The NFC North power ranking for deep playoff run confidence: Lions, Packers, Vikings, Bears.

How would you power rank the NFC North right now in terms of confidence to go deep in the playoffs? I think the Bears have the longest shot. I'm not fooling myself here. I would say Lions number one, then Packers number two, then Vikings number three.

Big Cat ranked NFC North playoff confidence: Lions #1, Packers #2, Vikings #3, Bears #4. The 2024 standings were Lions (15-2, #1 seed), Vikings (14-3, lost Wild Card), Packers (11-6, lost Wild Card), Bears (5-12, last). Lions at #1 was right, but Vikings outperformed Packers, flipping the #2/#3 prediction.

Brian Thomas Jr. might be the best rookie wide receiver in the NFL.

Brian Thomas might be the best rookie wide receiver now that Malik Nabers missed a couple games. Marvin Harrison is like, either he scores three touchdowns or doesn't catch a ball. Brian Thomas is the real deal looking awesome.

Brian Thomas Jr. finished with a very strong rookie campaign, though Nabers and Harrison Jr. also had elite stretches. It remains a high-level debate.

Tank Bigsby has one of the coolest names in the NFL.

Tank Bigsby deserves more credit for being one of the coolest names in the NFL... His real name is Cartus. Cartus is pretty solid... Cartus Bigsby. He is Cardi B.

Subjective opinion on name quality.

Jared Goff is a legitimate MVP candidate at +850 odds.

Jared Goff plus 850 on DraftKings Sportsbook for MVP. Just saying that... the last two guys who have had a three-game streak of 140 plus passer rating was Aaron Rodgers in 2011 when he won an MVP and Kurt Warner in 1999 when he won an MVP.

Goff remained in the conversation deep into the season, though Lamar Jackson emerged as the heavy favorite.

The Vikings officially have a Kyler Murray problem

I think we can officially say they have a Kyler Murray problem. Justin Jefferson has reached his point where he's like, 'What the fuck is going on?' So that would be my point. Maybe there's a Kyler Murray issue.

Whether Minnesota had a significant Kyler Murray problem is an evaluative football judgment rather than a definitively resolvable fact.

The Vikings should trade for Kirk Cousins

What if I told you the Vikings could trade for a quarterback that has 18 touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown? Would that be something you think you'd be interested in if you were a Minnesota Viking fan? Kirk Cousins.

Whether Kirk Cousins was traded to Minnesota during the 2026 season is not established by the transcript or reliably known here.

Jalen Warren is a top-five running back

Jalen Warren is the top five running back this year. And it's like watching him play, that changes what I think about the Steelers.

Top-five running back status is ultimately a subjective ranking that cannot be definitively resolved.
