NFL: Predicting The NFC North Standings
By Evan Massey
How will the NFC North end up with the NFL season finished up over the next few weeks?
The NFL season is over half of the way finished, and there is still quite an entertaining race to keep an eye on in the NFC North division. All four teams in the division could potentially come away with a division win this season, but there are only two teams that have been playing at a high level consistently all season long.
Both the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions appear to be the two teams with the best chances to win the division, with the Lions holding a one game lead and a head-to-head win over the Packers. The Minnesota Vikings are currently 4-5 and third place in the division, while the extremely disappointing Chicago Bears are just 3-5 and last place in the NFC North. It isn’t likely that either the Vikings or the Bears can come back, but there is still a chance.
That being said, both the Lions and Packers are going to have a tough battle down the stretch of the season. Green Bay is still favored by most to come away with the division, but the Lions are a quality football team that have shown consistency and the ability to come through in clutch situations to pull out victories.
How will the NFC North finish out this season, and how will the teams’ records look when everything is said and done?
