The NFL offseason brings a different dynamic to the NFL season in it’s own methodical way. Let’s produce one offseason prediction for each NFC North team

The NFC North is known for it’s cold, frigid weather and hard-nosed football. This past season saw the Green Bay Packers win the division at 10-6 but of course, that came with a little uneasiness. The Minnesota Vikings started 5-0 but a loss on the road to the Eagles started a spiral that led to the Vikes ending the season at 8-8 and playoff-less.

A 9-7 year unfolded for the Detroit Lions and on based on preseason standards, they exceeded expectations placed upon them. How they build off this past season will be interesting moving forward. In Chicago, the Bears are still trying to repair their roster going into year three of the John Fox era in the Windy City.

Let’s dive into one offseason prediction for each NFC North team.
