Minnesota is picked to have the most wins in the NFC North, but the win total for the Green Bay Packers in Pro Football Focus' model might be surprising. With difficult schedules for every NFC North team, the win totals in the division are surprisingly low, but perhaps more surprising is how closely all four teams are grouped together.
While Vegas has the Packers getting 10 wins, PFF's model shows that Green Bay is projected to have just eight wins, about the same as Detroit and one more than Chicago, but only a half game less in the projections than Minnesota. With only a couple of wins separating each team in the division, which faces a tough schedule this season, it's one of the most wide-open divisions in the NFL.
PFF gives the Packers a 25% chance to win the NFC North, while the Vikings have about a 34% chance.
