1075 top seed
After narrowly defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, league industry insiders generally believe that no one may be able to stop the Green Bay Packers in the last two games.
Such disregard is a shame for the Seattle Seahawks and the Arizona Cardinals - because they are the last two opponents of the Green Bay Packers, but the fact is that it is really difficult for them to gain the upper hand on this team, and the results of the game prove the professional point of view.
At home against the Seattle Seahawks, the Green Bay Packers beat the opponent with a huge gap of "10:48", and the opponent did not see any hope in the whole game.
The away game against the Arizona Cardinals was also the rematch of the National League final last season. People were looking forward to the two sides contributing another wonderful showdown, but the head coaches of both sides were old foxes. After learning that both teams had secured a playoff spot, both sides sent a substitute.
The main players only made their first quarter appearances, and all the remaining three quarters played as substitutes, which was not like the regular season but the preseason. The Green Bay Packers showed an excellent bench depth, and of course, there was an excellent tactical system to beat the opponent easily.
