Call me crazy, but my prediction is that they'll start off red hot. They'll look invincible in the preseason, then win a close one against the Saints opening day, breeze past their next two opponents, then start to lose games on penalties, dropped passes and ugly fluke plays. And freak injuries. They will have a "come to Jesus" meeting in week ten, then start playing more solidly down the stretch, squeaking into the playoffs after just barely verging on elimination.
We'll sweep the Vikings, get swept by Detroit and split with the Bears. Both Bears games will be close, low scoring affairs, 9-3 or 13-10. Cutler will average 4 interceptions/game against us. Rodgers will throw at least one INT hard over the middle to Urlacher.
10-6, wildcard team and Detroit wins the division.
NOTE: In the playoffs, anything can happen.
