Detroit at Green Bay

The Detroit Lions love being in the playoffs and having a shot at the NFC North title. That said, they would probably prefer playing the season finale away from Lambeau Field.

Anchored by Ndamukong Suh, the Lions have the players to give Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers offense issues. Detroit can usually generate pressure without blitzing. Plus, the Lions can get pressure from the inside.

These are some of the qualities Detroit used to beat Green Bay 19-7 in Week 3. Per Mike Spofford of Packers.com, offensive lineman Josh Sitton believes the Packers are a different team now.

“We’re extremely confident. We’re always more confident at home, for sure," said Sitton. "That’s a big thing for us. We didn’t have an identity in Week 3. It seems to take us a while to get going and figure out who we are. We know who we are now.”

Detroit still doesn't know if it has a quarterback who can make plays late in the season and in the playoffs. Last week, the Lions knocked off the Chicago Bears despite two perplexing interceptions in the red zone by Matthew Stafford.

Against the Packers and Stafford, the Lions won't get away with those mistakes.

Rodgers hasn't thrown an interception all season at home. The Packers are a perfect 7-0 at Lambeau Field as well. Both streaks will remain intact, and the Packers will win the NFC North.

Carolina at Atlanta

One team has to represent the NFC South, and it'll be either the Carolina Panthers or the Atlanta Falcons. The latter will have the home-field advantage, but it won't matter.

Carolina isn't actually playing too poorly over the last four weeks of the season. In fact, it has won three in a row to pave the way for this win-and-you're-in situation.

Atlanta's defense is horrible. It's ranked dead last in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game, 31st in sacks and 25th in total yards allowed.

Cam Newton and the Panthers should find it easy to move the ball. With an effective run game Carolina will control the ball and the clock. That will keep the Falcons' powerful offense on the sidelines and lead the Panthers to the division title.

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh

Shockingly, Andy Dalton didn't ruin the Cincinnati Bengals' Week 16 prime-time tilt against the Denver Broncos. The Bengals have clinched a playoff spot but would love to win the AFC North. They can do that by beating the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night.

If the Indianapolis Colts lose to the Tennessee Titans, the Bengals could steal the third spot in the AFC standings.

Unfortunately for Cincy, none of that will happen. 

In Week 14, the Steelers came into Paul Brown Stadium and defeated the Bengals 42-21. Dalton actually played well in that game. He threw for 302 yards and tossed two touchdowns. The Steelers offense, however, had its way with the Bengals defense.

Le'Veon Bell began his late run for the MVP in that one. He ran for 185 yards and two touchdowns. Ben Roethlisberger also threw 350 yards, three scores and no picks. The Cincinnati defense hasn't shown many signs of shutting teams down of late. 

Even in the Week 16 win over Denver, the Bengals gave up 28 points to a Broncos attack that didn't look nearly as sharp as it had earlier in the season.
