NFC North: Week 1 Preview | Who Will Be King

NFC North Week 1 Roundtable: Bears at Panthers, Lions vs Saints, Packers at Vikings — Dave (Vikings 1st & SKOL), Pay (Frustrated Chicago Sports Fan), and Foster (Bleachers to Speakers) preview every NFC North Week 1 game, with floors, ceilings, and injury news. Pay expects Bears at Panthers to be closer than casual fans think: Carolina’s secondary and run defense, the Bryce Young–Tet McMillan connection, and Jonathan Brooks’ groin. Chicago’s own secondary is dinged, Kyler Gordon is on PUP, Braxton Jones is a week-to-week left tackle, and Swift/Odunze had midweek scares. Foster on Lions vs Saints: New Orleans finished last season ninth in defense, added pieces, and still has Cameron Jordan and Chase Young rushing. Jordyn Tyson is on IR. Detroit practiced almost the entire 53. Dave on Packers at Vikings: Green Bay’s offensive line is “we’ll see,” Micah Parsons is on PUP, Josh Jacobs is on the exempt list. Minnesota has Harrison Smith back and named Carson Wentz QB2 over J.J. McCarthy. Score picks: Bears 38–30, Lions 31–28, Vikings 31–10.
