The four teams of the NFC North, the oldest division in the NFL, have been beating on each other for a long time, ever since the Vikings joined the league in 1961.
This is the famed "black-and-blue" division with some of the oldest and most tradition-soaked teams in the league and, not coincidentally, the winningest.
Then, there are the Lions. the only team in NFL history to go winless in a 16-game season. That was in 2008. Remember quarterbacks Jon Kitna and Dan Orlovsky?
History won't quite repeat itself this year, as the Lions will again be bad, but not that bad.
The NFC North has some of the best players in the league, in Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson, the league's MVP last year, just to name a couple.
Still, I think only the Packers have a legitimate shot at making it to the Super Bowl this year. Here is my preview of the division and predictions. Who do you think will win the division this year?
