The Detroit Lions Playoff picture: The good news is we are in the driver’s seat, and control our own destiny.

With three games remaining, @ Vikings 12/24, @ Cowboys 12/30, hosting Vikings 1/7, if the Lions win ANY of these games they will clinch both a playoff spot and the NFC North.

If we lose out, we would need one of the following to happen:
Titans beat Seahawks - Dec. 24
Giants beat Rams - Dec. 31
Steelers beat Seahawks - Dec. 31
Packers beat Vikings - Dec. 31
Cardinals beat Seahawks - Jan. 7
49ers beat Rams - Jan. 7

Any of that happens, and we’re in. We win one of our games, we host a playoff game. I believe there is a scenario where we could lose out and still win the North, but let’s win instead and not worry about that.
