NFC North
Green Bay Packers, 12 wins
Over (-125) / Under (-105): Along with the Pats, Green Bay's the only team with a total higher than 10. This shouldn't be shocking given that a) they won 15 games in 2011, and b) they went all defense in the draft. 12 games is tough, though, you guys. Cantor Sportsbook director said of the overs for the Pats and Pack: "We'll be happy to take those bets." I wouldn't make one myself, but looking at the Pack's schedule, I certainly wouldn't take the under either (13 seems right). Verdict: OVER

Detroit Lions, 9.5 wins
Over (+105) / Under (-135): There's been plenty of drama surrounding Jim Schwartz's troops this offseason, and there's reason to wonder if they're not a little out of control. But there's also reason to believe this team could get back to the playoffs again, especially if the Lions have a semblance of a running game. It was definitely smart to steal Riley Reiff for protection purposes, but that secondary is really scary, especially in a division with Jay Cutler and Aaron Rodgers. Downside is eight wins and missing in the playoffs in a very crowded NFC Wild-Card race. Verdict: UNDER

Chicago Bears, 8.5 wins
Over (-135) / Under (+105): The dumbest move for the Bears this offseason? Not beefing up their offensive line. But the smartest move? Getting a competent backup quarterback in Jason Campbell. This team was headed to 10 or 11 wins before Cutler's injury last season. The defense will/could/should regress some and is older, but the offense should be much, much better with the addition of Brandon Marshall, the growth of their linemen and the departure of Mike Martz. I love betting against the Bears Verdict: OVER

Minnesota Vikings, 6 wins
Over (Even) / Under (-130): So the Vikings won three games last year and there's almost a 100-percent chance that Adrian Peterson won't be 100-percent healthy when the season begins and they're gonna win six games this year in one of the toughest divisions in football? *books one-way flight to Las Vegas* They do have a really, really easy schedule, but that's what happens when you're a two-win team. Verdict: UNDER

So was it dumb not to beef up the line, or is the offense going to be better because of the growth of the current linemen?

the bears @ 8.5 looks like an easy over...i have the bears at 10-11 wins...and the giants look good @ 9.5...they should win 11 plus.

Vikings will be under 6 Bears over 8.5 Lions under 9.5 (they'd be better off w/ Kyle Schwartz as their head coach instead of Jim.) Packers will break even at 12, just because they're dicks.

Danny Mac still hoping for Lovie to bomb so he gets fired? I think the Bears 3-5 step drops will overlay the weak pass protection. I also think the Bears Defense will be a spicket. We saw at the end of last year how fast a unit can age. I think it will happen sooner this year. I give the Bears 5 wins. The Lions are ready to take off. I give them 12 wins.
