I think you're close, but I would give a bit more credit to the Bears and Packers:

Vikings 12-4
Packers 12-4
Bears 9-7
Lions 7-9

There should be a pretty good race between the Vikings and Packers for the division title. It's kind of interesting that these teams have the same strengths and weaknesses. The Vikings had major O-Line problems, but their line has played together a whole year now, so they might gel. The Packers also had O-Line problems. Both teams have amazing passing attacks (though the Vikes might suffer without Sidney Rice) and both have first rate run defenses - the Packers were #1 and the Vikings were #2 last year.

The Bears are a borderline playoff team. They have a great defense, but I am completely unimpressed with their offense. They could win a weaker division, but they'll have their hands full with 4 games against Minnesota and Green Bay.

The Lions are clearly on the rise, but they have a lot of young players who need a bit more experience. Look for them to contend in 2011 (if there is a 2011).

Packers 12-4 Rodgers and their defense lead to a great season
Vikings 9-7 Favre disappoints but their defense helps win them a wild card spot
Lions 8-8 Great D-line and good offense
Bears 6-10 The offense sucks and the defense can't stay on the field enough to give the offense a break
