The NFC North is now a completely different division with Aaron Rodgers out of the picture. The three-time NFL MVP and one of the best quarterbacks of all time are in New York with the Jets, and that reshaped not only the NFC North division but the entire conference as well.
Before Betting on 2023 NFL North Winners
Since 2011, the Packs have been the NFC North champs eight times, while all other teams won four titles. Last year, the Minnesota Vikings took the throne, but they lost in the NFC Wild Card round to the Giants.
The Vikes have won 21 NFC North titles and are the most successful team in the assembly in that aspect. They are pretty much the only team that managed to put some resistance against the Packs in the previous 15 years.

The Detroit Lions are atop the favorites list, with the team from Michigan having significantly better chances of winning the top spot than other rivals. If Jared Goff and the boys do that, it would be the first NFC North title since 1993 and the fourth in the franchise’s history.
They have a very good and talented unit, and are bound to be even better as time goes by. Of course, there is a matter of Goff’s consistency, but there is plenty of quality in other areas of the team to cover up his slips.
Minnesota Vikings are second in line. After a solid start in Vikes, the head coach Kevin O’Connell now has to deal with some changes as WR Adam Thielen and OLB Za’Darius Smith left. The key players, like QB Kirk Cousins and RB Dalvin Cook, are still present, but the Vikes look overall weaker than in 2022.
The Chicago Bears and the Packers are in the process of a rebuild and it is no wonder to see them far behind the above-mentioned duo. Simply, these two teams have plenty of new players in some critical spots, like Jordan Love at QB in Green Bay, or the sophomore, Justin Fields in the same position in Chicago.
We need to say that the respective defenses are great, but it’s hard to believe they might win the division titles and push these teams to the playoffs.
