The Packers claimed the NFC North (12-4), but the Lions were right on their tails (11-5).

The biggest thing the Packers have to face is the loss of Jordy Nelson.

Nelson tore his ACL against the Steelers during the preseason.

It’s a huge loss, but let’s be honest, that offense is still stacked.

Rodgers will still be a top quarterback and Lacy is a freak of nature, bowling over defenders left and right.

In the words of Aaron Rodgers, R-E-L-A-X, the Packers will be alright.

The Lions are fun to watch, on offense that is.

Matthew Stafford slinging the ball to Calvin Johnson and Golden Tate is sure to get people off their seats.

The defense held their own last year, but will need more of the same this season in order to compete with Green Bay.

Johnson is only getting older and has battled injuries the last two seasons.

The Lions will need Megatron to get back to his ways when he was the best receiver, just three years ago.

The Minnesota Vikings are my sleepers.

They get Adrian Peterson back, Teddy Bridgewater is a nice, young QB, and their defense is sick.

The Vikings went 7-9 last year with Bridgewater started half the season, and no Peterson.

They even gave him weapons like Mike Wallace.

Watch out for the Vikings in 2015.

The Chicago Bears are hit or miss.

It all falls on the shoulders of Jay Cutler.

Most people do not give Cutler the light of day, I actually think he is underrated (I might hear about this later).

It is the Forte and Jeffery show on offense.

They will have to have Pro Bowl years in a very tough NFC North.

Even with the loss of Nelson, I still the Packers winning the NFC North, and making a deep run in the playoffs.
