I think they beat the Giants too (could be close though), but can they challenge NE (or SD)?

Thanks.
As for how they stack up against the AFC....who knows really?
They did beat all 4 AFC West opponents they faced (weak group beyond SD no doubt), but that was the only games they played OOC.
I have watched every Pack game this season and I still dont know how good they are. At times they look unstoppable on Offense as witnessed in Saturday nights blizzard. Then they throw up a game like they did against Dallas and the 1st Bears game of the year in which they showed their youth and IMO beat themselves both times. Though both times the D was as guilty as the O in the decision.
Can they beat NE? Sure they could. Will they? Doubtful. I dont think anyone is stopping that locomotive this year. Though again I will reiterate....I think the GB secondary (with the sudden maturation of Bigby) may be the best in the entire league right now. That may be enough to allow them to stay close to anyone they play.
Of course there is still a game to win this Sunday and anything can happen there as well.
