NFL

Patriots are worse than their record

Texans are better than their record

Right now we seem like we're about right

At the end of the year I think we'll be a legit answer for "worse than our record" though. We don't really play any high end teams until week 16, then it's the Vikes twice and the Cowboys

We could win all of those or lose them all

Neither outcome will surprise me, but those last 3 games will be super telling for how good the team actually is

Bengals and Steelers imo

This year is the nicest this sub has ever been to us.

Should be better but we are honestly worst. Our offense is not playing anywhere near their potential, and our defense can't seem to show up until the 2nd half.

BAL, SF, MIA, BUF, JAX, HOU, SEA, TEN, GB, NE are all one game better than their record, LAC two games better

NYG, CAR, ATL, DEN, MIN are all one game worse than their record, LV and PHI two games worse

Booting McDaniels was definitely addition by subtraction in Las Vegas's case. But when they did have him they were over performing.

Vikings had a an insane amount of fumbles in there first few games, that’s stopped and they are on a 5 game win streak

The browns are not as good. That defense is great, top 5 in the league. But nobody is scared of that offense. I think they finish closer to .500

Cardinals are better than their record. Eagles are definitely worse than there's.

Vikings or chargers better Steelers worse

Chargers got two wins against two of the worst QB situations in the league. Every other team has given us fits, whether they’re really good or really bad.

The only reason we keep getting close games is because Herbert is very very good (though even he has had some bad games this year). Otherwise we would be getting blown out every week because our defense is AWFUL against any offense that isn’t one of the worst in the league.

Ranking records versus point differential then Pittsburgh (obviously) is the worst compared to their record and Buffalo is doing the best.

Some other notable teams doing better than their point differential (ie they're losing big but winning close) are Philly, Detroit, Seattle, Jacksonville and Cincinnati.

I'd say Philly (and to some extent Detroit) is just because they ease off the gas when they're already winning and Cincinnati is on the upswing and shouldn't be worried. But Seattle and Jacksonville could start being worried.

Chargers are better than their record

I don't wanna play this game

Objection, this question is leading and high prejudicial to my favorite team!

The Raiders should be 1 or 2 games better and that may be the difference at the end of the season

The entire NFCS is worse than their record.

The jets are better than their record imo that defense is lock down they're winning games with a rag tag offense...let them make the playoffs with rodgers coming back and watch what happens

At this point I have no idea what the Broncos are, but I'm hoping that the first few games of the season was a combination of rust from Payton being out of a locker room for a bit, and the team having new coaches and learning new schemes. Honestly, who knows. Other than the Chiefs, they haven't beaten any particularly good teams even since they started playing better a few weeks ago. And division rivalry games are weird, it seems like bad teams beat good division rivals all the time, probably because they know them so well. I guess we'll have to see how they do going forward.

Teams I don’t understand why they’re considered good: Vikings, Browns, and Steelers

Teams I don’t understand why they’re considered bad: Chargers, Titans, bills, and maybe commanders

Texans are better than their record. Holy shit CJ Stroud can ball, and he's really starting to gel with his receivers.

I'm gonna throw the Chiefs in the "worse than their record" category. They didn't score a point in the second half against Miami. They just haven't looked like world beaters this year.

My Pats are 2-8. I dunno if we're better or worse than our record, I just know we suck.

We won't be making the playoffs but no team marks us as an easy win.

Bengals and Bills

Broncos are worse than their record. Im not sure how they lucked into back to back games where both opponents shot themselves in the foot throughout the game but it happened.

Similarly mu chiefs are worse than their record. I have no idea how this defense has dragged the lifeless corpse of this offense to Ws all year, but it happened.
