NFC North and NFC East Updates

I have put off updates on both the NFC North and NFC East. The latter has been terrible all year while in the NFC North, the Detroit Lions, the only team around for the previous 47 Super Bowls without ever making one, have quite possibly blown their playoff chances.

The Lions can still win the NFC North but will need help from other teams to do so. This week Detroit needs to win vs the New York Giants and for either the Chicago Bears or Green Bay Packers to lose. Unless both lose, they will need help in the final week as well.

In the NFC East, the much maligned Dallas Cowboys still control their playoff destiny. If Dallas wins their last two games, they will be in the playoffs.
