These threads were great at the beginning of last year.

So remember what you post will be in the database for us to laugh at later. (Im looking at you Clay)
Ok so i think it would be pretty foolish to pick anyone except the Bears at the top of this Division. Everyone else has gotten a little better, but not by much, whereas the Bears only real loss was Thomas Jones, which is significant, but not a back breaker. Rex Grossman will be the key for the Bears, but according to John Clayton the O is looking great.
That leaves the Vikings, Packers, and Lions all fighting for second and in the NFC a possible Wild card spot. I pick the Lions simply because they seem to have the most talented team out of the three, and will be playing a last place schedule. Still with this division playing the tough (except Oakland) AFC west, and the pretty good and unpredictable NFC East. The winner of this division (Da Berrssss) could probably only be 10-6. The Pack pretty much stood still with no big moves this off season(?), and the Vikes have a talented team behind a Project QB who will play some tough defenses all year. So I look for them to be in the Brian Brohm bowl at the end of the year.
1-Bears 11-5
2-Lions 7-9
3-Packers 6-10
4-Vikings 3-13
