NFC Update

The Carolina Panthers have a magic number of one to clinch a second straight NFC South crown and this is with 5 games left to play.

Both the (9-2) Arizona Cardinals, who won by 6 as 8 point favorites at San Francisco vs the (3-8) 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks who got a late break away touchdown to exceed the 3 point spread vs the also (6-5) Pittsburgh Steelers won today.

Thus  it is Arizona, owning a road win vs Seattle, still in control in the NFC West.

The (8-3) Minnesota Vikings are back in first place after beating the (6-5) Falcons in Atlanta. They lead the (7-4) Green Bay Packers, who did win in Minnesota last week.

Two sub .500 teams, the Washington Redskins and New York Giants lead the woeful NFC East with (5-6) records after “Wash” prevailed at home vs the Giants. The (4-7) Philadelphia Eagles are next in the standings.
