PACKERS

The Green Bay Packers are on a four game losing streak entering the playoffs. They are the fourth team to do that. The last three teams to do that didn't make much noise in the playoffs. 

2024 Steelers were 10-7 entering the playoffs losing four straight. They lost in the first round.

1999 Lions were 8-8 entering the playoffs losing four straight. They lost in the first round.

1986 Jets were 10-6 entering the playoffs losing five straight. They won one game in the playoffs. 

Let's see if the Packers can do what the 1986 Jets did and win in the first round of the playoffs coming off at least a four game losing streak to end the regular season. They are healthy entering the playoffs. The last game of the season they rested most of their starters against the Vikings since they couldn't improve their seeding so it's almost like they had a bye. They play their division rival the Chicago Bears for the third time in a month tonight in the Wild Card Round.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos and Bo Nix are playing well this season. After beating their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders last night, they hold an 8-2 record.  Don't get too excited though, they have only beaten one team above 500 (Eagles). Their two losses are against the Chargers and the Colts.  Don't get me wrong, this team is playing well, has a good defense, and a good young quarterback, but lets see how they do against teams with winning records.  Their nect game is against the Kansas City Chiefs.
