1.) Chicago Bears: Projected Record: 9-7 - Playoff Bound
The Chicago Bears have been a very pleasant surprise this season. QB Kyle Orton got the team off to a quick start, aided by the stellar play of rookie RB Matt Forte. The play of the defense has led me to quickly write off last season as an anomaly as they have played very sound football. While a loss is normally a mental loss as well, last week's 21-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans was a moral victory, as it showed that the team can play well while Orton is out with injury.
2.) Minnesota Vikings: Projected Record: 9-7
The Minnesota Vikings are not far from being a very serious threat in the NFC. However, as a result of the lack of good QB play, the Vikings, according to my predictions, just miss the play offs. Adrian Peterson has been nothing but spectacular this year, just as he was in his rookie campaign. The defense, much like last year, has been great as well. Vikings fans hold in there, you are only one piece away!
3.) Green Bay Packers: Projected Record: 8-8
Following in the foot steps of Brett Favre is no easy task, and even compared to the prolific Favre, Rodgers is doing a very good job on all accounts. Unfortunately, unlike last year, the running game has not been as effective, and the defense is not the turn-over machine it was last year.
4.) Detroit Lions: Projected Record: 0-16
If you have not seen the Detroit Lions play, make some time, you are sure to see an offensive display both through the air, and on the ground. The only problem for Lions fans is, that, the display is coming from the opposing team. The Lions give a new definition to bad. This season, they have lost each of their games in a convincing manner, putting on almost no fight at all. I am sorry Lions fans, you are in for a long ride.
