    If the Lions lose to the Vikings tonight, they end the season 14-3 and have to travel to LA to face the 10-7 Rams - a team they beat earlier in the season. Same goes for the Vikings and while the Rams defeated the Vikings, it's still a 14-3 team on the road at a 10-7 team. I'm not sure how the re-seeding works, but either team might have to be on the road throughout the playoffs with the conference's second best record. Some are saying that tonight's game bears the highest stakes in over three decades.

    Moral of the story: Play in a crappy division and get rewarded.
