NFC North race going to be fun

The Minnesota Vikings have a killer schedule ahead after the bye week, but it can be done. The rest of the division is set up for tough games as well. Here is a look at the rest of the 2012 NFC NORTH division schedule

CHICAGO BEARS (7-2)
Week 11 at San Francisco (Monday night)
Week 12- MINNESOTA
Week 13- SEATTLE
Week 14- at Minnesota
Week 15- GREEN BAY
Week 16- at Arizona
Week 17- at Detroit
Summary- 3 home games and 4 road with the last 2 weeks on the road

GREEN BAY PACKERS (6-3)
Week 11- at Detroit
Week 12- at New York Giants
Week 13- MINNESOTA
Week 14- DETROIT
Week 15- at Chicago
Week 16- TENNESSEE
Week 17- at Minnesota
Summary- 3 home games and 4 road games and has to go on the road to all 3 NFC North opponents

DETROIT LIONS (4-5)
Week 11- GREEN BAY
Week 12- HOUSTON (Thanksgiving Day)
Week 13- INDIANAPOLIS
Week 14- at Green Bay
Week 15- at Arizona
Week 16- ATLANTA
Week 17- CHICAGO
Summary- 5 Home games and 2 on the road and has 3 straight home games with week 11 and 12 being huge for the Lions. What a way to end the season playing home against the top 2 NFC teams thus far.

The Vikings only have 6 games left while the rest of the division has 7 left. The Vikings are the last team in the division to get their bye.

I love how the NFL has got the schedule looking with all these monster matchups. Each team is suffering key injuries so which team wants it we will soon find out in 7 weeks.
This is why I love this game so much with the matchups and everything on the line. The scoreboard watching begins as each upset will make this league even crazier than it already is.

On a non-schedule topic the Pro Balloting is ongoing and has 4 Vikings in the lead of their respective divisions. Adrian Peterson, Matt Kalil, Jared Allen and Percy Harvin all are in the lead. Harvin for his kick returns. The balloting ends Monday December 17th and the AFC and NFC teams will be announced on the NFL Network on Wednesday December 26th at 6:00pm. Good Luck to these players. I would think Blair Walsh and Chad Greenway will make a run as well.

Thanks for reading until next week
