The Packers cannot clinch anything in week 15 if they do not win against Pittsburgh.
The only scenario that guarantees a Packers playoff spot is this one: GB wins AND the Giants lose to Washington (This would mean NY drops to 7-7 and cannot catch the Pack).
This would guarantee Green Bay a spot in the top 6.
I was actually just thinking about this. I think it is possible for the Packers to clinch if
1) The Eagles win tonight
2) The Packers win next week
3) The Cowboys lose next week
4) The Giants lose next week
The Packers own tie breakers over the Cowboys and 49ers. The Falcons have a worse division record so the Pack have a tie breaker over them. If the Giants lose to the Redskins next week than the Packers will have a better division record then them as well.
The Packers need to win at least 1 more game and they should beat Seattle easily. They may finish 12-4 or if they lose at Steelers and Cardinals 10-6 either way they should be a wild card. They have a chance if they win out and the Vikings drop 3 to take the division. The Vikings play at Carolina at Chicago and finish up with the Giants at the Metrodome.
