This has turned out to be a very odd year across the NFL. While we Bills fans have been keenly focused on the race for the Number One seed there’s a 20+ team pile up on the road behind us and the other top seeds.
The NFC has a grand total of FOUR teams with a positive differential, and Minnesota barely squeaks into that group. Philadelphia, Dallas and San Francisco have completely lapped the field. Only 4 of the 16 teams are in the plus column.
The AFC isn’t much different. Buffalo, Kansas City, Cincinnati and maybe Baltimore are in similar positive point positions. The rest of the conference…. not so much.
I’m not sure this is what the NFL’s parity Gods envisioned but after some early ‘hopeful’ runs by some wannabe contenders, the cream has clearly risen to the top in December.
