Kind of weird that due to the schedule and standings, with two playoff spots open, all three of the Rams, Cards, and Bears have destiny in their own hands.
If the Bears win, they're in regardless of the outcome of the LAR-Ari game.
If the Rams win, that automatically means Arizona loses (H2H matchup this week), which knocks the Cards out, because Chicago would be in with an Arizona loss.
If the Cards win, that automatically means LAR loses. If that result combines with a Chicago loss, then the Bears are out and LAR makes it in anyway despite losing to Arizona, and both the Cards and Rams get in while the Bears miss out. But if Arizona wins and Chicago wins, then the Rams lose out on tiebreakers.
So all three of those teams are in a "win and you're in...somehow" situation this week. But two of them could also lose and still somehow get in (LAR, Chi).
If the Bears lose, they can still get in with a Rams win.
If the Rams lose, they can still get in with a Bears loss to GB.
Given the QB situation for the Rams, and given that GB needs to win this week to clinch the #1 seed - and the timing of the games are such that they won't know whether they actually need it or not as they're playing - I expect the Packers to beat the Bears, and I expect the Cards to beat the Rams, which would put both NFC West teams in, and Chicago out. It's crazy though.
