Week 7 NFC North Predictions

It's time for some predictions on Week 7 in the NFC North.


Minnesota @ Chicago
Chicago, Illinois

The Bears will be wearing their unique orange jerseys as it is getting close to Halloween. It is also an "Orange-out" so if you're going to the game WEAR ORANGE!

I look for the Bears to come out strong in this one. Yes, both teams have the same record, 3-3, but I think that Chicago is the better team. Last week the Vikings beat Detroit on a last second field goal. They're going to have to play much better than that if they want to beat the Bears in Soldier Field.

My pick: Chicago


Detroit @ Houston
Houston, Texas

The Texans have looked like a much better team than they have in the past, and definitely than the Lions have looked this year.

The Texans running game should flourish and the Lions will be scrambling to avois yet another loss.

This game was an easy pick.

My pick: Houston


Indianapolis @ Green Bay
Green Bay, Wisconsin

This will be a good game, but the Colts are not the team they once were.

Peyton Manning is not playing like he used to (sucks for me, I have him in Fantasy) and Addai (who I also have in Fantasy and is playing horribly) is out.

Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers has looked to be a decent QB and Greg Jennings (finally, a good player that I have in Fantasy) has looked very good.

As always, Lambeau's "G-Force" will have a great deal of home-field advantage affect on Indy.

My pick: Green Bay


If my picks are correct, these will be the standings after the weekend:

1. Bears (4-3)
2. Green Bay (4-3)
3. Minnesota (3-4)
4. Detroit (0-6)
