NFC Update

Again the NFC update begins with the Seattle Seahawks, who not only won impressively, but increased their lead in the NFC West.

The Seahawks are (9-1) after avenging a divisional round loss to the now (2-7) Atlanta Falcons. Later in the day, the (6-3) Carolina Panthers upset the (6-3) San Francisco 49ers giving Seattle a two and a half game divisional lead.

At night the New Orleans Saints went to (7-2) ripping the Dallas Cowboys. That result along with the Philadelphia Eagles win at Green Bay vs the Packers, who played without quarterback Aaron Rodgers, leaves the Cowboys and Eagles tied with mediocre (5-5) records atop the NFC East.

The Detroit Lions took over the top spot in the NFC North with a win at Chicago vs the Bears. Detroit at (6-3) has a one game advantage on both Chicago and Green Bay.

As I predictions the Rams and Panthers pulled upsets while the Denver/San Diego game did “go under” the total.
