NFC North 2010 Predictions

The NFC North should get shaken up a bit this year. I will let the predictions do the talking.

Green Bay Packers (12-4)
The Green Bay Packers have the most complete team in the NFC North. Behind New Orleans they are one of the best teams in the NFC. The divsion will go through the frozen tundra this year. They have an elite QB in Aaron Rodgers. With an awful offensive line last year he still had a pro bowl year. I think Rodgers is highly underated and a huge fan and like what he does and is capable of. I'm confident his game will setep up to an even higher level this season. Rodgers have some nice targets as well in WR Jennings, Driver and TE Lee. They have also worked on fixing that offensive line that caused them problems last year through both the draft and free agency. They also have a good defense ontop of their potent offense especially CB Charles Woodson. The one aspect of the game the Vikings have on the Packers is the running game but hard to beat Adrian Peterson. Even with AP still think the packers will represent the NFC North in the playoffs this year and have a chance to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl


Minnesota Vikings (10-6)
"Should I Stay or Should I go Now?" Grandpa time is playing that song over and over again for another off season he's just holding another NFC team hostage now. I think Favre will be back but I have to belive he won't have as remarkable of a year then he did last year coming off sergery.  With that said the Vikings still have a lot of talent but I can see a few less wins this year especially if Favre finally decides to call it quits so he can then be traded to Chicago so he con haunt two of his former teams. Adrian Peterson is obviously one of the elite RB in the game and he should produce again this year. The one drawback with Peterson is he is prone to fumble the ball he has to work on that. Vikings will have another sucesfull year and should get in the playoffs again this year.


Detroit Lions (8-8)
One of the suprise teams this year will be the Lions. Detroit fans should see a vast improvment over last year. QB Matthew Stafford is entering in his secound year and we should see an improvment in his game. He has a phenominal WR in Calvin Johnson and added a great recieving TE in Tony Scheffler. It was only two years ago in 2008 when Tony Scheffler and QB Jay Cutler were connecting big time and putting up great numbers in Denver. Also drafting Suh is a great move. He is a freakish athlete he literally just throws people to the ground he will be feared by oponents for years to come. The Lions have made a splash in Free Agency they were bussy retooling their team and they should see results this year. Granted I'm not ready to say the Lions are ready to compete with the Vikings and Packers but a 500 year is a sucess for a team who has been a 0-5 win team in recent years.

Chicago Bears (6-10)
Bad offensive line, bad running game, aging defense that isn't what it use to be, and no stars at the WR position. Jay Cutler proved last year he needs talent around him in all thoes areas to be sucessfull. Well Chicago still doesn't have much talent. Devin Hester being a number 1 WR is a joke. Last year Johny Knox showed some promise so there is a bright spot there. Matt Forte had a huge off year last year so if they have any hope for sucess he needs to imporve his game they did add Chester Taylor that was a good move on their part. They also signed Julius Peppers but one man can't turn the entire team around alone. And with limited draft picks this year (Denver had them all) they figured the best need was to draft a 3rd string QB. Unbelivable. The Bears will have another looisng year and Lovie Smith will be fired and they will clean house in Chicago.
