You may ask, who is SportsGal? No, not the wife of Bill Simmons. This one actually knows quite a bit about sports. She is also a frequent commenter at The Big Lead and Major League Jerk. She definitely can hang with the boys. She attended Central Michigan University, and there is the slightest of chance that I may come across her at some point while I would be visiting friends (not really). She hails originally from the palm on the pinky side of the Hand, and a lot of fans from that area are actually Chicago Bears fans. So naturally this qualifies her as someone who can write about the putrid NFC North. She doesn’t like to waste time, so lets get a look at the Norse Divsion.

Vikings - I honestly don’t know if this team is the real deal. Their defense is the best in the division, and they have an incredible running tandem in Adrian Peterson and Chester Taylor. But their QB is mediocre at best, and AP could have the sophomore slump. I tried to do a little research on their roster and schedule on their website, but it was clearly designed by someone from Minnesota because it’s impossible to navigate. Seriously, it sucks. http://www.vikings.com/Index.aspx After I downloaded the PDF of the schedule (W.T.F.), I think they’ll go about 11-5. Playing both Detroit and Chicago twice helps. (People from MN=Canadians)

Packers - The drama this summer is going to be a big factor for the Packers this season. Everything is going to come down to the performance of Aaron Rodgers, and who can accurately predict how he’s going to play? Rodgers will be scrutinized on every down, every mistake he makes will be over analyzed, and the fans will boo every single incomplete pass he throws. Really not the situation you want to be in when you’re making your first career start in the NFL. Every QB feels pressure, but not like this. The Packers could go 13-3 or 5-11 and I wouldn’t be surprised either way. Personally, I think they’re going to have an ugly season. I think they’ll finish in the 8-8 range. (hmmm, could be great. could be bad. but let’s go with mediocre. way to be bold SG!)

Bears - Jerry Angelo and the McCaskey’s have turned my beloved Bears into one of the shittiest teams in the NFL. Since 2001, the only good draft pick Angelo has made in the first round was Tommie Harris. When is the last time they managed to sign a marquee free agent or make an upgrade on offense? Ugh, ok moving on before I throw up… the Bears are going to suck this year. I like Forte (he looked pretty good in the first preseason game) but let’s be honest here, the offensive line is too old to be effective after week 4. Lots of people are excited by Devin Hester, but they forget he’d be required to learn the offensive play book to be any good (not to mention he would need a decent QB to throw him the ball). My guess is this team goes 6-10. Fuck me. (careful SG, we have some desperate men roaming these pages)

Lions – Only Matt Millen is more incompetent than Jerry Angelo. Firing Mike Martz and promoting from within isn’t going to do shit to make this team better. They want to be a run-first offense which makes no sense when they’ve used their top draft picks to select receivers. Their offensive line is going to be as crappy as it was last year (they’re returning 4 starters), and I’m not at all impressed with Tatum Bell. It would be a miracle if they were able to repeat the 6-2 start they had last season. I’m going with 4-12. (this one you nailed. Matt Millen sucks, the Ford family sucks, the Lions suck.)
