1. Bears 11-5
2. Lions 8-8
3. Vikings 8-8
4. Packers 8-8

Alright, the Bears have a sufficient offense and a tough defense. The team will win between 10-13 games. The team did nothing to change the team, but it didn't need to. Everyone picks the other three teams to win between 5-7 games. Here's the reasoning for all 3 to be at or around .500. The Lions offense is well built with Kitna (yes, Kitna), Jones, Bell, Williams, Furrey and Johnson. Problem is the defense only looks a tad better than last year's horrible one, which will not be good enough to get them over .500. Considering they won only 3 games last year, the 7 or 8 I see will be a much improvement. The Vikings got Peterson to run the ball behind a solid O-line. The defense is good but can Jackson lead the team. I think not. If the team had a respectable QB they'd win 10 games. The Packers are everyone's lock for 2nd place, but that may not happen. They have a nice defense but Favre and Driver are getting really old and they lack a big time back. last year's 8 wins may have been a mirage, getting 7 will be a tough task even in a weak division.
