Well, the NFL season is upon us. It started last night with a matchup between the world champions, the Seattle Seahawks, against the Green Bay Packers.

This was a good starting game for the season. Some believe this could be a preview of the NFC Championship game. The Packers won the NFC North by the skin of their teeth last season, scoring a touchdown in the final moments of the last regular season game against the Chicago Bears.

The NFC North will be interesting this season. The teams struggled a bit last season, as the Packers won the division with just an 8-7-1 record. There is a lot of talent in the division (especially at quarterback), and that talent will show itself more this season. This should be a very competitive division, and one of the better divisions in the NFL.

We will take a look at this division. Figure out the strengths and weaknesses of each team. We will also predict the final won-loss record, and which of these teams will make it to the playoffs. Will the Packers repeat again? Will Jay Cutler finally break through? Will Ndamukong Suh snap someone’s neck? We will have the answers for you.
