If the Packers lose, they will not be a part of the postseason this year. It's as simple as that.

For a team that began 2-5, it has been a very impressive turnaround. The Packers have won 6 of their last night to currently stand at 8-8.

Green Bay takes on the 7-9 Chicago Bears at home at Lambeau Field on Sunday, a 3:25 kickoff time.

The Packers are a 3-point favorite currently according to ESPN Bet in the contest.

Just like last season, the Packers endured a long losing skid mid-season, rebounded to playoff contention, and once again have a win-and-in Week 18 game against a division rival at home.

Last year, the Packers lost said game to the surging Detroit Lions, ending their season and the Packer career of Quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

This season feels a bit different, but anything is possible coming up on Sunday when the games oldest rivalry adds another chapter.

Kickoff from Lambeau is set for 3:25, and you can listen to the game beginning with pregame coverage at 3:00 on ESPN 102.3 AM 1000 KSOO!
