NFC North

One of the most unpredictable divisions heading into the 2021 season is the NFC North. With Aaron Rodgers’ future in Green Bay in shambles, this division could be wide open. Chicago drafted their future with Justin Fields, Detroit is in clear rebuild mode and Minnesota is looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2020 season.

We know the Seahawks will win at least one game against this division…against the Minnesota Vikings. Russell Wilson is undefeated against the Vikings in his career and although they are on the road in Week 3, I don’t see that streak ending. Detroit is quite similar to Houston where they are a complete mess. Seattle should beat them.

Seattle plays Green Bay and Chicago later in the season — months in which Seattle typically plays great. Regardless of whether Rodgers is in Green Bay or not, I have Seattle defeating the Packers. In late December against a Bears team — in which Justin Fields will probably be starting — I will take the Seahawks.

The defense will be in rare form and the Seahawks will be looking to secure their division for a second straight year. Hence, I got the Seahawks going 4-0 against the NFC North.
