Pro Football: NFC North Preview

Last year it looked as if the Green Bay Packers would be dethroned as NFC North champions. However, they rallied while both the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions faltered, allowing the Packers to claim their third straight divisional title.

Interestingly, the Packers won but one playoff game after those three divisional title seasons from (2011-2013) but won four, including their fourth Super Bowl title after qualifying for the 2010 playoffs as one of two NFC wild card teams.

This year once again Green Bay is the favorite and a rather prohibitive one, at one to three and a half odds.

I believe they will win another crown but not before a fierce battle for the top spot with the Detroit Lions.

The Chicago Bears will go (8-8) while the Minnesota Vikings will improve to a (7-9) record.
