The NFC North might be the best division in the National Football League right now.
Outside the Chicago Bears, all teams are almost guaranteed to make the playoffs, and two have already clinched their spots.
Maggie Gray, however, has more faith in the team that has yet to secure its spot in the postseason.
In the latest edition of her “Maggie and Perloff” show, she argued that, of all teams in the NFC North, she actually thinks the Packers have the biggest upside right now.

Truth be told, she might be right on point there.
Although Matt LaFleur’s team has already lost to the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, it might be the most balanced team.
When Jordan Love takes care of the football and makes good decisions, he’s the best quarterback of the three by a significant margin.
Their defense has taken a big leap forward under Jeff Hafley.
More importantly, they’re better coached than all other teams.
As good as Sam Darnold has been this season, there are still doubts about him, and the Vikings’ offense has sometimes gone stagnant.
On the other hand, the Lions keep losing players left and right, and there are some serious concerns about Dan Campbell’s decision-making and uber-aggressive decisions at times.
The Packers still need to secure their spot in the playoffs.
But judging by how they’re playing right now, they might be the last team anybody wants to see in a win-or-go-home situation.
