Six weeks into the 2024 NFL season, it seems rather clear that the NFC North is the best division in football. Each of the division's four teams is above .500: the Minnesota Vikings are 5-0, the Detroit Lions are 4-1 and the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are each 4-2.

The Vikings dealt with losing their starting quarterback, 2024 first round pick JJ McCarthy, to injury on the eve of the new campaign, with journeyman Sam Darnold stepping in admirably and leading them to an undefeated record through five weeks.

It's never been done before, but the odds say it's plausible, as three of the four NFC North squads are currently favored to make the playoffs, and one is on the cusp.
