Mike McCarthy can’t wait for Sunday. Can’t blame him.

The thought of clinching the NFC North at Lambeau Field certainly is an enticing one. McCarthy’s Packers can do so with a victory over the Lions, whose recent history in Green Bay is, well, dismal.

Detroit has not won there since 1991. And the Pack is 7-0 at Lambeau this season.

Both teams are 11-4 and the winner still could get home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs if Seattle falls to St. Louis. The focus is not on anywhere but the Green Bay tundra for McCarthy and his players.

“I think it’s great that Detroit and our records are the same and we’re playing for the title,” the Packers coach says. “Yeah, I think this is exactly how you’d want it. I know it’s how I’d prefer it.”

Especially at home, where the Packers are 71/2 point favorites over the Lions.

Spread should be higher.

PACKERS, 31-20

Cleveland (plus 9) at Baltimore

Ravens put themselves in desperate spot with recent losses.

Home-field advantage to the Seahawks. NFC Beware!

SEAHAWKS, 23-13

Arizona (plus 51/2) at San Francisco

Harbaugh and Niners must envy what Cardinals have done. But Arizona is so banged-up …

49ERS, 17-13

There’s something rotten in Denver, but not rotten enough to lose this one.

Philadelphia (plus 21/2) at New York Giants

Eagles have nothing to gain here, Giants can close with flourish.

End of the Cutler-Trestman-Emery era? If so, it ends ignominiously.
