NFC North Preview

So many good stories to cover in the NFC North. Perhaps the biggest deal in the off season involved Jay Cutler going to the Bears. The Bears now have a great quarterback for the first time in decades. However they may not have the receivers to make him fully effective. The next big off season story that no one likes to hear anymore is Brett Favre coming back to the NFL, this time to play for the Vikings. I can't wait for the Vikings and Packers rivalry this season: Favre Vs. Rodgers. Packers Past vs. it's future. Meanwhile the worst team in football has gotten a little better with Matthew Stafford. They do have a lot of potential still with the team and a new coach named Jim Schwartz but still have a long way to go.

My Prediction: Vikings pillage the North. The Vikings were the division winner last year with what they had and will it again this year with Brett Favre. They now have a solid defense, ground game and a complete aerial assault with receivers and now a good Quarterback. The Bears to me are a solid second. They have had a good defense for the last few seasons and now Cutler will help take some of the defensive pressure off the Bears. The Packers are still third in my book. They have improved the team a bit but the Vikings and Bears seem better in my opinion. The Lions are still last in my book. Culpepper will probably start the year with Stafford playing somewhere in the middle of the season. The Lions however still need a lot more than a quarterback from college to get back to the playoffs.
