They've obviously beat the Vikings (who the hell knows) and Packers so far this year and they're doing the Bills thing of running up the score on shit teams.... not saying they're a bad team or they aren't legit, they're just far less proven than people are making them out to be.
They're currently the 2020 Bills of fake hype.
I don’t typically believe in peaking “too early”, because you don’t want your team to ever play poorly. It’s not like we should be happy when the Chiefs struggle at points during the regular season.
That said, Detroit is on absolute fire right now and I have a hard time believing they can keep this up. It’s the NFL. We’ve seen a lot of teams blow out bad teams just to have that regular season success not translate in the postseason.
Teams like Buffalo, Baltimore, and Miami will look unstoppable one week then look lost later.
