With all teams having played at least eight games, NFL Nation reporters revise their team's predicted record:
AFC EAST
Buffalo Bills (4-4)
Season preview prediction: 10-6
Revised prediction: 7-9
How the mighty have fallen. Well, maybe the Bills were never mighty -- but they sure sounded like it this offseason, when Rex Ryan wasn't shy of using the P word with his team after the high-profile additions of LeSean McCoy, Charles Clay and Percy Harvin. Injuries on offense, an underperforming defense and an excess of penalties across the board have sunk the Bills into the murky depths of the AFC's average teams. They'll need to paddle hard to stay afloat past the first weekend in January. -- Mike Rodak
Miami Dolphins (3-5)
Season preview prediction: 9-7
Revised prediction: 8-8
The Dolphins’ awful 1-3 start under former coach Joe Philbin provides very little margin for error to push for the playoffs. Interim coach Dan Campbell is 2-2 since taking over. Miami already lost Pro Bowl defensive end Cameron Wake (Achilles) for the season and must stay healthy in the second half to be successful. -- James Walker
New England Patriots (8-0)
Season preview prediction: 11-5
Revised prediction: 15-1
This reporter bought way too much into the hype of three AFC East rivals loading up in the offseason and the Patriots losing more than they gained, personnel-wise. The three most challenging games remaining appear to be at the Giants on Nov. 15, at the Broncos on Nov. 29 (after a Monday night game) and at the Jets on Dec. 27. I considered going the 16-0 route, but with the unpredictability of injuries, leaving some margin for error seemed like the smart play. -- Mike Reiss
New York Jets (5-3)
Season preview prediction: 8-8
Revised prediction: 9-7
After a 4-1 start, the Jets are starting to break down in a couple of key areas. The running game has disappeared and the pass defense has allowed more than 1,000 yards in the last three games. They haven’t played a complete game in a month -- who kidnapped the October Jets? -- but they’ll stay in the race because they have one of the easiest schedules on paper. The emergence of quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is the biggest reason for the bump in the revised pick, but he’ll need help to keep this thing afloat. The Jets have 10 starters in the 30-and-up age group, a few of whom are starting to show signs of wear and tear. Todd Bowles has to integrate some young players into the lineup to keep his team fresh for the second half. -- Rich Cimini
AFC NORTH
Baltimore Ravens (2-6)
Season preview prediction: 11-5
Revised prediction: 6-10
With the Ravens already losing six games, let's just say my season preview prediction was a tad optimistic. Baltimore has a chance to go on a run in November with home games against Jacksonville and St. Louis and a prime-time road game in Cleveland. But the Ravens' most vulnerable areas -- wide receiver and secondary -- will make it tough for them to match up against Miami, Seattle, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. This will result in Baltimore's first losing record under coach John Harbaugh and with Joe Flacco at quarterback. -- Jamison Hensley
Cincinnati Bengals (8-0)
Season preview prediction: 10-6
Revised prediction: 13-3
When I originally called the Bengals a 10-win team in the preseason I thought it was a slightly optimistic projection. Turns out it was pessimistic. It’s hard seeing the Bengals beating Pittsburgh twice in one year, and it’s also tough seeing them win at Denver on the back end of consecutive trips out west for back-to-back December prime-time games. So I’m expecting they’ll eventually have a couple of losses. But then again, this team already has accomplished things very few anticipated. Maybe it ends up 16-0? Now wouldn’t that be a story. -- Coley Harvey
Cleveland Browns (2-7)
Season preview prediction: 4-12
Revised prediction: 4-12
When a team goes 2-6 the first half, that is right on pace for a 4-12 finish. The Browns have given no reason to believe they will suddenly run the table, or even go .500 in the second half. There are winnable games left -- Pittsburgh at home in the season finale, San Francisco, Kansas City, Cincinnati because it’s at home, Baltimore at home on a Monday night. It’s tough to see them winning all five or even four of the winnable games, and it’s realistic to see them winning two. Four games was the prediction in April and September. It remains the prediction. -- Pat McManamon
Pittsburgh Steelers (5-4)
Season preview prediction: 11-5
Revised prediction: 10-6
This requires the Steelers to finish 5-2, but that’s doable. The schedule basically begs them to do so. They play Cleveland twice. They’ll be eager to avenge earlier losses to Baltimore (Pittsburgh’s a better team) and Cincinnati (it’s personal after the Vontaze Burfict play on Le’Veon Bell). They have a home game with Cleveland before the Week 11 bye, so there's no reason they shouldn’t jump to 6-4. This is still a fringe playoff team despite the avalanche of injuries. The offense has overachieved as a result and yet they are still a few plays from being 7-2 right now. -- Jeremy Fowler
AFC SOUTH
Houston Texans (3-5)
Season preview prediction: 9-7
Revised prediction: 6-10
The Texans haven’t beat a team with a winning record and have lost to three teams with losing records. Luckily for them, there aren’t any teams with winning records in their division, so the Texans found themselves tied with the Colts for first place in the division heading into their bye week. Unluckily, their second-half schedule is one of the toughest in the NFL and the Colts have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the league. They’ll miss Andrew Luck, but they were 2-0 without him earlier this season, including one win against the Texans. One thing I expect to be dramatically different for the Texans in the second half of the season is that there will be less drama. The first half saw a quarterback carousel that was disruptive to the offense. Texans coach Bill O’Brien has said he doesn’t regret how he handled the quarterbacks at the start of the season, but I believe if faced with the same situation again, he will handle it differently. -- Tania Ganguli
Indianapolis Colts (4-5)
Season preview prediction: 12-4
Revised prediction: 9-7
From 13-3 when the NFL schedule was released last spring, to 12-4 at the end of the preseason, to just surpassing a .500 record. That’s a drastic fall for a team thought of as a Super Bowl contender at the start of the season. One of the Colts’ biggest problems not named Andrew Luck is their inability to win outside of the division. Though they beat the undefeated Broncos on Sunday, all of their losses have been to teams outside the AFC South. Indianapolis still plays each team in the division one more time, but it also has four more games against teams outside of the division. The Colts should be able to beat Tampa Bay and Miami, and they may be able to turn their season around to finish with a winning record if Luck gets out of his season-long slump, which he showed signs of doing vs. Denver. -- Mike Wells
Jacksonville Jaguars (2-6)
Season preview prediction: 7-9
Revised prediction: 5-11
The Jaguars would have to go 5-4 in their final nine games to reach seven victories, and I don’t see it. I see two victories against Tennessee but only one other win, possibly against Indianapolis at home. The Jaguars’ defense has been the team’s biggest problem, especially in terms of rushing the passer. The Jaguars can’t get pressure with four so they have to blitz a lot more than coach Gus Bradley would like. Good quarterbacks make you pay when you do that, and Joe Flacco, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan and Drew Brees will do so. -- Mike DiRocco
Tennessee Titans (2-6)
Season preview prediction: 6-10
Revised prediction: 3-13
The Titans blew several chances at wins against weaker teams in the first half of their season, and the second half includes heavyweights Carolina and New England and up-and-comers in the N.Y. Jets and Oakland. Under interim coach Mike Mularkey, they have to come alive again the weak AFC South. Tennessee still has Jacksonville twice and rematches with Houston (home) and at Indianapolis. -- Paul Kuharsky
AFC WEST
Denver Broncos (7-1)
Season preview prediction: 13-3
Revised prediction: 14-2
In the season preview, we had the Broncos sitting at 7-1 at the halfway point with the loss predicted as 28-24 to the Indianapolis Colts. The scenario predicted in the season preview still exists with a potential loss in Week 17, to San Diego, if the Broncos go the route of resting starters because their playoff fate is sealed. But with the depth they’ve shown and defensive muscle so pronounced, they have one more win in them than perhaps it looked like when they broke training camp. -- Jeff Legwold
Kansas City Chiefs (3-5)
Season preview prediction: 9-7
Revised prediction: 7-9
The early five-game losing streak caught me, and a lot of others, by surprise. The Chiefs still can right themselves, to an extent, because after their next game, Nov. 15 against the Broncos, they don’t have a remaining opponent that is likely to make the playoffs. If the Chiefs can find a way to beat the Broncos and win on Nov. 22 against the Chargers, they have a great chance to reach my original prediction. -- Adam Teicher
Oakland Raiders (4-4)
Season preview prediction: 6-10
Revised prediction: 10-6
The Raiders have an explosive offense. Quarterback Derek Carr has led Oakland to a top-10 ranking in offensive efficiency per game, points scored per game, yards per game, yards per play and Total QBR. They also have a very manageable remaining schedule, which includes two games against the Chiefs and games at Detroit and Tennessee. -- Bill Williamson
San Diego Chargers (2-7)
Season preview prediction: 9-7
Revised prediction: 6-10
The Chargers should be healthier in the second half of the season, with linebacker Manti Te'o (ankle), guard Orlando Franklin (knee) and tight end Ladarius Green (ankle) expected back. San Diego has winnable games at home against Kansas City and Miami and on the road against Jacksonville and the Chiefs. -- Eric D. Williams
NFC EAST
Dallas Cowboys (2-6)
Season preview prediction: 10-6
Revised prediction: 7-9
Had the Cowboys beaten Philadelphia, I might have been more optimistic about the Cowboys’ second half. To get to better than .500 for the season, the Cowboys have to go 7-1 the rest of the way. In last year’s 12-4 finish, they went 6-2 in their final eight games. Since the move to the 16-game schedule, the Cowboys never have gone 7-1 in their final eight games. They’ll need Tony Romo to play at the highest of levels after not playing for two months. Plus, they have a game against the undefeated Panthers and a trip to Green Bay -- Todd Archer
New York Giants (5-4)
Season preview prediction: 7-9
Revised prediction: 7-9
Overall, the Giants have played better than I expected them to play. But in terms of game results, how much has veered from expectations? They’ve lost their division road games and won their division home games. They won in Buffalo, which I didn’t expect, and they lost to the Falcons at home, which I also got wrong. From here out, the Giants need to go just 2-5 to get to my preseason prediction, and it’s entirely possible they could do that or worse against a very tough schedule. Can’t possibly think at this point that they’ll beat the Patriots or Panthers. Road games in Miami and Minnesota will be tough, as will home games against the Jets and Eagles. They’re not likely to be favored in any game from here on out, and if they finish over .500 with this roster, I still think it will be a tremendous accomplishment. -- Dan Graziano
Philadelphia Eagles (4-4)
Season preview prediction: 11-5
Revised prediction: 8-8
The downward trajectory here is a result of simple math. Based on Chip Kelly’s 20-12 regular-season record and the way the team looked with Sam Bradford running the offense in the preseason, it seemed reasonable to expect a slight improvement this season. I thought the Eagles could be 6-1 after seven games. They were 3-4 and looked every inch an 8-8 team. If they can top 8-8, they can still win the NFC East. -- Phil Sheridan
Washington Redskins (3-5)
Season preview prediction: 6-10
Revised prediction: 6-10
The Redskins did well to win three games the first half of the season given their injury situation -- entering the Tampa Bay game in Week 7, only San Diego had lost more starts to injuries this season. But it’s those injuries, and some tough upcoming games, that make it hard to add wins to the preview prediction. The schedule is kinder down the stretch, and if quarterback Kirk Cousins finds any consistency to go with any sort of a run game, they can finish strong. The question then becomes: Will coach Jay Gruden stay off the hot seat and will Cousins receive a new multiyear deal from Washington? -- John Keim
NFC NORTH
Chicago Bears (3-5)
Season preview prediction: 6-10
Revised prediction: 6-10
The Bears still resemble a six-win team. Coach John Fox has the team in almost every game, but they can’t finish. That should change in the second half when Chicago plays San Francisco, Washington, Tampa Bay and Detroit. It’s a slow process, but the Bears are headed in the right direction. -- Jeff Dickerson
Detroit Lions (1-7)
Season preview prediction: 9-7
Revised prediction: 3-13
The Lions are a bad football team and the schedule the rest of the season is not kind. Detroit still has two games against Green Bay (including at Lambeau Field on Sunday), along with facing a resurgent Oakland team. The Lions have to travel to St. Louis and New Orleans. It is possible the Lions lose their next six games -- Thanksgiving against Philadelphia is the best shot for a win -- heading into the last two games of the season against San Francisco and at Chicago. Both of those games are winnable for Detroit, mostly because San Francisco might be a bigger mess than the Lions and the Bears are terrible and already lost to Detroit. None of these games are guaranteed wins and it’s just as easy to see a path where the Lions end up 1-15 as it is to see them finish 5-11. So split the difference and take 3-13. No matter the record, this team has been a failure under Jim Caldwell. It is the most disappointing team in the NFL. -- Michael Rothstein
Green Bay Packers (6-2)
Season preview prediction: 11-5
Revised prediction: 11-5
Consecutive losses to Denver and Carolina certainly dampen the outlook, but both games were on the road against teams that came in with undefeated records. The original prediction included a Week 2 loss to the Seahawks and a win at Carolina, so that’s a wash. As bad as they’ve been the last two weeks, can you really see them losing more than two or three games down the stretch? I’ll give you at Minnesota and at Arizona -- and perhaps Oakland -- but that might be it. -- Rob Demovsky
Minnesota Vikings (6-2)
Season preview prediction: 9-7
Revised prediction: 10-6
The Vikings got off to a strong start while playing one of the league’s softest early schedules, and things will get considerably tougher for them in the second half. They have three December home games, but a three-and-a-half-week stretch against the Packers, Falcons, Seahawks and Cardinals could leave the Vikings with a couple of losses. If the Vikings want to build on their solid first half and make a playoff run, it will be incumbent upon quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to play well enough to get them there. -- Ben Goessling
NFC SOUTH
Atlanta Falcons (6-3)
Season preview prediction: 8-8
Revised prediction: 10-6
The Falcons built themselves a nice cushion with a 5-0 start under new coach Dan Quinn. As they proceed into the second half of the season, playing two consecutive home games with rest after the bye should help, although facing Adrian Peterson and the Vikings indoors won’t be an easy task. I’ll stick by a preseason prediction of the Falcons losing two games against Carolina, which started the season 8-0. Some eyes opened when the schedule showed a three-game road swing at the beginning of December, but the last of those games, at Jacksonville, should be a breeze. It will be interesting to see if the season finale against the rival Saints at the Georgia Dome has playoff implications. If the Falcons are healthy and the offense is playing up to standard, I expect them to get revenge for that 31-21 loss in Week 6. -- Vaughn McClure
Carolina Panthers (8-0)
Season preview prediction: 9-7
Revised prediction: 14-2
I had Carolina getting through its four-game stretch against Seattle, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and Green Bay with three losses. The Panthers won all four and are now 8-0. Quarterback Cam Newton is playing at a high level and traditionally gets better as the season gets older. That the rest of the schedule includes only three games against teams with winning records -- and two of those are an Atlanta team that has lost three of its last four -- makes the Panthers the favorite for a third straight division title and top seed in the NFC. -- David Newton
New Orleans Saints (4-5)
Season preview prediction: 10-6
Revised prediction: 8-8
The Saints have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the NFL, but they have proven that means absolutely nothing since they lost at home to both Tampa Bay and Tennessee this year. New Orleans has improved since the start of the season, with young players maturing, key injuries healing up and Drew Brees and Sean Payton rediscovering their big-play mojo. But the Saints’ maddening inconsistency -- especially from the NFL’s 31st-ranked defense -- will keep them out of the playoffs for the second straight year. -- Mike Triplett
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-5)
Season preview prediction: 8-8
Revised prediction: 6-10
Expect inconsistency throughout the second half. A .500 finish might be possible with a better pass defense, but there’s little to suggest the Bucs’ maligned secondary will drastically improve in the months ahead. The offense has made strides with Jameis Winston and Doug Martin, but it’s too much to ask for both to lift Tampa Bay to shootout victories. -- Andrew Astleford
NFC WEST
Arizona Cardinals (6-2)
Season preview prediction: 11-5
Revised prediction: 11-5
The Cardinals, by all accounts, should have been 8-0 heading into their bye week. They have two bad losses -- St. Louis and Pittsburgh -- but with the third-hardest remaining schedule, which includes trips to Seattle and St. Louis and home games against Cincinnati and Green Bay, it’s tough to expect anything extraordinary from the Cardinals in the final half of the season. They might finish 12-4, but 11-5 seems more likely. -- Josh Weinfuss
St. Louis Rams (4-4)
Season preview prediction: 8-8
Revised prediction: 9-7
The Rams actually have a legitimate shot to be even better than 9-7 based on their schedule and their apparent ability to beat inferior opponents, unlike in past seasons. Road trips to Seattle and Cincinnati look daunting, and Arizona gets a rematch in what look like the three toughest remaining games. But because the Rams look better equipped to defeat the teams they should, and with a dominant defense paired with rookie sensation Todd Gurley at running back, we'll project them to find their way to a winning record for the first time since 2003. -- Nick Wagoner
San Francisco 49ers (3-6)
Season preview prediction: 5-11
Revised prediction: 5-11
Typically, changing quarterbacks midstream is a panic move for a team searching for answers. And just as typically, the answers are nowhere to be found. The same could be said for finding victories for the Niners down the stretch. They still have three games against their NFC West brethren, and the Cardinals, Seahawks and Rams already have beaten them down by a combined score of 94-16, with the 49ers scoring one touchdown, a Colin Kaepernick run at Arizona, and settling for three field goals. And in their other non-divisional games, they face a surging Cincinnati Bengals team and a familiar face who knows them intimately in the Bears’ first-year defensive coordinator ... Vic Fangio. For spit and giggles, let’s say the Niners can beat the Browns and Lions. Then again, those games are both on the road, and the Niners have yet to win a roadie. But Blaine Gabbert helping lead them to an unexpected feel-good win against the Falcons last weekend gets them closer to 5-11, no? -- Paul Gutierrez
Seattle Seahawks (4-4)
Season preview prediction: 12-4
Revised prediction: 10-6
The Seahawks typically have been a good second-half team and still have a realistic shot at making the playoffs despite a 4-4 start. In a league where star-caliber players have been going down on a weekly basis, they’ve had good injury luck. Looking at their remaining schedule, the Seahawks should be favored in every game except potentially the finale against the Cardinals. If they can split the two matchups against Arizona and win five of their other six games, the Seahawks should be in good position to get into the postseason at 10-6. -- Sheil Kapadia
