Minnesota Vikings
2017 Finish – 1st 11-5 #3 Seed Lost in NFC Divisional Round
Team Owner: John Fichera
OVERALL RATING: 84
The Vikings defense can be dominant, but their success comes on offense. John Fichera showed he belonged last season, and that will continue in 2018. The new owner has provided evidence that he will be a force in season, and out. We may have another draft guru.

Vikings, they’re tough, they execute well, they don’t beat themselves. They’re blue collar.
Prediction – 2nd, NFC #5 Seed, Loss in Divisional Round
Detroit Lions
2017 Finish – 2nd 9-7
Team Owner: BlackPaw
OVERALL RATING: 83
The Lions underachieved last season. Not by roster construct, but from User performance. BlackPaw lost Stafford, and didn’t recover. This season will be different. the multiple Sim Association Champion is devastating in coverage, and now has weapons to put his high powered offensive style to work. Good luck, rest of the NFL.

The Lions sleep tonight. Where were the Lions last year? Don’t expect back to back disappointing years from that team.
Prediction – 1st, NFC #3 Seed, Loss in Divisional Round
Green Bay Packers
2017 Finish – 3rd 8-8
Team Owner: ChiefMoe
OVERALL RATING: 87
Another new addition to the Sim Association, ChiefMoe is here to throw. If you don’t have the stomach for the air game, don’t watch his twitch stream. With a top 5 Overall team in the league, ChiefMoe will need to bring some Defense this season to compete for a playoff postion

The Packers are always to be feared. In particular Rodgers makes every defense look silly.
Prediction – 3rd, Misses Playoffs
Chicago Bears
2017 Finish – 4th 2-14
Team Owner: Jay Twizzle
OVERALL RATING: 86
Jay Twizzle joined in the off season and immediately made an impact. New players everywhere. We’ll have to watch him as the season progresses to get a handle on his style. The fourth place predicted finish? The other 3 owners showed they can play last season, now is it Twizzle Time?
