The regular season has just four weeks left until the playoffs come rolling around. The Detroit Lions are 12-1 on the campaign and have a narrow one-game lead over the Philadelphia Eagles for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

The Lions are looking to make a Super Bowl run and get over the hump they couldn't clear last year. The NFC is stacked this year, especially the NFC North. The Lions, Minnesota Vikings, and Green Bay Packers are all going to make the playoffs. Each team has at least nine games as we enter Week 15.

There are a lot of good teams that will be fighting to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. And Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown revealed the one division team he doesn't want to play in the playoffs.

Detroit News: Amon-Ra St. Brown Would Rather Play Vikings

During an episode of the St.Brown Podcast, Equanimeous asked his brother Amon-Ra who he would rather play in the playoffs between the Vikings or the Packers. And Amon-Ra picked Minnesota.

"Well, we haven't played the Vikings a second time yet but I would probably say the Vikings. Playing a division team in the playoffs, it gets nutty."

Due to the Vikings and Packers likely notching the fifth and sixth seeds in the conference, there's a good chance that one of those teams will have to travel to Ford Field and play the Lions in the Divisional Round if seeding stays the same.

The Packers and Lions squared off twice already this season, with Detroit winning both games. Although they came out on top, they escaped with a 34-31 win over Green Bay in Week 14. If a couple of calls went another way, it's very possible that the Packers beat Detroit.

In Week 7, the Lions also narrowly beat Minnesota 31-29.

Both teams have shown the ability to keep up with the Lions but beating a team three times in one season is tough to do. The USC product knows that and feels like the Packers would be a tougher matchup for Detroit.

They have the Vikings on the slate in Week 18 but there's a chance Detroit will be resting their players in preparation for the postseason.

Three teams from the NFC North will make the playoffs this season but Amon-Ra has a clear preference on who he would want to square off against.
