Halftime Report

As the NFL wraps up the first half of the season we know one thing for sure, there is no dominant team. Parody is the name of the game and just like the movie title suggests on any given Sunday any team can come away victorious. Some teams have exceeded expectations while others have come up miserably short. I will break down each division and tell you who will make the playoffs and who needs to find a nice sports bar to watch the games like you and me.

NFC East (2 teams make it)

6-2 New York Playoff bound and possible division winner
5-3 Philadelphia Playoff bound and possible division winner
4-4 Washington Too many injuries and issues with the offense (miss playoffs)
1-7 Dallas Maybe they win 4 games this year (miss playoffs)

NFC North (1 team makes it)

6-3 Green Bay Playoff bound division winner
5-3 Chicago They have a winning record at present, but I'm not a believer (miss playoffs)
3-5 Minnesota They have all the tools , they just can't seem to put it together (miss playoffs)
