"Thursday night's Raiders-Broncos game kicked off Week 10, which means we're officially past the midway point of the 2025 NFL season. After nine full weeks, the Colts, Patriots and Broncos were surprisingly tied for the best record in the AFC, though Denver's win on Thursday put it ahead. Meanwhile, the Buccaneers, Eagles and Seahawks lead the NFC. But a lot can happen over the next two months."
"So, we asked 15 of our NFL analysts for their best second-half prediction. Which teams will win their divisions and go far in the playoffs? Which might make the Super Bowl? Who's making a strong case for one of the league's annual awards? Could we see a record get broken? And how might this all impact the 2026 NFL draft order?"
