Asok opened up the season prediction pool over at The Wisconsin Sports Bar. Since I still have a key there, I’ll repost my no-study predictions for the season here:
NFC North
Minnesota (Good – Adrian Peterson is enough in this division. Bad – If an opposing team can figure out how to tackle AP, the Vikes are done. Record – 9-7)
Chicago (Good – They still have a special special team, and the aging defense should have a few stops left in them. Bad – That defense is aged, and the disappearance of Brett Favre from the division won’t mean they’ll go through fewer QBs than Green Bay. Record – 7-9)
Green Bay (Good – As long as injuries and tall physical receivers don’t hit the defense, they’ll be able to stop people. Bad – There will be 8 people crowding the offensive line almost every down, and the departure of Favre means they’ll be going through as many QBs as the Bears. Record – 5-11)
Detroit – (Good – I honestly can’t think of any. Bad – They’re still run by Matt Millen. Record – 3-13)

Must have been painful to put MN in the top spot!
Very painful, but somebody has to win the division. I have no faith in Wile E. Thompson (mud), Chicago is too old, and Detroit is, well, Detroit.
