Quarter-pole predictions
With Week 5 a couple of days away, that mean’s we’re heading into the second quarter of the season.
Through four weeks, there have been dominant teams (like the Vikings and Saints), awful teams (none worse than the Rams) and medicore (like the Cowboys).
This year there seems to be more of the dominant and awful variety.
Now that four games — for most teams — have come and gone, here are my division, playoff and Super Bowl predictions for the rest of the way (up until the halfway point when I’m wrong and need to change everything).
