With the playoffs clinched, do we play all the backups next week vs the Pack? Rest the starters for the playoffs?

You have to ask the coach of the lions to find out.

If we decide that we want the DAL/NY winner, we need to win the Pack game. Maybe we start our starters in the 1st half and hope to get a good enough lead to coast thru the 2nd half with the backups?? The Pack might be resting a lot of their main guys too.

I'd expect the Pack to be resting a whole lot of people, they have the top spot locked up, home field, a bye, and no perfrect season to shoot for, no reason to risk it.

We are in a bit of a different boat though, we could potentially improve our position with a win. I think we will play for the win, and I don't necessarily think we are going to rest anyone unless we have a big lead.

If we win we definitely do improve our position, plus if we lose and Atlanta loses then we still retain the 5 spot. If we keep the 5th seed then it is possible the NFC Championship game could be Atlanta at Detroit.
