commentary...

the NFC North is going to be a tough division to win this season... you have the two-time defending division champion,in the Packers... the weakest spot for the Packers is the offensive line,and their defensive backfield is young,and inexperienced,but very talented... the Minnesota Vikings have improved on offense,except for Christian Ponder,who has talent,but has been erratic,and they have a very good defensive backfield,but their weakest spot is at the linebacker position... the Chicago Bears have not improved too much on offense,and their weakest spot,besides their offensive line,is the temperament of their quarterback,Jay Cutler... get Cutler upset,and he loses interest in the game... the Detroit Lions have many weaknesses on defense(only one pass rusher,and a not very good defensive backfield)... when you gave up over 20+ points/per game(and they lost the last eight games,to go,4-12,last season),you are going to lose a ton of games,even though wide receiver Calvin Johnson broke Jerry Rice's NFL receiving yards record,with nearly 2,000 yards receiving,last season... note:except for Harrison Smith,for the Vikings,and the youth of the Packers' defensive backfield:the rest of the NFC North teams' defensive backfields are nearly over age 30(first string),of every team,except for the Packers... it will be interesting to see who wins,this season...
