I think despite my Dallas team folding today and Houston failing to pull a victory over the Eagles, I'll end with one of the better records on the week. I think nearly everyone picked SF v the Rams, so that's not bad. 10-3 if the Colts beat the Giants.

As far as the Cowboys, I'm still impressed with the defense honestly in today's solid L, they were able to hold the Cards @ 14 and under for most of the game, but were simply asked to take the field far too many times to hold out indefinitely. Without Romo, Doug Free, Sean Lee, Justin Durant (#1 tackler for Dallas this year), and now more minor injuries to Tyrone Crawford and Rolando McClain, I think the Cowboys are probably aimed at something like 10-6, and the Eagles probably similar. I don't have any idea if that will be good enough for home field this year. The NFC does seem pretty balanced, with only the Cardinals remaining to have a good skid. The Cardinals are good but at the same time not nearly 7-1 good. They were inches away from falling to the Eagles at home, and Dallas played so absolutely horribly today on offense that it should have been 28-10 by the end of 1H, not 14-10 until near the end of the game.

I think the Packers are a good bet to have a late-season run, and wouldn't count the Seahawks out either in that group of potentially dangerous teams.
