NFC North predictions

Packers
I think that the Packers are going to have a good season. Last year they had a good regular season but got surprised in the first round of the playoffs. This made people think that they were just an average team that happened to make it to the playoffs and isn't a really good team. But, in truth, they are one of the premier teams in the league. Just because they play in the same division as Brett Favre and the Vikings who are supposed to be really good. That makes them less under the radar than they should be. I think they will have a really good year this year. Aaron Rodgers has turned into a really good QB and they have Ryan Grant who is a great running back. They also have a really good defense which will help them give the ball back to their offense which can score easily. I think that if the Vikings bust this year the Packers will win the division, but if the Vikings have the year they expect to have the Packers might have to settle for the Wild Card this year.
Lions
The laughing stock of the NFL will actually have a somewhat good year this year. Matthew Stafford has proven to be a good leader and NFL quarterback. They have a pretty good defense with the rookie Suh. So they do have a well rounded team with a good leader at quarterback. But this team has so much negative energy following them that it might be hard to have a winning season. I don't think they will have won this year, but they might get to even. There is almost no way they get to the playoffs. There are too many teams that are good in the NFC and in this division period for the Lions to get to the playoffs. But maybe next year they might have a chance to win the wild card. I still think that a super bowl is 5 or more years away. But this team is moving in the right direction. So I think that they will go either 7-9 or 8-8. If they get to a winning season, I will be surprised.
Bears
This team is the one that I am going to talk about the most. They are my favorite team so I do no more about them and I know what I expect them to do and what I really think they can do. They do have a quarterback who is supposed to be good in Jay Cutler. They do have a running back who had a bad year last year, but a good rookie year. Now they have a different Offensive coordinator. I think that all these pieces put together will make a better team than expected. The defense won't be as good as it has been recently, but it will still be a good defense. With a good defense like this and an offense that might play much better than last year, this team could get more wins than anybody thinks this team is capable of. I'm not sure if its enough to beat out the Vikings or Packers, because they are going to be good teams. But I do think they are going to have a winning season. I'm thinking somewhere around 9-7 maybe 10-6 if we're lucky.
