Nick Wright's NFC North Prediction 1. Detroit Lions 2. Chicago Bears 3. Green Bay Packers 4. Minnesota Vikings
Chris Broussard's NFC North Prediction 1. Detroit Lions 2. Chicago Bears 3. Green Bay Packers 4. Minnesota Vikings
but I do think the Vikings are fourth. I like Green Bay third. Detroit's second, and the Chicago bears win the division.
I I I do have them finishing last. Wow. I'm reaching the Lions one.
I had the Minnesota Vikings at four... At number three, I believe I had the Detroit Lions... At number two, we have the Green Bay Packers. And then coming in at number one, the big You got the Bears winning the NFC North? Yeah.
But I got a Packers Lions and Vikings, but it could possibly flip flip because they they get no pressure without Michael Parsons.

ESPN put together their latest NFL power rankings. Their experts got together to rank all 32 teams... the Cowboys landing 15th overall... They are second in the NFC East, however, with only the Philadelphia Eagles (No. 5) ahead of them. The Washington Commanders (No. 20) and New York Giants (No. 24) round out the division.
I have them winning the division... Kansas City gets a slight edge to me. Raiders could be the best fourth plays team in football
I think Carolina will vie for the division title and a playoff spot. I like the top two teams. Tampa Bay... I'm going to pick Atlanta. For fourth place.
I'm going to go with Baltimore... Cincinnati, I have as a new playoff team... Steelers... Cleveland, I don't hate them.
I'll take. Them to win the division. New England's schedule is much tougher... The Jets in third... Dolphins are rebuilding... I'll pick them easily for fourth.
