The first few weeks of the season are almost always a clusterfuck as we struggle to figure out who is good this season that wasn't last year, who's bad this season that was good last year, and who was good last season and will actually wind up being pretty good but is just having a rough start to the year. Every season, there's always a couple early upsets that make people go "No way! The NFL is totally unpredictable this year!" and then by Week 8 or 9 we've generally got a pretty well established order of who is good and who isn't. If we get through 10 or so games and we've only got a couple 7+ win teams, then yeah, feel free to start up the nutty NFL season train. Which would be fine, haven't really had an utterly bonkers season since 2008 or so. |
Yea this is only my second year in prediction league but it seemed like last year everything was ironed out within first few games. Sure there will always be upsets but it seems like it is upset crazy this year so far. I know the Browns still suck and that is about it. I'll have to just perhaps do more research than picking the usual favorites. Sometimes I let my personal bias against a team affect my picks also such as I highly dislike the Jets and the Giants.
