NFC North odds

Gino Bottero: Adrian Peterson is going to be inspired and probably run for a lot of yards, but in the NFC North, all roads lead to Green Bay. The Packers have taken the division down four years in a row, but heavy public money has stripped them of any value. Run All-Day, run. Vikings +753 (Pinnacle)

Joe Thomson: The Bears seem to be flying under the radar as a quietly improved team. John Fox has had a ton of regular-season success and this offense should be tough to contend with regardless of Jay Cutler's perceived incompetence. If you're looking to make money in the NFC North, the Bears are your best choice. Bears +2000 (Sportsbook.ag)

Dan Wilkins: With the Packers again looking like a Super Bowl contender, and both Detroit and Minnesota being at least another year away from having a chance to earn the same status, it may not be very wise to bet against the favorites here. The return obviously won't be great regardless, but Green Bay should run away with this division for the fifth straight year. Packers -325 (BetOnline)
