NFC North

Green Bay Packers 8-2

If the Packers want the top seed in the NFC their next game is their most important game. They might need to run the table to just win the NFC North. The top of the NFC is tight. The good news is that outside of the Niners and Vikings, the Packers should be heavily favored in the rest of their games.

Remaining Schedule: @Niners, @Giants, Redskins, Bears, @Vikings, Lions

Minnesota Vikings 8-3

The Vikings enter their bye and get Seattle coming out of their week of rest. That’s probably the best situation for a team having to travel to the Pacific Northwest. Minnesota feels like it could slip up somewhere else on the schedule. They had to come back at home against the Broncos. If they fall behind against a team with an actual quarterback and an actual offense, they might not come back. Good thing those types of teams aren’t on their schedule outside of Seattle and Green Bay.

Remaining Schedule:  @Seahawks, Lions, @Chargers, Packers, Bears
