The NFC North this year seems like the NFC East where many teams have legitimate shots at the division title... except for the Vikings. They will likely be happy with Christian Ponder developing for another season.
As for the other three, they all certainly have what it takes to win the NFC North. The Packers have one of the best QB's in the league with Aaron Rodgers leading the aerial assault. I'm more concerned with their defense overall. You might need a QB to win a title but a good defense is still required. The Bears might have both a good QB and defense but the D is getting old. Lance Briggs and Brian Urlacher are still two of the finest Linebackers in the game but their in the 30's now and could start to wear down. Urlacher is already fighting through an injury.
My pick for the NFC North is the Detroit Lions. That offense led by Matthew Stafford is phenomenal with Calvin Johnson to throw to and the defensive line led by Ndamukong Suh strikes fears in QB's everywhere. I think this is the Lions year to claim a division title and maybe more.
