This weekend, the Packers and Vikings are going to lose to the Bengals and Panthers, respectively. That will drop them to 1-6 and 2-5.

Meanwhile, the Bears and Lions play head to head. The winner goes to 4-3 with a one game lead on the loser and a 2-game lead over the Vikings. Even more significantly, if the Bears win, they will effectively have a TWO game lead on the Lions, since a win would mean a season sweep of the series, giving them the tiebreaker.

This game is huge. As big a 3-3 vs 3-3 game you're going to find.
