prompt 2 

Heading into the season I was very curious about one specific division and it's one I plan to keep my eyes on throughout the season - the Pacific division. in that division, there's no clear leader nor a clear dog, all of the teams are roughly even, especially considering disparities that can be found in each of the other three conferences. even in providing division prediction suggestions i was like yeah we're pretty much guessing here lol. Honestly through the season so far it's been an accurate description, although the teams themselves are fairly disappointing. Four of the five teams are on pace to finish under their casino-projected totals, including Seattle and San Francisco, who I thought could take a step this season. Only 7 points separate the 1st and 5th teams for now, compared to 38, 32, and 29 in the other divisions. This one will be a fascinating one to track throughout the season, although I reckon whoever winds up making it from this division is destined for a first round exit anyway. (except whoever wins the division - they'll get the honor of getting swept by TEX in the second round instead lol).
