These are my Week 2 picks for the NFC North:

Chicago Bears @ Carolina Panthers: Carolina hung on to beat San Diego last week, which is respectable. However, the Bears beat up Indy and really showed what they can do. Look out for the Bears this season as I see them cruising on to beat Carolina. My Pick: CHICAGO

Green Bay Packers @ Detroit Lions: Green Bay snuck out a win vs. Min last weekend, but they didn't look too impressive. Yes, Aaron Rodgers was a high point, but overall they couldn't take command. However, this weekend should be easy for them as the Lions looked horrific in they're week 1 loss to Atlanta. My Pick: GREEN BAY

Indianapolis Colts @ Minnesota Vikings: The Colts did not look good against the Bears last weekend. At all. The Vikings hung with Green Bay but made a ton of mistakes. Look for a lot of mistakes from both teams in this one. It's hard to tell whether the Colts looked bad or the Bears looked good, but the Vikings did look ok. So going off of that, Minnesota is sitting pretty. My Pick: MINNESOTA
