I'm not convinced that Vikings beating the Packers, losing to the Lions is the more realistic of the bunch.

That's because I could easily see the Lions sitting their starters in the final week of the season. Guess it depends on what happens in the Lions-Cowboys game on Saturday. A Lions loss pretty much locks them into the #3 spot (barring a Philly/SF collapse) while a win would keep them alive for the #1 seed & bye, pending the 49ers/Rams game.

In other words, who I'm rooting for on Monday night depends on what occurs in the earlier slate of games. But it'd be ironic if heading into the last week, the Rams need a Lions win while the Lions need a Rams win.
