NFC North

Green Bay Packers 8-2

Green Bay got a bit lucky beating Carolina at a snowy Lambeau Field. Now they enter the bye week one game behind the Niners for the top seed in the NFC and look what team is on the Packers’ schedule next. After the Niners game, the Packers could theoretically run the table with their only tough game against Minnesota. Speaking of the Vikings . . .

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

Minnesota Vikings 7-3

They had a huge win against Dallas. Kirk Cousins won a primetime game. Minnesota a very good defense which should carry them to the playoffs. They could even win the division but that would take a Packers loss and the Vikings essentially running the table.

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