The NFC North. A division that houses two franchises that are near a century old in the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears. The first franchise to reach four Super Bowls in the Minnesota Vikings and then you have the Detroit Lions. A team that is still haunted by the ghost of Bobby Layne.

For the approaching season, the return of wide receiver Jordy Nelson has many buzzing about a serious Super Bowl run for the Green Bay Packers. The Lions now have to figure out what football life is like without the services of longtime wide receiver Calvin Johnson. The Vikings surprisingly won the NFC North division in 2015 behind their thoroughbred running back Adrian Peterson and a stingy defense that was fifth in the league in points allowed. In Chicago, head coach John Fox and general manager Ryan Pace rolled back the sleeves and quite possibly molded the Bears into a playoff team starting in 2016 with the work done by way of the draft and free agency. Now to start the predictions for each NFC North team.
