The NFC North is a division in which arguments can be made for all four teams making the playoffs, and all four teams have a long-term plan in place at quarterback.
Minnesota, winners of the division a season ago, signed Kirk Cousins to a megadeal, and have the division's toughest defense.
Green Bay's season was derailed by Aaron Rodgers' broken collarbone a year ago, but if Rodgers is healthy, the Packers are a near-lock for the postseason.
Detroit has a quarterback who can light up the scoreboard, and with head coach Matt Patricia coming over from New England, could see some overall improvement.
Chicago is the toughest case to argue, but they are all-in on Mitch Trubisky at quarterback, and in the NFL, it doesn't take much to go from worst to first.
