NFL midseason report

We have made all the way to week 11 in the NFL season, back in June we were in the middle of labor talks and now we are a little more than half way through the 2011 NFL season and heading right towards Super Bowl XLVI.  Let's start in the AFC where things are pretty open.  This conference is open for the taking with only a few teams who will have 10 or more wins.  In the east we have the New England patriots who will most likely win the division, after beating the Jets twice.  The New York Jets who are not as good as advertised with a porous offensive line and a defense which doesn't always show up and Rex Ryan's comments are becoming a little much, will battle it out with the Buffalo Bills for a Wild Card.  In the north the Pittsburgh Steelers, Baltimore Ravens, and Cincinnati Bengals will battle it out for the division and the other Wild Card.  Only one team from the south the Houston Texans who just lost its quarterback will make the playoffs and it will be the same story in the west where either the Oakland Raiders or the San Diego Chargers (this team is cursed, every year people think they'll be good and they disappoint) will make a playoff run.  in that conference the Indianapolis Colts are winless and may end up drafting the successor to Peyton Manning.
The NFC is fun, the New York Giants have lead in the east and will have to fend off a Dallas Cowboy team, which they have not seen yet.  Both Wild Cards could come out of the north where behind the 9-0 Green Bay packers, the Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions are in a tie at 6-3 and both Wild Cards may come from their.  The New Orleans Saints 7-3 will battle with the Atlanta Falcons 5-4 for the South, both teams are hard to read.  The San Francisco 49ers are for real, and have run away with the western division which they have pretty much already won at 8-1.  Aaron Rodgers has become a star on an undefeated Super Bowl winning team, the Packers still look good for a playoff run but I wouldn't be surprised with a regular season loss or two.
