Packers Poised to Reclaim NFC North Crown in 2025
8 Aug
Summary
- Packers expected to win NFC North in 2025 after missing playoffs in 2024
- Other NFC North teams face questions at QB and coaching changes
- Packers' young core and healthy QB Love give them edge in division
As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the NFC North division is shaping up to be a competitive one, with the Green Bay Packers expected to emerge as the division champions. This prediction comes from CBS Sports' Senior NFL Columnist Pete Prisco, who believes the Packers will reclaim the top spot in the division after missing the playoffs in 2024.
The Packers' path to the division title is bolstered by their young core of players, many of whom gained valuable experience during the previous season. Additionally, the health of quarterback Jordan Love, who missed significant time in 2024, is seen as a crucial factor in the team's potential success.
In contrast, the other teams in the NFC North face their own challenges. The Minnesota Vikings are counting on a rookie quarterback in J.J. McCarthy, while the Detroit Lions have lost both of their coordinators, including offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who is now the head coach of the Chicago Bears. These changes and uncertainties within the division give the Packers a clear opportunity to seize the division crown.
Prisco acknowledges that the Packers also have some questions, particularly regarding their pass rush and quarterback position, but he believes the team's overall strength and experience will be enough to overcome these concerns and secure the NFC North title in 2025.
