Right now there is a poll on ESPN.com asking the question:

Who will win the NFC North?

Currently, the bears lead.

Vote.

There is no way Detroit will do anything till they get rid of that mutton-headed Millen. I'm fine with Detroit losing all the time but they need to get rid of that dip$8!@ !

Well the Bears should win the NFC North, but it's far from a lock. They were the best team by far in the division last year (although they were somewhat overrated) and they didn't lose anyone very important. With their defence leading the way, they should win lots of games, especially considering that they have the weakest schedule in the NFL.

But the Vikings are a much improved team over last year, so it should be interesting.

yeah i expect the bears to do well again also. i don't care if they beat us both games in the regular season, as long as we beat them in the playoffs.

maybe they'll have a collapse like they did the year after going 13-3 under juaron, all on defense

There are so many idiot's that make a living talking about sports! Oh well, we'll just have to prove this guy wrong!

Unfortunately, I think the Bears probably will take the North this year... Their schedule is pitiful. Hopefully we can keep up and knock them out of the playoffs.

The Bears are not a "lock." The fudgepackers are going nowhere, so that leaves 2 teams which have undergone major overhauls and have tremendous talent (on paper) playing the X factor.

The Bears "scary" defense will not save them this season. Despite what others may say, offense will play the major role in the NFC North, and as for Grossman, he has yet to prove himself in the NFL. The only way I can see the Bears becoming a threat is if Orton or possibly Griese takes over at QB.

The only lock I see happening is the Vikings coming out and suprising everyone with how dam good we really are....That includes us taking the Bears for two games this year..
