    The Green Bay Packers can clinch the NFC North this weekend with a victory at the New York Giants and a loss by the Detroit Lions, who play at the New Orleans Saints. In that scenario, the Packers would improve to 12-0, making it impossible for the Lions at 7-5 to catch them. And even if the Packers lost their remaining games, they would hold a tiebreaker advantage over the Chicago Bears if both teams finished the season 12-4. (Details for the curious: None of the first three tiebreakers -- head-to-head, division record and common opponents -- would settle the tie. It would be decided on conference record, which the Packers would win with a one-game advantage.)
