NFC North

. Minnesota Vikings. 1. team. 60. The Vikes defense is insane. The injuries are an issue, but as long as the defense is in tact, the team will be okay. Bradford will have to carry the offense, and Stefon Diggs is an emerging star..

49. The Packers are having offensive troubles. Rodgers has struggled to start the year and people are overreacting. The Packers will be fine. Green Bay has a very easy schedule and things will most likely turn around.. . . Green Bay Packers. 2. team

50. The Lions looked good in week 1, going into Indianapolis and leaving with a win. Then they lost to Tennessee at home. Matt Stafford is really going to have to carry this team to get them to the postseason.. . . Detroit Lions. 3. team

57. The Bears lost Jay Cutler on Monday night. The season already looks lost and I would not be surprised if they have a top-5 draft pick.. . . Chicago Bears. 4. team

So far this has been an interesting season. Carson Wentz has come in and played better than expected the first two weeks. No one saw Bradford playing the way he did Sunday night. And Seattle has gotten off to another bumpy start. The NFL is just underway and things are already happening at a rapid pace, it should be a fun season.
