an 11-5 team in the NFC could find themselves left out of the playoffs. The two conferences couldn't be more unlike. The NFC seems to have an obvious hierarchy of top teams and bottom dwellers, while the AFC outside of New England and Denver is a clusterfuck of mediocrity.
