Parity defines tense NFL midseason playoff race | JQJO

At the NFL’s midpoint, parity reigns: every team has at least two losses and most divisions remain open. Bookmakers lean toward a Bills Eagles Super Bowl, with Philadelphia widening its NFC East lead, while surging New England (7-2, six straight) and Denver emerge as AFC threats after Indianapolis stumbled. Kansas City, third in the AFC West, faces a perilous stretch after a bye that could imperil its playoff streak. The NFC West trio of 49ers, Seahawks and Rams sit on six wins, with standout MVP candidates from Josh Allen and Drake Maye to Christian McCaffrey and Jonathan Taylor.
