NFC North battle update: Both Packers and Vikings win

Things remained tight in the NFC North after Week 14 with both the Packers and Vikings beating the Redskins and Lions, respectively.

The Packers improved to 10-3, while the Vikings improved to 9-4.

Green Bay has the head-to-head tiebreaker with its Week 2 win over the Vikings at Lambeau, but the two teams face off again in Week 16 at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Green Bay closes the season out at home against the Bears and on the road against the Vikings and Lions.

The Vikings close the season out on the road against the Chargers before heading home to face off against the Packers and Bears.

The site FiveThirtyEight gives Green Bay a 71 percent chance to win the division. However, if the Packers fall to the Bears and the Vikings beat the Chargers, that number dips to 44 percent.

At 7-6, the Bears are also still in the playoff hunt and have plenty to play for in Week 15, which certainly benefits the Vikings in this scenario.
