Who will win the NFC North Division?

I know it's April and before the NFL draft which can change everything but I thought this would be interesting to post for all you NFL followers out there.

Who's going to win the NFC North this year?

Chicago

I know there is a lot of hype with Chicago and Cutler. Granted it's pretty legit. With Orton they were 9-7 and Kyle didn't play all the games. With no WR's they almost won the division. I could see them winning a game or two more with Jay at QB. Can their defense hold up? Getting older but these guys have all the experience. Forte and Olsen will be better with Cutler around.

Minnesota Vikings

They got all the talent at every position except one...QB. T.Jackson if he's the man he better improve and not turn the ball over. There is a reason why they got Rosenfel to compete and or back him up. I think the win the division if they get good QB play. Their defense is great and AP is amazing.

Green Bay Packers

2 years ago in the NFC championship game marching down the field in OT vs the Giants to go to the Superbowl. What happens? INT by Favre. I say all that to say this one game away from the Superbowl the next year Favre retires and wants to come back the Franchise says no Aaron is now our guy. They are nowwhere close to the record they needed to be. Is it Rodgers fault? No he played better than Favre did and would have. The defense let them down! If they can go back to form and with that #9 overall pick select a DE who will have immediate impact then they are winning the division. They have some great offensive weapons and need to improve their running game.

Detroit Lions.

0-16 to winning the division. No way. Well the Dolphins were 1-15 and won their division last year. Here's the difference they got the Big Tuna as GM. Granted Detroit has changed leadership. But they traded for Chad Pennington. Drafting Stafford is a good move but there is no way he's going to be as poised as the veteran Pennington. Even if he plays as well as Matt Ryan does he doesn't have the weapons. Calvin is a stud and Kevin Smith is pretty good but this team is rebuilding and this draft is crucial for them. 5-11 at best.

Who's going to win??? I am hoping for the Packers, it could be the Bears but I am thinking the Vikings unless the QB play is subpar then either Packers or Bears will take it.
