All NFC North teams are above .500; Bears 5th-best NFC Playoff odds

The NFC North appears to be the NFL's most competitive division again.

The fickle nature of these SB Nation Reacts confidence polls are the same for all 32 fan bases. Our favorite team wins, and we're riding high. It's all sunshine and rainbows. But our favorite team loses, and the sky is falling. It's all doom and gloom.

A division loss just exacerbates the doom, and when it's the Green Bay Packers beating the Chicago Bears, the confidence poll drops from 94% of us believing the team is heading in the right direction to just 55%.

The NFC North is the only division where all four teams have winning records after five weeks, and this is the third straight year they've done that.

If the season ended today, all four NFC North teams would qualify for the seven-team playoff bracket.

Our partners at FanDuel Sportsbook have the undefeated Minnesota Vikings with the second-best odds to make the NFC playoffs at -450.

The (3-2) Detroit Lions have the fourth-best odds at -178.

The (3-2) Bears, who are last in the division, have the fifth-best NFC postseason odds at -146, while the (3-2) Packers are ninth at +142.

The Bears are on the road to face the (2-3) Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, while the Packers host the (2-3) Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. Minnesota and Detroit are on byes.
