The last game of the NFL 2022-23 regular season will be played at Lambeau Field on Sunday night (8:20 pm ET, NBC) between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. The 14th and final playoff place will be allocated after this game, but not necessarily to either of these teams. The third team at the party are the Seattle Seahawks. If they beat the Rams earlier on Sunday and the Lions beat the Packers, the Seahawks get the place. If Seattle beats the Rams and the Packers win at home, Green Bay progresses. And if the Rams beat Seattle, this game becomes a straight shootout for the final NFC playoff place.

NFL Detroit Lions vs Green Bay Packers expert predictions
The Packers were on the brink of packing up and going home two-thirds of the way through this season, but they have rescued themselves from the brink of elimination with 4 straight wins. Those successes against the Bears, Rams, Dolphins and Vikings have lifted them to an 8-8 record and the good news is they are playing better than they have at any point in the campaign.
