Will the Green Bay Packers take a step back without Davante Adams? Can the new coaching regime help turn around the Chicago Bears? We discuss these topics and more in our 2022 NFC North division odds, picks, and preview.
The Packers (-170 at FanDuel Sportsbook) have won the NFC North three years in a row. Now they enter 2022 without All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, who had been with the team since 2014. How much will losing his 432 receptions over the last four years hurt the Packers’ offense?
The Bears (+1200 at DraftKings Sportsbook) look to turn their franchise in the right direction in Justin Fields’ sophomore year. They’ll do so under the direction of new coach Matt Eberflus. While he is a defensive coach, they bring in Luke Getsy, the Packers’ former quarterbacks coach, to help develop Fields.
The Detroit Lions (+1000 at Caesars Sportsbook) added wide receiver DJ Chark but otherwise didn't have make changes. Last year was their first year without Matt Stafford in over a decade and they continued to struggle.
