We have arrived at the halfway point (sort of thanks to a 17-game schedule) of the NFL season. Here’s a brief rundown of who are contenders, outsiders and are planning for next season.

The defending Super Bowl champions defense took a hit in free agency. The offense will have to shoulder more if they want to defend their title.
2. Washington Commanders
They were one win shy of making an appearance in the Super Bowl. Can QB Jayden Daniels repeat or exceed his fantastic rookie season?
3. Dallas Cowboys
Oh what a season we have to look forward to. Where will the Cowboys find themselves come January?
4. New York Giants
Three new quarterbacks have been brought in. Their future will ride with Jaxson Dart, but for now they have Russell Wilson in the twilight of his career.

3. Arizona Diamondbacks
After just missing out on the Postseason last year, look for them to rally back with the likes of Corbin Burnes atop their rotation.
4. San Francisco Giants
Losing Blake Snell is gonna sting, but seeing him go south to the Dodgers has to feel worse.
5. Colorado Rockies
There is still potential in the Rocky Mountains. Even if that potential is to be worse than the Chicago White Sox were in 2024.
Player to Watch: DH/P Shohei Ohtani – Los Angeles Dodgers
Best Acquisition: P Corbin Burnes – Arizona Diamondbacks
New Kid on the Block: P Roki Sasaki – Los Angeles Dodgers
