Colin Cowherd is not known to be a fan of the Green Bay Packers. He has long been critical of Aaron Rodgers and how the organization has handled its star quarterback. Yesterday, the radio personality predicted the standings for the entire NFL. While he thinks the Packers will not be good this year, he does predict that the ownership of the Chicago Bears will continue.
Colin Cowherd On The Green Bay Packers Season
Cowherd predicts this order for the NFC North.
1. Detroit Lions
2. Minnesota Vikings
3. Green Bay Packers
4. Chicago Bears
Seeing the Lions up at the top is not a surprise. They should be the favorites with the roster they have going into the 2023 season. What is a little bit of a surprise is the Bears last. Many analysts are predicting that the Bears could be a fringe playoff team but not Cowherd. While he thinks the Packers will not be great, he has them finishing over the Bears in the division.

The Vikings Dilemma
It is a slight surprise seeing the Vikings over the Packers. Cowherd points out that they were a whopping 11-0 in one-score games last season which is likely not to be duplicated. Minnesota has also shed a lot of key players from last season including running back Dalvin Cook. What Cowherd seems to be banking on is the connection between Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson and an improved defense behind new defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
As a Green Bay Packers fan, it is great to see Colin Cowherd say the Packers will finish higher than the Bears. Even if this season goes awry, that alone would be amazing.
