When it comes time to start handicapping the divisions in the NFL ahead of the regular season, there are always one or two that are a little more difficult to figure out than the rest. That is very much how I feel about the NFC North heading into this season, as I’m not so sure we are going to see any one team dominate. There is also a case to be made for all 4 teams in the division, but this might be one where we need to see how things go in the early part of the season before making a full NFL betting prediction. For now, what we can do is take a look at the win totals for each team this season and try to figure out if they will go OVER or UNDER, so let’s get to it.
NFL 2023 Season Win Total Over/Under Picks for the NFC North Division
2023 NFL season | 104th season of National Football League in the United States
September 7, 2023–February 11, 2024
Minnesota Vikings
Regular Season Wins: 8.5
Over: -110
Under: -110
This may seem like a bit of a low total when you consider that the Vikings went an impressive 13-4 in 2022. Their failure to go deep in the playoffs, though, means that they are now beginning to look ahead to the future, which means dumping some talent in favor of younger guys. That said, there are still enough pieces on this team to make them competitive in the division in 2023. The window of opportunity is probably now closed for the Vikings, so expect to see a drop off this season. I see them hovering right around 8 or 9 wins, so this is a tricky wager.

Detroit Lions
Regular Season Wins: 9.5
Over: -125
Under: -101
Is there finally some light at the end of the tunnel for the Lions, who have been down in the cellar for way too long. While not too many teams would be willing to crow about a 9-8 season, it was a massive step forward for the Lions, who won just 3 games in 2021. The question now is whether they can take that next step and win the division. Given the current state of the North, going over their posted win total might just be enough to get them there. They made some nice offseason moves, and I like the Lions to go OVER.

Chicago Bears
Regular Season Wins: 7.5
Over: -131
Under: +107
There was some talk in the offseason that the Bears might be ready to move on from Justin Fields at QB, but they seem to have gone all in, as they have landed some receiving weapons that could help the cause. All too often last season, Fields was forced to run to make things happen on the offensive side of the football. It is going to be fun to see what he does with some receivers to toss to. The Bears have the potential to be a bit of a dark horse, so I am going to take the OVER.

Green Bay Packers
Regular Season Wins: 7.5
Over: -121
Under: -101
You have to go back to 2017 to find the last time that the Packers won 7 games or fewer. With Aaron Rodgers now in the Big Apple and Jordan Love set to take over the QB reins, it’s tough to know how things will play out. The receiving group for the Packers is young, so they are either going to be a ton of fun to watch or an absolute nightmare. While I don’t see the Packers being truly horrible, I think the UNDER seems most likely here.
