The NFC North has gone 17-3 against teams outside its division. Even the last-place Packers are sitting at 5-3. That's an incredible level of competition, and the possibility of all four teams reaching the playoffs suddenly looks very real.
But there's an interesting twist. Chicago is 6-2 overall and still hasn't won a division game, sitting at 0-2. Detroit, meanwhile, is 2-0 against its NFC North rivals.
That's where things could get interesting. Beating teams from other divisions is great, but these head-to-head games could ultimately decide who gets a home playoff game and who ends up fighting for a wild-card spot.
I wouldn't count Green Bay out either. Being last in this division doesn't mean much when you're still sitting at 5-3. That's how competitive this group has become.
If you had to trust one team to win the remaining NFC North matchups, who would it be? Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago or Green Bay?
