After defeating the Detroit Lions in the NFL regular season finale on Sunday night and thus winning the NFC North division, the Green Bay Packers are officially the No. 4 seed in the NFC.
That means that Green Bay will play at Lambeau Field in the Wild Card round, where they will take on the New York Giants. Recent history has proven the combination of facing the Giants at home in the postseason to be a bad omen for the Packers, however.
In both of the Giants’ last two Super Bowl title runs, 2011 and 2007, the Giants won a road game during the playoffs against the Packers. Green Bay will look to interrupt that trend in 2017, while the Giants will hope to keep that streak alive.
Here’s everything you need to know about Green Bay’s playoff schedule:
