The Lions need help no matter which scenario, winning the division is pretty important to them given how much their offense thrives inside versus outside. They avoid the tie though which would have by far been the worst case for them, would have practically eliminated them with the tiebreaker situations.

Lions still only have a 29% chance to make the playoffs.

He's assuming the Packers are losing out which might happen. But the Ravens have shown nothing to be deeply afraid of, and even though Nine is probably the greatest athlete of all-time the Vikes probably don't have enough to beat the Packers. I think they'll get the one win they need.

Packers with 1 win and 1 loss gets them to 10-6-1. Lions with a win-out get to 11-6.

Packers need both wins (or a win and a tie) to clinch a playoff spot. Otherwise they need the Lions to lose a game (or tie).

Bears lose:
Lions need to win out (including a game vs the Bears)

Bears win:
Lions need to win out, AND the Packers to lose another game
