NFC North Hate Week: Packers Home Dogs, Bears Favored at Lambeau, Lions Defense Woes, Vikings 4-0 — Hosts from Vikings 1st & SKOL, Bleachers to Speakers (Lions), and a frustrated Chicago sports fan recap the first quarter of the season and preview Week 5 in the NFC North. Minnesota sits 4-0 behind a top defense and Will Reichard’s scoring, but the offense is still developing; Jordan Addison missed practice with a hamstring tweak, Justin Jefferson is limited with a sprained ankle, and the Vikings added Odell Beckham Jr. to the practice squad amid O-line injuries (Darrisaw in concussion protocol, Donovan Jackson out). Detroit is 2-2, underwhelmed and calling defensive issues systemic after losing to Carolina; Brian Branch may return after the bye, and keys vs Arizona include establishing the run and winning turnovers. Green Bay is criticized despite a narrow win over Tampa Bay and losing Edrin Cooper (torn Achilles), while Chicago touts Ben Johnson, ball control, and expects to beat the Packers at Lambeau with Tyson Bagent. They note league news (Lane Johnson retirement, Cam Jurgens trade to Baltimore), officiating complaints, Marcus Davenport retiring, and make picks: Lions -5.5, Vikings -1.5, Bears -2.5.
