I find it funny that in american football you entertain the thought that any team can make it. In NHL you knew before the start of the previous season Chicago, Sharks, Ducks aint got nothing to do with playoffs.
In premier league soccer you know that Fulham, Brentford, Ipswich etc aint got a chance for the cup.
But in american football, where the Giants are predicted to be 5th worst team in the league, fans still dream of winning it big, or making the playoffs.
Maybe its the short regular season and playoff format that keeps peoples hopes alive.
Im now dreaming of Commanders making the playoffs with the 2-1 start we got
a sweeet pipedream!
