The fight for the NFC North division crown is underway. Eight games remain in the regular season and while Detroit and Chicago are heading in the right direction, Green Bay and Minnesota are seeing a downward trend. Week eleven will feature Chicago and Minnesota duking it out in a division rivalry game, Green Bay heading to New York, and Detroit taking visiting Philadelphia on Sunday night. Here are bold predictions heading into Week 11 in the NFC North.

Week one’s matchup between the Bears and Vikings was capped off by a game-winning last-second touchdown by quarterback J.J. McCarthy. The Bears are ready to rid themselves of the sour taste on Sunday. Chicago’s offense leads the charge with Caleb Williams continuing his hot play. Chicago ends the game with a victory.
Bears Ground Game Averages 5.0 Yards Per Carry
Chicago’s 2nd–ranked rushing attack takes on Minnesota’s 22nd–ranked run defense. After a slow start, the Bears have found great success running the ball. Since week four, Chicago has averaged 5.78 yards per carry. The Bears pound the rock and finish with 5.0 yards per carry.

Detroit’s Offense is Too Much for Philadelphia
Detroit’s offense has been one of the league’s best throughout the season. They face a tough matchup against a stingy Philadelphia defense. The Eagles are coming off a week ten 10-7 victory, but aren’t ready for what the Lions have in store. Detroit’s offense scores at will and hands Philadelphia its worst loss of the season.

Linebacker Jack Campbell Adds Another Nine Tackles
Philadelphia’s 23rd–ranked offense faces a Detroit defense that finds ways to stop the pass and run. The Eagles will do their best to move the ball, creating play-making opportunities for Detroit’s leader in tackles, Jack Campbell. Campbell has averaged 9.1 tackles per game and finishes Sunday night with another nine tackles.
Green Bay Packers

The Packers’ Offense Clicks Against the Giants
The Packers’ offense is stagnant, but they face a Giants defense ranked 29th in yards allowed per game. New York fired its head coach during the week, but that won’t stop Green Bay from finding success in the air and on the ground. The Packers put 30 points on the scoreboard for only the third time this season.
Josh Jacobs Gains Ground in the Rushing TD Lead
Josh Jacobs’ 3.8 yards per carry is the second lowest in his career, but the running back is on pace to break last season’s career-high 15 rushing touchdowns. Jacobs’ 11 touchdowns are second to Jonathan Taylor’s 15. Green Bay’s running back takes advantage of New York’s 31st–ranked rushing defense and finishes with two rushing touchdowns.
Minnesota Vikings

Minnesota Flops Against Chicago
The Vikings welcome the Bears, having lost four of their last six games. Minnesota’s offense and defense have done a complete 180 from last season. The Vikings won their week one matchup at Chicago, but won’t have the same luck in round two. The team’s offense and defense struggle, with Chicago getting revenge.
Minnesota’s Running Backs Lead the Offense
Minnesota will have a rough night against Chicago, but find light at the end of the tunnel via the ground game. Chicago’s run defense is ranked 24th in rushing yards allowed per game, and Minnesota will look to establish the run early. However, the Vikings fail to produce touchdowns on drives led by their run game, settling for field goals.
