NFL at the Half

This is our NFL mid season review. Who has done what so far. Most teams still have a chance to win their divisions with a little of help from others. This does not include you Cleveland. But seriously let's look at the 1st half of the season.
Best AFC team. The Patriots are the best. They went 3-1 without Tom Brady. They are undefeated with him.
Best NFC team. The Cowboys are 7-1. No Romo, no problem. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott are the future. The future is now.
Best Division. The AFC West have 3 teams with winning percentages over 600. San Diego is last in the division with three of their losses by less than 4 points. The Raiders have one of the top passing offenses in the league and the Broncos have a top 5 defense against the pass. The Chiefs have a balance attack and an outstanding coach. This division is wide open.


Top MVP candidate is Matt Ryan. Runner up is Derek Carr.

Matt Ryan

Derek Carr

Top Rookie is Ezekiel Elliott.

What to watch. AFC North, NFC West and the AFC South are not strong on the road. In the 2nd half of the season we will see if this trend holds up.
Eagles are going in the wrong direction and in the immortal words of the late Dennis Green we can sum up their season here.

                                                              Enjoy the 2nd half.
