The Green Bay Packers squandered a prime chance last week by falling 16-13 to the Carolina Panthers at Lambeau Field. Consequently, they still lead the Detroit Lions by only half a game. Meanwhile, the Chicago Bears closed in with a thrilling 47-42 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Packers’ recent loss was their first since Week 3, placing them at 5-2-1. As the Lions and Bears face struggling opponents in Week 10, Green Bay is eager for a win as they welcome the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night.

In Week 10, the Lions will compete against the Washington Commanders, who are on a four-game losing streak and will miss quarterback Jayden Daniels due to injury. Meanwhile, the Bears take on the struggling New York Giants, who haven’t won this season away from home.

The Packers will need a victory against the Eagles to keep their division lead intact, especially since they lost crucial player Tucker Kraft to a season-ending ACL injury last week. The Eagles are favored to win, currently sitting at 6-2 and coming off two consecutive victories.

Current playoff predictions indicate that a Packers win would boost their playoff chances by 7%, while a defeat would decrease it by over 10%. In simulation models, the Eagles are overwhelmingly likely to capture another NFC East title, boasting a 94.5% likelihood of repeating as division champions.

Chances of Making Playoffs:

Team	Current	With Week 10 Win	With Week 10 Loss	Difference
Green Bay Packers	78.5%	85.5%	68.3%	17.2%
Philadelphia Eagles	95.6%	98.4%	93.3%	5.1%

Winning another NFC North title hinges on the Packers securing critical victories in upcoming games.
