This Year’s Predictions For The NFC North
The NFC North, or as some affectionately call it, the “Norris division”, consistently churns out some of the most exciting playoff races the NFL has to offer. Last year, the North even produced the eventual Superbowl champs, the Green Bay Packers. Here is what to look for from the North teams this season:
Green Bay Packers: The Pack proved last season they are capable of winning it all, and that was AFTER being hit with the injury bug. This season, with their full roster healthy once again, expect more of the same. Prediction — 12 – 4
Minnesota Vikings: The quarterback woes’ for the Vikings are still in full effect, and the rest of the team isn’t getting any younger. Expect another year of mediocrity in Minnesota. Best case scenario? Wild Card birth. Prediction — 8-8
Chicago Bears: The Bears, who epitomize the phrase “million dollar defense and a two cent offense”, look to be headed toward the middle of the pack with the Vikings. Prediction — 8-8
Detroit Lions: The Lions have a lot of young, talented players – especially on the offensive side of the ball – but overall they are too green to challenge. Prediction — 7 – 9
