NFL ='s Parity

• hoops23

  

  Just saw that 20 teams have 2 losses or more.
  
  One undefeated team @ 3-0 in the Kansas City Chiefs, who ironically currently has no wins over a team that's above .500.
  
  The Colts, last years AFC champ, is already 2-2 and 0-2 in the division.
  
  4 teams currently sit at 0-4.
  
  The Browns, who sit at 1-3, have been outscored by opponents for a whopping 9 points on the season.
  
  This is pretty much why everybody loves the NFL. It truly is a year-to-year league.

  Everyone loves the NFL because of gambling and fantasy football. No one cares about parity.

  No shit (directed toward Hoops, not the stupid comment). It is amazing how you can't predict what's happening from week to week in the NFL. Like, me and my mom have (from when my dad was alive) done a just-for-fun "pick-the-winners" (ie: no spread or anything like that) for every week of every season for probably 25 years or so.
  
  I follow the league like it's meth and I'm Mantooth. With one game to go, I'm 6-7 this week. And 3-4 of those losses were games I thought were pretty much sure things. I'm hooked because I have no idea what'll happen any given week.

  Exactly. I made 10 grand one year betting college football and almost every year I come out a grand ahead. The absolute best I've done betting NFL is down $500 and that was over the course of an entire season. It's too hard so I don't bet anymore.

  I don't care for the parity to be honest. It's almost like watching Nascar. The NFL tries too hard to make it even.

  I don't think the parity thing will hold up for an entire season. I bet just about anyone on here would still be able to pick 9 or 10 of the 12 teams that will end up in the playoffs.
  
  The Colts are pissing me off though. Their over/under wins before the season was set at 10.5, and they've won 11 or more games for about 72 straight seasons so I thought it was a lock. Looks like I'm gonna be sweating that one out now.

  This. There is always one game you can bet the house on in CFB.
  
  That said I don't really like the NFL, because to win in the NFL you MUST have one thing. A great QB. The other pieces you can put together in a matter of a season or two and the franchise can be turned around. Granted you need to have a competent defense but every team has had one of those in the past 10 years, not every team has had a Super Bowl caliber QB. Upsets and unexpected results still happen in CFB, and there is much more going on with confrences and styles of play in CFB I like much more.
