SF is going nowhere fast. Seattle will rebound. Philly will drop a few games. NO is improving a lot with the healthy Jimmy Graham and may get stronger down the stretch. Green Bay is better than 5-3 indicates. Detroit will falter of course, they are nowhere near 6-2 good. Arizona is the worst 7-1 team I've ever seen, or at least this year for sure. I think they still make the playoffs, but will catch a string of losses somewhere. They've been incredibly lucky in many games, and never really dominant imho.

Dallas should finish the rest of the games with around a 4-3 split, leaving them 10-6 and that may actually be good enough for 1st place in NFC East depending on who they beat to do it. They have some key players coming back from injury late in the year, so December could put them on a string of victories. If they finish out 5-2, then they're solid. OTOH, if they drop to 9-7, then things get a bit dimmer.

Either way they could be a force in the playoffs if healthy enough, or a 1 and out if too banged up. It's telling that their two losses recently were still close  games until pretty late, vs Arizona especially despite Weeden being god-freaking-awful (sub-50 QB rating, lol).
