Here are the Detroit Lions playoff-clinching scenarios for Thursday's game

The Detroit Lions host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football and they could once again clinch a playoff spot.

The easiest way for the Lions to clinch would be with a win or a tie, according to the NFL.

Dan Campbell says 'resilient' Lions are already in thick of playoffs in  crowded NFC

Detroit is 11-1 and would improve to 12-1 with a win. They’re still atop the NFC North, but not by much as the NFC North is the best division in football. The Minnesota Vikings are 10-2 and the Packers are 9-3.

Below are the playoff-clinching scenarios for the Lions

  1. DET win or tie
  2. ATL loss or tie + SEA-ARI tie
  3. ATL loss or tie + ARI loss + LAR loss or tie
  4. ATL loss or tie + LAR loss or tie + PHI win
  5. ATL loss or tie + SEA loss + PHI win
  6. ATL loss or tie + ARI loss + PHI win + DET clinches at least a tie in strength of victory tiebreaker over PHI
  7. TB loss or tie + SEA-ARI tie
  8. TB loss or tie + ARI loss + LAR loss or tie
  9. TB loss or tie + LAR loss or tie + PHI win
  10. TB loss or tie + SEA loss + PHI win
