10 Reasons The Chicago Bears Will Overachieve In 2017

Overrated division

Somebody needs to say it. So here we go. The NFC North is one of the weaker divisions in the NFL. Phew. That was so liberating. It’s true though. Don’t be fooled by the fact that two teams made the playoffs last year. The Detroit Lions were blown out in the wild card round and only made it that far thanks to a series of freak comeback victory. As for the Packers, they were 4-6 last season before a late run to sneak in. They were eventually crushed in the NFC championship. Neither team looks stronger than last year, nor do the Minnesota Vikings who still have Sam Bradford at quarterback.
