Is the NFL becoming bi-polar nature becoming a problem?

As a entity that tries to pay attention to all aspects of the football spectrum, from stats to betting lines, and one thing that jumps out is the discrepancy between the top and bottom teams this year. In previous years, when you saw a 14-point plus line it was cause for trepidation and fear of a ‘bear trap’, but this year the dogs just aren’t barking and there’s no harbinger that shows that they won’t continue to be tamed. Last week alone three favs laid over two touchdowns and covered easily (Pat, Colts, Packers) and the Jets proved to be a steal at -10. Approaching the mid-way point in the season and still no “Dog Day Afternoon” where the battered and beaten rise up against the powerful. Unfortunately for dog lovers and the NFL in general it appears that for the first time in years there is a real continental divide between the best and the worst, the gap is substantial, and widening faster than a California fault line. Speaking of California, one of the culprits are the Raiders, whose management is so bad there is talk of having Al ‘Don’ Davis ruled incompetent. Sticking with bad management, the Redskins have proven that money can not buy happiness, as they still have not mastered the art of currency exchange, while trying to convert US Dollars to US wins. Ironically, these are not the most critical patients. 20% of the league has one or no wins, making for a ton of games that no one wants to see either because there’s nothing at steak or the inevitable blowout like last weekend. This is something the league has to consider any time the subject of salary cap comes up as although it’s not an 162 game season, you’ve already got games being blacked out and teams eliminated from playoff contention and we haven’t even handed out candy or cut the turkey yet. And if you support one the afore mentioned clubs, you may be entitled to a 50% refund on your NFL Sunday Ticket because it may not be used come November. Is the good/bad situation in the NFL serious? Can you see some of the bad teams making their season respectable? Let us know here and in any of the quick links.
