FINAL STANDINGS
In an attempt to predict the conqueror of the division and give us a clearer idea of what’s to come all I’ve come up with is an even spread! Leaving all four teams tied up at 6-10.

Given my predicted win for the Cowboys in the final game against the Redskins, that sees them miraculously make the playoffs.

Last year the NFC South produced an all losing division, with the Panthers qualifying for the playoffs with a 7-8 record. There were plenty of football fans cursing at the time that a team can progress to the playoffs with such a record – myself included! If the Cowboys manage it, there will be plenty of profanities from me again; but this time from shock, elation and disbelief.
The Cowboys rarely do things the easy way. Why start now?
