NFC North

Minnesota Vikings 10-6

Chicago Bears 9-7

Green Bay Packers 7-9

Detroit Lions 6-10

This division is tough to call.  None of the teams seem like they can overpower the rest of the NFL.  However they may have the best top three teams within a division.

Sure, the Packers are given a 7-9 record here but if Aaron Rodgers returns to being Aaron Rodgers and stay healthy, they will finish better than 7-9 and stay in the hunt for a wild card.

A lot of things will have to go right for the Packers to win the division, but it can happen.  Expect the Vikings and Bears to duke it out and likely comes down to their two head to head games in 2019.

Playoff contenders: Vikings, Bears

Detroit definitely has very good players but they may have let too many guys go.  They have a stud receiver in Kenny Golladay but it won’t be nearly enough.
