If anyone is going to be "This year's Packers" I think it's going to be Detroit.
Powerhouse offense, a game against the winners of their division in week 17 with the chance to knock them out of the playoffs eventually as well. They CAN beat Green Bay the way both teams are playing right now. I wouldn't really be that surprised to see Detroit be the latest 5/6th seed to make it to the Super Bowl.
Also, there have been something like 11 different NFC teams in the Super Bowl in the last 11 years. Either Detroit, SF or Dallas going would make it 12 in 12.
