Yes, and despite their playoff position being locked in, Green Bay looks to finish the regular season strong before turning attention to the postseason.<\/p>\n<div style='background:#f9f9f9;padding:20px;border-left:4px solid #e74c3c;margin:25px 0'>\n<h3 style='margin-top:0'>\ud83d\udd25 Quick Facts<\/h3>\n<ul style='margin:10px 0;padding-left:20px'>\n<li>The <b>Packers (9-6-1) clinched the NFC&#8217;s No. 7 seed<\/b> and their playoff position cannot change today<\/li>\n<li>Green Bay visits <b>U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis<\/b> at <b>noon CT on January 4, 2026<\/b>, on CBS<\/li>\n<li><b>Clayton Tune starts at quarterback<\/b> for the Packers with Jordan Love being rested before playoffs<\/li>\n<li>The Packers will face either the <b>Chicago Bears or Philadelphia Eagles<\/b> (No. 2 seed) in the Wild Card round<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Packers Locked Into 7th Seed While Vikings Seek Spoiler<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>Green Bay Packers<\/b> clinched their playoff spot on Christmas Day when the Detroit Lions lost to Minnesota. That clinching moment came before the Packers suffered a blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens at Lambeau Field, which locked them into the NFC&#8217;s <b>No. 7 seed position<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the <b>Vikings (8-8) have been eliminated from postseason contention<\/b>. Minnesota sits with nothing to play for except draft position, making this division rivalry matchup carry little weight in the playoff picture.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Packers can control their Wild Card opponent<\/b> based on how things shake out in other games. Green Bay will face either the <b>No. 2 seed Chicago Bears (11-5) or Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)<\/b> in the Wild Card round starting January 10-12.<\/p>\n<h2>Clayton Tune Gets Second NFL Start as Packers Rest Star Quarterback<\/h2>\n<p><b>Coach Matt LaFleur made the decision to rest star quarterback Jordan Love<\/b>, clearing him for action but opting to give him extra rest before the playoffs begin. This means <b>third-string quarterback Clayton Tune will make his second career NFL start<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Tune made his previous NFL start as a rookie with Arizona in 2023<\/b>. The backup signal caller has appeared in 14 games as a pro but hasn&#8217;t gotten significant playing time during the Packers&#8217; 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>The Vikings counter with <b>J.J. McCarthy under center<\/b> after the second-year signal caller struggled throughout the season. Minnesota&#8217;s passing game has been inconsistent, and McCarthy&#8217;s accuracy remains a point of concern heading into this final regular-season contest.<\/p>\n<h2>Justin Jefferson Eyes 1,000-Yard Season Milestone Against Green Bay<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Category<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Details<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Packers Record<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>9-6-1<\/b> (NFC No. 7 Seed)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Vikings Record<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'><b>8-8<\/b> (Eliminated from Playoffs)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Game Location &amp; Time<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>U.S. Bank Stadium, <b>Noon CT, January 4, 2026<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Spread \/ Favorite<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Vikings <b>-8.5<\/b> (Vikings solid favorites)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>Justin Jefferson has 947 receiving yards<\/b> heading into today&#8217;s matchup and needs just <b>53 yards to reach his sixth consecutive 1,000-yard season<\/b>. The star receiver has absolutely dominated against Green Bay throughout his career.<\/p>\n<p>Jefferson&#8217;s pursuit of another milestone season adds intrigue to a game that otherwise has major playoff implications off the table. Vikings fans will watch closely to see if their superstar wideout reaches this individual achievement, even as the team&#8217;s season comes to a disappointing close.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Matchup Means for the Wild Card Round<\/h2>\n<p>While the <b>Packers&#8217; 7th seed is locked in regardless of today&#8217;s outcome<\/b>, the division rivalry still carries weight in the NFC North. Green Bay looks to avoid any potential rust before facing a No. 2 seed on the road in the Wild Card.<\/p>\n<p>The Packers have avoided any devastating injuries in recent weeks and will use this game to get reps for backup players and fine-tune systems before the playoffs. Coach LaFleur&#8217;s decision to rest Love shows the team&#8217;s focus is firmly planted on the postseason rather than this meaningless regular-season finale.<\/p>\n<h2>Can the Packers Keep Their Momentum Rolling Against Minnesota?<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>Vikings are favored by 8.5 points<\/b>, reflecting Minnesota&#8217;s home-field advantage and the Packers&#8217; decision to rest their star quarterback. This betting line suggests oddsmakers expect a relatively comfortable Minnesota victory despite their postseason elimination.<\/p>\n<p>Green Bay enters as a road underdog but has the luxury of playing for playoff positioning rather than desperation. The question remains whether the Packers can execute cleanly with a backup signal caller or if Clayton Tune will struggle against a Vikings defense looking to play spoiler in their final game of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Sources<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><b>ESPN<\/b> &#8211; Game preview and playoff scenarios<\/li>\n<li><b>Packers Wire (USA Today)<\/b> &#8211; Playoff seeding and Clayton Tune coverage<\/li>\n<li><b>CBS Sports<\/b> &#8211; Odds, predictions, and game details<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":32613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"schema_org_data":"{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Clayton Tune\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Jordan Love\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/3599619\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Matt LaFleur\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.themoviedb.org\/person\/4238964\"]},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"J.J.
