A QB DRIVEN League...2012 NFC NORTH Predictions...Can the PACKERS duplicate 2011? Is the BEARS New Offense just as Explosive as Packers? Will the MOTOR CITY'S Defense rise up to meet the Offense? Can the PURPLE PEOPLE stay out of the NFC NORTH Basement?

Only the AFC North can rival the NFC North with 3 Teams looking to put their Stamp all over NFC Winning Time in January. The Packers are the Toast of the NFC North but the Lions and Bears have both Retooled and look to make some hay in 2012. The Vikings look to say above Water in the North with a Semi-Healthy All Day AP.

What will it take for the Bears and Lions to get the NFC North Crown? Can the Packers Defense survive the loss of leading Tackler in 2011 OLB Desmond Bishop? The Vikings look to be on a Youth Movement and PercyLand Harvin will get the Work Load until AP can get on Healthy Feet and Legs.

Predicted Order of Finish in the NFC North

Bears 12-4
Packers 12-4
Lions 10-6
Vikings 4-12

BEARS: They needed to sure up a Few Areas and id it In House and a Trade here and there. The Bears signed RB Matt Forte and then traded for Aqua Boyz 305 WR Brandon Marshall. All that with a Healthy QB in Jay Cutler and WR/PR/KR Devin "I can't Take a Hit" Hester. Te O-line will have to improve and if they keep Cut clean in the Pocket there is no doubt in my mind a Special Season is Upon "Monsters of the Midway" Nation. Watch out for 2012 Rookies WR Alshon Jeffrey and TE Evan Rodriguez. The Defense has some concerns with MLB Brian Urlacher Surgery a Week or so ago. They still have Julius Peppers and Lance Briggs in that Box. The Corners are really good with Peanut Tillman and Tim Jennings. The Only Concern the Bears will have going into the Season is that Safety Position as they are still waiting on Major Wright to come to.

PACKERS: They still have the #1 QB in A-Rog and they got a Steal late for the Offensive Arsenal in Free Agent RB and Former Bear Cedric Benson. Arguably the  #1 Weapons on the Outside in Sunday Tackle Football and a Nice O-Line to boot. The Concern with the Packers is never been the Offense but the Defense has to get up to Speed or they will be in the same predicament they were in Last Season when it came to Winning Time. The Pack used all their 2012 Draft Picks on Defense and rightfully so which still doesn't mean they are vastly improved. Until I see a Difference in that D they are not the Best Team on Sunday and in 2012 maybe not even the Best Team in the North.

LIONS: Staff and MEGAtron alone are worth every bit of the Ticket and the Hype for the Lions Nation. If it was a 7 on 7 drill the Lions would most likely be the Favorite. JUMBOtron, Burlison, and Titus Young are no pushovers themselves. The Running Game concerns me and if you think Staff can Last throwing the Pigskin 45-50 Timer per...his chances of getting injured increase as well as the Lions O becoming very Predictable. RB Mikel Leshoure, who has a Couple Games Suspension, appears to be the Back they may be able to lean on later on. The Defense is lead by Tulloch, SUH, Avril, and the back end in Pro Bowl Caliber Safety Louis Delmas. Their are Major Holes at Corner and Linebacker and the Lions look to take a Step Back in 2012. Don't forget Lions Nation MEGAtron is on the 2K13 Madden Cover and if you don't believe the Madden Curse check out my Post a Few Months back. Put Madden Curse in Finder Box in the Left Hand Corner of my Blog and it should come up.

VIKINGS: The Vikes look like they found one in QB Christian Ponder but the Bad News is the Health of Star RB Adrian Peterson and at what Percentage will he be to Start the Season. They have Percy Harvin and RB Toby Gerhardt who should fill in nicely for All Day AP. They have a Minimal Weapons on the Outside and that will hurt the Vikes in the Vertical Game. The Defense is led by DT Kevin Williams, DE Jared Allen, and LB Chad Greenway. Outside of that the Vikes look to .500 at Best with the Three Teams they have to play in the North Twice and their 2012 Schedule.
