We are still in the "last year carry over" mode. I would give it usually week 5 or 7 to know how teams are. So right now, the lions are the better team.
It's only week 3 so of course there is a lot of overhype. ESpn polls and analysts are ranking the fucking Cardinals as one of the top three teams in the Nfl based on record alone in week 3 and the hive mind follows.
It happens every year. Cardinals may make the playoffs due to there shitty and cheating division but they would be an easy last place in the NFC North if we swapped them with our bottom dweller the Vikings.
