Well, I guess we've got one thing pretty much banked for Week 16...

One of the following two scenarios will occur:

Either:

• Green Bay defeats Minnesota
• or Detroit loses to Dallas on Monday night.

Why?

From Jeff Moss of Detroit, through Brian Tuohy:

Amazing that the Packers were dead in the water 4 weeks ago, now they & Lions will be flexed into an end-all-be-all for the NFC North. https://t.co/Oo4tPqoMNR

EDIT TO ADD:  Whoops, click the Twitter link.

Moss' post is that the Lions have been notified that their game in Ford Field in Week 17 with the Packers is 95% confirmed the flex game for the Sunday night slot -- usually a winner-take-all loser-goes-home affair.
