It's half way through the season and this one has been an interesting one. There a bunch of story lines like why the Cowboys and Vikings are struggling as well as the slow start by the NFC west favorites, the 49ers. Are the New Orleans Saints going through a Super Bowl hangover? Earlier in the year, I posted my predictions on my blog. Looking back, I think some of them are not too optimistic. In the afc east, I predicted the Jets to win and they are currently tied for first with the New England Patriots. In the afc north, the Steelers are indeed winning, but are trailed closely by the Ravens. In the Afc south, the colts are in first and tied with the titans. In the afc west, the surprising chiefs are leading the way, but Oakland is right on its heels.
To the nfc east, the giants are leading the division by one game. The packers are indeed leading the nfc north as I predicted and they lead by half a game. In the nfc south, I thought the saints would easily have their way, but the falcons lead the way. In the weakest division, the nfc west, the rams and seahawks are tied for first at 4-4. Because the top teams are at .500, the 49ers are still in this one.
Currently the two worst teams are the bills and cowboys, 0-8 and 1-7 respectively. Bills are the only winless team and just keep finding ways to lose. This includes losing in overtime. Next week, they have a decent chance to win as they battle the lions who are 2-6. The cowboys as I mentioned above have been a big flop. They were expected by many experts to be a good team. Instead, they are at the bottom of their division and are on the verge of not qualifying for the playoffs.
If I could change my predictions today, I would take the chargers and replace them with oakland in the afc west. Other than that, nothing would change. The saints will get better after they get over their hangover and the 49ers are likely to come back as they are only 2 games behind.
