NFC North

Standard

1. Minnesota Vikings

They invested over $80 million in Kirk Cousins and the Vikings expect a nice return.

2. Detroit Lions

A new voice on the sidelines might just be what this team needs to finally win consistently.

3. Green Bay Packers

NFC North

Standard

1. Green Bay Packers

Aside from a shortage of reliable pass-rushers, this team doesn’t have many flaws with Aaron Rodgers at the helm.

2. Minnesota Vikings

NFC North

Standard

1. Green Bay Packers

Easily a favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl with their depth and of course Aaron Rodgers at QB.

2. Minnesota Vikings

A likely candidate for surprise playoff contender with Teddy Bridgewater’s improvement and Adrian Peterson’s return.

3. Detroit Lions

Losing one defensive lineman doesn’t mean you lose more games, but in this case it does.

4. Chicago Bears
