Week 10: What We Learned + The Good,The Bad, The Ugly

Approaching Week 11, how accurate were your initial predictions. Did you think the Dolphins and Buccaneers would be contending for division titles? Did you think the Vikings would be in last in their division? As we approach the playoffs, it’s not really clear how things will fall into place. Let’s take a look what we’ve learned so far.

Let’s start off with the NFC Best (West). This division has a surplus of talent. I doubt many people expected the reigning NFC Champs to be in last place in the division. The Cardinals, Rams and Seahawks all have 6 wins with the Cardinals currently holding the tie breaker. With the addition of another team in the playoff picture, there is a chance three teams from this division make the playoffs.

On the other hand, we have the NFC Least (East). Most people will argue that none of these teams deserve to make it in the playoffs. With the Eagle’s chemistry problems, Cowboys injuries/internal problems, Giants being themselves, and the Football Team playing like the Flag Football Team it’s not looking good for this division. The Eagles are currently holding first place with 3 wins. There’s a good chance the winner of the division will be hosting a team with 5 more wins then them.

The NFC South is another close one as the Buccaneers and Saints both lead the division with 6 wins. You’d assume the Saints would win the division after the massacre against the Bucs, but the injury to Drew Brees will give the Brady and the Bucs a chance. The AFC South is a two man race between the Titans and Colts with 6 wins each and the Chiefs have a two game lead in the AFC West against the Raiders who are not a team to be taken lightly.

In the other divisions, the Packers have a promising 2 game lead over the Bears with Aaron Rodgers and the Packers offense looking like they are just getting started. In the AFC East, the Dolphins are just one game back from the Buffalo Bills. The only team that seems to be running away with the division are the Steelers. The fact that teams are starting to figure Lamar Jackson out will help Pittsburgh’s chance to be the first team to clinch.

It’s going to be interesting to see how the playoff picture changes throughout the rest of the season. With so much uncertainty in the NFL, fantasy players have been much more consistent. Let’s take a look at this weeks The Good, The Bad and The Ugly.
