Now that we’ve reached the halfway point, we can start to look at the NFL “if the playoffs started today…” scenarios and there won’t be 6,000 ties for the wild card spots. The only reason I’m bringing this up is because if the season ended today, the Colts wouldn’t just be a playoff team, they’d be playing the Broncos in a wild card game.

Frankly, I’m surprised they managed to get a win. As ridiculous as it was when Steve Spurrier said that Alabama could beat an NFL team, I think Alabama would at least give the Chiefs a game. Anyway, since the NFL for some reason decided that a Chiefs-Chargers game was worthy of a national audience, I (like 95 percent of America) have started this week 1-0. As for the rest of the picks…
