We may be hitting an era of unprecedented parity in the NFL.
After three weeks, 28 of 32 teams had either one or two wins. After six weeks, that parity continues to hold. There are four teams at the top with five or six wins and four more at the bottom with one. The other 24 teams are piled up in the middle with two, three or four wins each.
With so few great teams, it feels like anyone can win at any time. This has been the season of the underdog. So far, 2022 ‘dogs are 55-38-1, covering an impressive 59% of the time.
To make matters worse, three of those four teams at the top are off this week on a bye. The 6-0 Eagles, 5-1 Bills and 5-1 Vikings will sit this one out, along with the defending Super Bowl-champion Rams.
