From Sid's Column:

While the Vikings have the eighth-hardest strength of schedule in the NFL in 2018, they are tied for the easiest schedule in the NFC North with the Bears. The Packers have the toughest schedule in the league and the Lions are second.

The Packers sched is only "toughest" because of the difference in the Vikings/Packers record last season. The Packers count for 7-9 twice or 14-18 on the Vikings sched, while 13-3 times two adds up to 26-6 on the Packers sched. All teams in a division play 14 of 16 common opponents.

So the only difference in the schedules is:
Vikings: Saints, Eagles
Lions: Cowboys, Panthers
Packers: Skins, Falcons
Bears: NYG, Bucs

And just on a tangent... how loaded is the NFC when the Falcons are a 3rd place team?

It will be a one game difference for the North title. Maybe even a tie going to tie breakers.
