1. Detroit Lions

Lessons were learned from last season and the secondary has been shored up. Time to see if they can take it all the way to a Super Bowl.

2. Green Bay Packers

They were one bad half away from getting to the NFC Championship game. Can QB Jordan Love repeat what he accomplished last season in his first year as the starter?

3. Chicago Bears

The reset button has been pushed at quarterback in Chicago once again. For their sake they better have gotten this one right.

4. Minnesota Vikings

We’ll have to wait until next year to see how rookie QB J.J. McCarthy does in Minnesota. For the time being QB Sam Darnold will be the replacement for the departed Kirk Cousins.

1. Detroit Lions

If they get off to a better start this season, they should run away with this division.

2. Minnesota Vikings

Last year wasn’t a fluke in that they remain a playoff contender, but they are not a 13-win team going into this season.

3. Green Bay Packers

No more Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. It’s time to see if head coach Matt LaFleur can stay afloat.

4. Chicago Bears

They are going all in on QB Justin Fields. He has plenty of targets to throw to now without having to rush for over 1,000 yards again.
