NFL Midseason: Surprises, Story Lines, Super Bowl LVII Picks

With nine weeks in the books, we have reached the NFL’s official midseason point. To mark the occasion, we are looking back at the first half of the season and zooming ahead to the playoffs, a totally original idea you will not see replicated anywhere else on the internet. We’ve already assembled our panel for the midseason power rankings, dished a mock draft 2.0 for everyone whose favorite GM hasn’t already traded away their next decade’s worth of picks and now present our midseason predictions. And coming soon, Albert Breer will survey executives across the league for their takes on various awards.

Below our MMQB staff will offer up some of the biggest first-half surprises, intriguing second-half story lines and new Super Bowl predictions. You can check out our preseason predictions, and we’ve also included them so you can easily see who has already had to walk away from an embarrassing September pick.

Hurts, Rodgers and Allen have been three of the biggest stories of the first half, at least one of them for reasons you probably wouldn’t have expected.
