Yes of course! The winner of the game is gonna get a first round home game or even a first round bye while the loser will have to play on the road first round.

Since the NFC North title and a 1st round bye is both on the line, the Packers have a lot to play for against the Lions.  If the Packers lose next week, they fall to the #5 or 6 seed in the playoffs and will have to play the wild card round on the road.
