If Cousins, Rodgers and Stafford all go down for the season in Week 1, the Bears *might* be division favorites.
If Kirk Cousins goes down week 1, could be bears be considered favorites to win North

I wouldn't exactly be happy with that result this season (I think 9-7 is possible), but it would create excitement for going into next season, and deservedly so

As it stands right now, the Vikings have the best overall roster in the division, but I think GB wins the most games because of a slightly easier schedule(Vikes play Eagles and Saints whereas GB gets Atlanta and Washington). The division itself has a pretty nice schedule with them facing the AFCE and NFCW. 2 very weak divisions with only 1 legitimate team in both of them(Patriots and Rams)
Honestly, the hype the Niners are getting all offseason really should be going to the Bears. I'm still not really sold on the Niners overall roster right now, at least not in comparison to the Bears roster. I think Chicago end up around .500 this season and finish in 3rd . I expect the Lions to regress big time. They have easily the least talented defense in the division

I'm still trying to figure out how Mitch-a-palooza is going to be a top 10 qb this year.

If nuclear war breaks out and every city but Chicago gets nuked the Bears still wouldn't be favorites to win the division.

Bears are getting better in every facet of the game from the talent on the field to the staff. That is all that matters.

Does g t f o h stand for “get the f out of here?”
If so, then no. Because I can have an opinion. My opinion is the bears are a better team than you believe. They have the hardest SOS for 2018. That will change, I see a lot of those teams underperforming
We will lose
- 1 game vs packers
-1 game vs Vikings
-1 game vs patriots
- 1 game vs la rams
- 1 game vs lions
That’s not too much to ask for. I think all of the other games are winable. I even allowed an NFC north lost at each away game

My favorite teams
The Vikings were a division winning team before Cousins. His addition elevated the Vikings to possible Super Bowl champions. Take away Cousins and they still would be favored to win the Division. The Vikings are not a QB driven team like Green Bay. The Packers lose Rodgers and they suck. The Vikings lost Bradford and got better. True, Bradford is not nearly the QB Rodgers is and Keenum played out of his head, so there's that.
I believe our overall talent has improved but we are still not at the level of Minnesota or Green Bay. If anything we will be battling Detroit for 3rd.

This is a 6-10 team.
The strides I’m looking for this year aren’t necessarily in wins and losses—they’re in the play on the field and Trubisky improvement.
It’s true that one should lead to the other, but the strength of the North makes me think the Bears will have a losing record in the division and just under .500 everywhere else, although who really knows.
