12ths 2007 NFC NORTH PREDICTIONS

Great analysis 12th.

The only thing I would change is that the Vikings probably aren't going to get anywhere near 8 wins. Or 6.

But, IMO, the rest of your analysis is dead on.

You bring up a good point. I think there is only a certain number of games that can be won and lost in the division over the course of the season.

Don't ask me the formula though.


WHat's the formula?
JK.
It's a good prediction none the less 12thman.

This division really sums up the state of today's nfl. Other than the bears, each team is so lacking in any positive identity. The one team that seems to be on course to creating an identity is the Lions, they just signed CJ & they ended last year strong, loved that Dallas game. I wouldn't put money on J. Kitna's prediction, but I wouldn't be surprised if they score a lot of points & win 9 games. The Pack & Vikings, I have no idea how they'll do, but I see 8 wins as their max. Favre will have his moments but it won't be enough. The vikes always have a solid roster but they have a lot of holes to fill. Tavaris Jackson is exciting.

You're right about parity in the NFL these days. If for some reason the Bears have meltdown, I could see the Vikes winning 8 games.

I see the Vikes doing well. Decent line, great defense, inexperience at QB, very good RBs. Run the rock, play defense, and expect lots of passes to that TE they paid a ton for.

By good, between 6-9 wins and 2nd in the division.
