With the Packers in the rearview mirror, Chicago and Minnesota will stay neck-and-neck in the standings until the end of the season. The Vikings might boast the superior roster, but Minnesota has more potential hiccups on its schedule than Chicago, which still gets to play the Lions twice, the Giants and the 49ers. By the time their season finale rolls around, the Bears (9-6) and Vikings (9-5-1) will be in a win-or-go home scenario. When the inexperienced Bears lose handily to their Norse rivals, falling to 9-7, not only will they lose the North title, but they'll fall completely out of the playoffs, thanks to the ascendant Falcons finishing on an absolute tear. No postseason for the young Bears, but not a bad first go-around for Matt Nagy in his rookie season. They'll be back to compete and lead in the North for years to come.
