I like Minnesota as well, but as a wild card.

I think Minessota is good on both sides of the ball. Kyle Rudolph is just waiting for Bridgewater to get him them ball. Patterson is the most versatile receiver in the league. Jarius Wright will take it the distance. Harrison Smith ( no Pro Bowls) is the most underrated defensive player in the game today. Chad Greenway still has something left in the tank. Adrian Peterson will still be Adrian Peterson, just not every single game. Bridgewater has the help; he just has to play within himself and let the playmakers make the plays after he gets them the ball. The Vikings are on the ascend.

The juggled Vikings offensive line and the backup center are a big question mark for me. If Bridgewater and AP get enough protection, there's a big upside. If not, could be ugly.

Yep apparently you know what your talking about....Patterson is 3rd or 4th on depth chart & Wright 4th or 5th on depth chart with Thielen & Diggs in the mix. Neither have done anything at WR ever:rolleyes: They will be starting Charles Johnson & Mike Wallace.

I love how a lot of people have them propelled past the Packers for division champs & then ahead of the Lions also. Sure the Lions have a really tough schedule & the Vikings isn't any better this year We also have a healthy Calvin/Tate Combo and a decent D ourselves and Bell/Abdullah running combo should be good. The Viking O-line is filled with injuries and the Lions have a young O-line but we got some decent veteran help there hopefully to help out. Going to be interesting division for sure. The Packers picked up Jones who led the league for the Pack a couple years ago & they still have Rodgers and Lacy and one of the best O-lines in the league. Oh they still have Cobb & Adams to....

Patterson is a baller. The Vikings will take this division. I'm neither a Vikings nor Packers fan, but if Peterson can just be 80% of what he was, the Vikings' chances of winning the division are strong. Remember: the Vikings made the playoffs with Christian Ponder at the helm. Bridgewater, although still very young, is already better than Ponder ever has been. Losing Jordy Nelson was big for the Packers (probably the sixth best receiver in my mind). James Jones is a number three wideout at best, and has suspect hands. The Packers' defense is suspect also. I have the Packers in the playoffs, just not taking the division.

hahahahahaha, no he is not, he is horrible WR, but a good KR. Unfortunately teams just kicked the ball out of the endzone last year and rendered him useless. If he was 80% of what he was he would be 26 receptions, 307 rec yards, .8 TDs, 700 return yards and 0 return TDs. Holy helllllllll BALLLLLLLERRRRRRRR

Losing Nelson does hurt, but Rodgers is still Rodgers. Cobb, Jones, Dick Rodgers, Adams, Janis, Lacy are still a great set of skill players. And Jones use to have suspect hands, but he has drastically improved since 2011.

The Packers may have the best defense they have had in years. Their secondary is solid, and the 2nd half of the season last year they were a great run D, and that is due to moving Mathews inside (which is where he will be this year).

2014 4.5%
2013 3.2%
2012 2.0%
2011 7.3%
2010 6.9%

But hey, I guess you could just write stuff that was not true and hope that people will lap up the BS.

We'll see. The Vikings will win this division. I'm already on record saying it. Pull this thread back up late-December.

I don't care about your prediction. I was pointing out the incorrect statements in your post. You should be a bleacher report blog writer...

Part of having a conversation is bringing up facts, and presenting a unbiased and truthful argument. Unfortunately you did neither, you just pulled crap out of your ... and expected people to just believe you. I was just pointing out the inaccuracies.

------

I predict Chicago will have the best team in the NFC North. 6x MVP Jay Cutler is going to have another 7000 yard season, and even if he performs at 80% he will destroy Aaron Rodgers and the Packers like they have since Cutler arrived in 1856 BC. Chicago is easily the favorite after their back to back 19-0 seasons where their defense gave up -15 points all year and 12 teams forfeited due to severe incontinence.

My picks aren't too far off so far. Got 9 of the 12 teams in the playoffs after week 10. Going to be interesting to see how things play out.

[beaver1080]

9 of 12 but still pretty solid prediction so far

[starfox]

Manning is old; it's already starting to show.
That's one prediction, although an obvious one.

I have the Packers in the playoffs, just not taking the division.
Save for the Cordarrele Patterson and James Jones part, here is another prediction holding steady. The Vikes are taking this division. I know there's a lot of football left, but the Vikings are on the upswing. And if what Peterson did yesterday was any indication of what's to come.... Uh oh.

[jsnake89]

I knew this would be fun to go back and talk about, man i was was really off on the Dolphins and Colts.
