NFC North predictions

NFC North
#1 Vikings- If not for key offseason addition of Brett Favre,i wouldnt be putting the Vikings at the top. The past few years the Vikings have had all the talent necessary for a superbowl run,but have been stopped short because of lack of talent at the quarterback position. Now,with future hall of famer Brett Favre,the Vikings are almost sure handed to make the playoffs if not the superbowl. My only concern is the suspensions of Pat and Kevin Williams. The loss of those two run stuffers would be a great loss.

#2 Packers- Aaron Rogers looked very impressive last year,and I expect even better performance this year with more experiance. He definatly has the targets to have a huge fantasy year and possible playoff run with Greg Jennings,Donald Driver,and second year player Jordy Nelson. My biggest concern for the Packers is there awful pass defense,who rated dead last in terms of passing yards allowed.

#3 Bears- Untill Jay Cutler gets a clear cut #1 receiver (not Devin Hester) i dont see much production from this passing game. Matt Forte had an amazing rookie season last year, and theres no reason not to repeat last season. The defense is solid,although i am not sure who will fill the void of saftey Mike Brown.

#4 Lions- Dont expect the Lions to have a big comeback season. They have question marks at the QB position on deciding whether to start rookie M.Stafford or veteran D.Cullpepper. Kevin Smith proved himself last year as a reliable and solid back,so i expect a lot more of him this year in terms of production. Im going to be nice on the Lions and just say there offensive of line is...well...bad at best. The defense is still pretty bad as well,so i see this season as being a "dont go 0-16 season again",rather than a "Were going all the way" season.
