Chicago Bears will win the NFC North in 2020, and here’s 5 reasons why

2. Turmoil Within The Division

The NFC North is an interesting division this season that’s littered with storylines. The obvious one has to do with the Green Bay Packers and their star quarterback. Jordan Love was their first-round draft pick as a future replacement for Aaron Rodgers. The problem here is Rodgers wanted the Packers to draft extra offensive help. Instead, the Packers drafted a quarterback with four seasons left on Rodgers’ contract. Basically, they proved they don’t plan to keep their star through his current deal.

Then, there’s the weirdness that’s happening in Minnesota. They traded Stefon Diggs to Buffalo. Now, Dalvin Cook is refusing to take part in camp until he’s given a new contract. It sounds like the two parties are very far apart. This will likely go into the preseason. This means a majority of the Vikings storylines and the questions they must answer will have to do people who aren’t even in the room.

Then, there are the Lions. They do get Matthew Stafford back, which will help, but another Matt is the problem. Matt Patricia is still the head coach. Most analysts thought the Lions were going to move on this past offseason, but ownership surprisingly decided to stick with the former Patriots coordinator.

The NFC North is full of major controversies. Except the Bears. Their biggest controversy was not signing the fifth-year option for Mitchell Trubisky. Other than that, everything is going to work itself out on the field. Even the QB race will work itself out on the field. Being able to focus on football will give the Bears a leg up on its competition.
