I haven't watched as much NFC North as I should have, but I broadly agree with your assessment.
I still don't totally believe in the Vikings, but they've run up enough wins that they'd have to have some major setbacks to miss the playoffs. I'll go ahead and predict them to lose their Wild Card matchup.
The Bears defense has looked really good to me. I wish the Raiders would watch their tape and start hitting the other team hard enough to put them in the turf. I think they'll be volatile for the rest of the way as Caleb encounters various rookie speedbumps. I think they'll miss the playoffs mostly because their divisional rivals will beat up on them.
I'm a believer in the Lions and Packers, without reservation. Only injuries can derail them (unfortunately, they already have plenty of those).
I think we are in agreement. I am not totally sold on the Vikings either but take a look at this remaining schedule:
Lions
Rams
Colts
Jags
Titans
Bears
Cardinals
Falcons
Bears
Seahawks
Packers
Lions
I don't see them losing all 5 remaining division games. But even if they lost 4, where are many other losses coming from?
reply
Sometimes you see losses snowball. Those are a lot of teams that aren't much worse than I think the Vikings are.
Let's say they lose 4 division games and Seattle beats them.
Could they lose 4/6 to those other teams? It does seem unlikely, especially with the Jags being in there.
reply
I guess we will see. I could seem them having a losing streak in that Falcons-Lions game that end the season.
But I go through the list and say could the Colts, Cardinals, Falcons, Seahawks all beat them. Sure but are they going to lose to all of them? Probably not.

Should we rank the divisions on the podcast this week? That might be a fun segment.
reply
Sure
We each bring our list and then compare them?
