What have we learned in the first four weeks of this NFL season, other than were damn glad football is finally back? We know there are a number of quality teams that are playing some really good football. Then there are those teams you wouldnt bring home to mother.
Picking a Super Bowl winner at this point is near impossible. For example, football odds list the Ravens, Colts, Vikings, Patriots, Saints, Giants, Eagles, Steelers and Chargers all between five- and 10-to one to win. Its uncommon to see that many teams all bunched together at the top of the pack of NFL betting, but the league wanted parity and thats what it got.
In addition to those nine, there are a number of middle of the pack teams that still have time to make a push. And then there are the teams we can make fun of.
Ladies and gentlemen, sportschump.net hereby presents the Good, the Bad and the Fugly.
