Crazy Parity in NFL

Chuck 54 · Nov 25, 2018

Only 8 teams have more wins than Dallas’ 6; only 3 in the NFC.
Whatever happens next Sunday, if Dallas stays healthy and gets some guys back, Cowboys should be relevant right through week 17.

The fact that the Browns are still alive in the playoff race is insane.

The parity is what the NFL wants. The league would love for all the teams to be 8-8 to finish. Dallas may take the L against the Saints, which would deadlock the division with four games to go. Dallas will need to win out to control their own fate. Dallas is primed to make noise.

The Colts, Eagle, Bucs and Giants should all be wins. Don't be surprised when Dallas beat the Saints. This team has a ton of momentum to beat the Saints.

Dallas will beat the Saints 27-24

The reason why I like the NFL more so than the NBA and MLB. My reds can't go out and spend the money that the Yanks and Sox can spend to compete, you don't have a lot of let's form a super team like in the NBA. Every team is on the same playing field in the NFL.

While most of the league is still in playoff race there’s just a handful of serious contenders for the SB.

Who actually thinks anyone outside the Saints, Rams, Pats, Steelers and Chiefs have a legit shot?

Once you get in anyone can win. There's been WC teams that run the table at the Right time. NE was 18-0 when they lost to a WC team that got hot at the right time.

Parity, or mediocrity, I'm on the latter!!

What we have in the NFL is teams with a Super QB which elevates them above the rest of the NFL.

This is what the Salary Cap era has created.

But that’s not the norm. It’s why it’s called an upset.

I don't trust Andy Reid. The Squeelers have been a disappointment in recent years. The Rams I'm still not too sure of in the playoffs. The Saints and Pats are really the most legit to me.

That's the beauty of it. It CAN happen, if not, why even bother. May as well move on to basketball.

Anyone beyond that?

Sure, in a one game elimination anything can happen. The best team doesn’t always win but the 1st and 2nd seeds have a distinct advantage.

I went into a season ranked 7th in an 8 team district. We ran the table and won the district and ended up state ranked. Sometimes being the underdog is a good thing.

Doesn't matter to the brass as long as those week 16 and 17 games are meaningful.
