o win a playoff game. But the Cowboys probably would have home-field

RENTON, Wash. -- Offensive lineman John Moffitt was traded Tuesday from the Seattle Seahawks to the Denver Broncos after his original trade to Cleveland was voided by the Browns. The Broncos, who announced the trade, sent defensive tackle Sealver Siliga back to Seattle in exchange for Moffitt. Seattle had originally traded Moffitt to the Browns on Monday, pending a physical, in exchange for Brian Sanford. But the trade was voided by the Browns. The Seahawks then turned and sent Moffitt to the Broncos, providing Denver with some experienced depth. Moffitt became expendable after he lost out to J.R. Sweezy for the starting right guard spot. Seattle also felt strongly about some of its other young backups. "We would not have been able to do a trade like that if the young guys hadnt been doing such a great job," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday before Moffitts deal to Cleveland had been voided and the new trade completed. "I think that its really a statement about those guys growing and coming in and helping us." Seattle has been set on adding additional depth to the defensive line. Seattle signed Tony McDaniel in the off-season to play defensive tackle, but he has been slowed by a groin injury during training camp. The Seahawks also have Clinton McDonald and Jaye Howard, and they drafted Jordan Hill and Jesse Williams in April to play the position. Siliga doesnt come with much experience. He played in just one game during the 2012 season for the Broncos and recorded one tackle. He left Utah after his junior season, but went undrafted. He originally signed with San Francisco before being released and latching on with Denvers practice squad in October 2011. Silaga was on Denvers 53-man roster for all of the 2012 season, but he was inactive for 15 games.Kenta Maeda Jersey . - Goaltender Philippe Desrosiers of the Rimouski Oceanic has broken a shutout record that was only three months old in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.

They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division.The first half of the NFL season turned out to be mostly unpredictable.The NFC was surprisingly down. A rookie quarterback, Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys, is running away with the No. 1 seed in a conference that has Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Cam Newton, Matt Ryan and Eli Manning. The New England Patriots, who didnt have Tom Brady for the first four games, lead the AFC East by three games and appear to be coasting to home-field advantage.And, talk about a flip in the standings: The NFC East, which was arguably the worst division in football last season, is 13-5-1 in non-divisional games this season, and every team is .500 or above. The NFC West, as recently as last season considered the best division in football, is 7-13 in non-division games and has only one team with a winning record.Lets take a stab at 15 predictions for the second half of the season:1.?Prescott will take the 7-1 Cowboys into the playoffs and draw a ffirst-round bye.dddddddddddd The Cowboys have the ninth-toughest closing schedule in the league based on other teams winning percentage, but they should get to 11 wins -- at least. What they have to worry about is facing a defense such as Seattle or Minnesota in the playoffs, teams that could make it tough for a rookie quarterback to win a playoff game. But the Cowboys probably would have home-field advantage.2.?The 5-4?Detroit Lions, believe it or not, will win the NFC North. With five fourth-quarter comebacks this season,?Matthew Stafford?has become the?comeback king of the league. The edge for the Lions over the 5-3 Vikings and 4-4 Packers is that three of their four remaining home games are against NFC North teams. If the Lions establish home-field advantage at Ford Field, the NFC North is theirs. ' ' '
