Bill Belichick, who knows a thing or two about winning Super Bowls (and also lost some, you may remember) once said that a key to the regular season is setting yourself up for the stretch run after Thanksgiving. At least, I think he said that, I’m not going to look it up. You will see this material again.
Well, Thanksgiving is now behind us and lo and behold none of the NFC is set up for the stretch run. It feels good in a way, there’s a comforting, familiar feeling that the division is trash again.
