Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Green Bay Packers are odds-on favorites to win the NFC North title in 2022, and the Minnesota Vikings are favored to be their closest competitor.
If it sounds familiar, it’s because it has been that way almost every preseason for the past decade. That’ll happen when one team is blessed with an all-time great quarterback, the other team is cursed with being an all-time good-but-never-quite-good-enough Sisyphean franchise...and the other two teams are in the division are the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions.
