My 3-0 team is GB. Tough choice for me could've been anyone of them. I went with GB because their SoS prior to the season for the three first games wasn't a cupcake. Combined that with the points they've put up in those three games: 43,42,37 third highest point differential in the league. Didn't see that coming considering the off season moves by them.

My 0-3 choice is the always underachieving ALT Falcons. All four of these teams had a difficult schedule to start the season. Two of their games went down to the wire and could've easily been won if not for their petulance for losing leads.

How the Bills have gotten to 3-0 is pretty surprising. Josh Allen looks pretty good, unironically.

Vikings being 0-3 is just... weird to me. I don't get it looking at their roster. I didn't think they'd be good, but they look awful.

I would say my Bears being 3-0 might be the biggest surprise on the winning side, but then again, they have yet to facey a really tough, winning opponent, so maybe I shouldn't be all that shocked. Now OTOH, definitely on the 0-3 side, the Vikings are the biggest surprise to me. I wudda never thunk they'd get off to such a horrid start.

IIRC, you were one of Allen’s biggest critics?

I think Allen is poop maybe he's developing though, but they were a playoff team last year. The Bears are a lot more surprising than the Bills to me.

And the Texans shouldn't be 0-3. They were a playoff team and should be doing better.

Agreed, I gave them a pass based on their SoS thus far; @ Chiefs, Ravens, @ Steelers. Tough start to their season.

The Bears are my 3-0 surprise. I figured they would snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in at least one game starting Trubisky.
For my 0-3 pick, it's Atlanta to me. With Minny close behind.
I'm not shocked at the Texans start. They've had a murderers row to go through so far and I really think they over acheived due to a weak division with a soft schedule the last two years.

Losing DeAndre Hopkins hurts too.

Given Trubs's inconsistency, the Bears. They've had two nice comebacks to get there.

Bears & Vikes... Neither are supposed to be where they are now.

3-0 Chicago. Every Time that I did predictions, I had Chicago with the 1st pick because I thought that the lack of QB play was going to cost them. I was dead wrong with this

0-3 Minnesota. I had them competing for a playoff spot, only to lose to Arizona and Philadelphia in a tiebreaker, they have underachievied this year and I blame one person....

Mostly agree but Zimmer needs to shoulder some blame. He has lost that locker room, I think.

I actually had the Bears in first and Vikings in last in my preseason guess.

I had the Falcons as a 7 or 8 win team, though.

3-0 Bears cause of Tribs at the helm
0-3 Vikings cause that roster still has talent.

I’m a huge critic of josh Allen, and becoming a huge fan. He’s not traditional imho, but he’s a wild bull n a fn gamer. Man he’s exciting, he’s switched me. There’s flaws but you roll with them for the wow moments . Little credit there @TKOSpikes
