 Minnesota Vikings
One first, two seconds and a third: Those weren’t the numbers many Minnesota Vikings fans were expecting as some of the leading preseason prognosticators published their predictions this week for the 2008 order of finish in the NFC North. Only one publication, Lindy’s, has Minnesota finishing first in its division, while The Sporting News...

1. Packers (Aaron Rodgers may be greener than the jersey, but the rest of Green Bay's team is beyond solid.)

2. Vikings

3. Bears

4. what's that other team in this division...?

Cheers,

Os.

As Much as it pains me to say it...I think the Packers take the division as well. I think it'll be an 11-5 vs 10-6 type win though. Only by a game, and they probably split the season series 1-1.

And like all teams, injuries can play a huge part so we never really know what's going to happen do we? Neither QB has stayed healthy for long stetches.

That being said...GO VIKES!!

(Good call Os...poor poor Lions fans, wait...ARE there any Lions fans left actually?)

The North should be interesting. I don't really consider the Bears that big of a threat. They'll play a lot of close games if their D holds up but Devin Hester can't be their sole scorer. The Lions have the potential to surprise but I think it will definitely come down to the Packers and the Vikes. A quarterback starting his first season vs. a second year running back that's already being compared to Hall of Famers. The Packers seem to be the safe choice, but I think the Vikings have what it takes. If Adrian Peterson is healthy and Jackson can be safe with the ball, their D should be able to hold up well enough to put them in the double digits in wins.
