Green Bay is the most overrated playoff team.

Green Bay might actually be the worst NFC first-round bye team in the history of the NFL playoffs. They have zero quality wins with their best win coming against the Chiefs. Besides that, they have only beat the Minnesota Vikings.

They lost to the San Francisco 49ers 37-5 in the complete annihilation of the Packers defense. The Packers also lost to Philadelphia Eagles who made the playoffs on a 9-7 record and the 5-11 San Diego Chargers. Neither of which were quality losses.

The Packers stink it up and somehow win. The Cowboys put up great stats and somehow lose. Congrats, Green Bay, you just won the NFC's No. 1 seed. Somehow.

CBS Sports has the Green Bay Packers ranked as the No. 6 even behind both the No. 3 seeds in the AFC and the NFC. The Minnesota Vikings might even end up being more of a struggle to the New Orleans Saints than the first-round bye team will be.
