Yeah, three weeks in the schedule is a bit of a factor too. There were a few 0-2 teams who were likely pretty desperate to get a win who did like the Colts, Chiefs and Saints to avoid having their season pretty much end. So really 26 teams are all within a game of each other, that's a huge glut. Will be interesting to see how many 3-2 and 2-3 teams there are come week 5.
As it sits today only the Bengals, Cardinals, and Eagles can lay claim to an unbeaten record, and the Jaguars, Raiders, and Buccaneers are the winless teams. I think the Bengals and Eagles will most certainly make the playoffs. The Cards too are a strong contender due to this start as it gives them a two game cushion over teams like New Orleans, Green Bay, and San Francisco. I'll be surprised if one of the winless teams doesn't end up with the top pick this year. Jacksonville and Tampa both look pretty awful. The Raiders haven't been as bad, but you have to know Dennis Allen will not be their head coach next year.
