NFC North

Green Bay Packers 10-3

No one should trust the Packers right now. Their offense moves in fits and starts. The defense is susceptible to the run. Somehow they are currently the two seed. They need to show they can beat a Bears team that is currently surging. They then need to beat the Vikings in Minnesota. An 11-5 record and a wild card berth are not out of the question.

Remaining Schedule: Bears, @Vikings, Lions

Minnesota Vikings 9-4

Minnesota can not afford to slip up against the Chargers this weekend. They need to go to Los Angeles and win if the Vikings want any chance at winning the NFC North. They’ve looked good the past few weeks — even in their loss to Seattle — so Minnesota fans should prepare for some type of letdown because that’s what the Vikings have a history of doing to their fans.

Remaining Schedule: @Chargers, Packers, Bears
