The Detroit Lions are set up for an opportunity to earn the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
They have been a juggernaut all season long and are coming off a walk-off victory over the arch-rival Green Bay Packers last week.
While on the St. Brown Podcast recently, Lions All-Pro wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown stated who he’d rather face between the Minnesota Vikings and the Packers.
“Probably the Vikings. Playing a division team in the playoffs, it gets nutty. You don’t know what’s going to happen,” St. Brown said Wednesday.

Judging by the nature of St. Brown’s response, it seems like a bit of a coin flip.
He and the Lions might not want to face a divisional rival in the postseason, especially because they already know so much about each other.
The Lions are still waiting to face the Vikings again but have faced and beaten the Packers twice.
However, the Packers gave the Lions a great battle last week, and if it weren’t for a couple of interesting calls from the officials, perhaps Green Bay steals a win.
It is also extremely difficult to beat a team three times in one season.
If Detroit faces one of their old rivals in January for the third time, it might be their toughest battle of the season.
Sitting at a record of 12-1, the Lions are in sole possession of first place in the NFC North and have a blockbuster game against the Buffalo Bills on deck for this Sunday.
