Sharp or Square - NFC NORTH BETTING PREVIEW: Predictions for Packers, Bears, Lions & Vikings

Aug 19, 2026 · 42m

Summary

Colin Cowherd and Simon Richman preview the NFC North, predicting a weak division where the Vikings are the only healthy team. They are bearish on the Lions due to offensive line injuries and skeptical of the Packers' defense and Jordan Love's consistency. While the Bears have a strong run game, their defense is viewed as a liability. The hosts ultimately favor the Vikings, betting on Kyler Murray and coach Kevin O'Connell to lead the team to a division title.
