1. Green Bay Packers

Regardless of what happens this season, this will be QB Aaron Rodgers’ last year in Green Bay. Get your popcorn ready.

2. Minnesota Vikings

The window is just about shut for this team to be serious contenders. QB Kirk Cousins cannot start this season like he did in 2020.

3. Chicago Bears

The front office admitted they made a mistake drafting QB Mitch Trubisky and traded up to select QB Justin Fields. Whom they believe will help keep their jobs…I mean get to the playoffs.

4. Detroit Lions

Their house was cleaned from top to bottom. There will be growing pains this season, but the structure is in place.
