🏈 There’s Historic NFL Parity – And It’s Weird

The 2022 NFL season is a win-win for fans and teams, expect the Raiders. [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with Martin Rogers: Outside of the Raiders, every NFL team has avoided the ignominy of beginning the season with a dour and derisory record of 0-3 .… Several college football teams are providing a path to get a program back on track … and more! We are only three weeks into the NFL season and some weirdly bemusing stuff is happening in the National Football League. And we're not even talking about butt punts, quarterbacks strolling out the back of the end zone and outrageous one-mitted catches. Forgive us here, for things are about to get a little stat-heavy, partly because the numbers are really darn unusual, and mostly because I felt stupid when I looked at my son's ninth-grade algebra homework last week and football math is math I can comprehend. With a single exception — yes, we’re looking at you, Las Vegas Raiders — every team has avoided the ignominy of beginning the season with a dour and derisory record of 0-3. We will get deeper into all this soon, but that's not normal. On the flip side, there's been no spate of serial winning either, and the tiny list of teams to remain perfect (the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Miami Dolphins) form such an unlikely trio that you're forgiven for questioning whether the football gods just inadvertently inhaled some of Aaron Rodgers' South American medicine. So, what's going on and why is no one winning — or losing — very much? A bunch of ties? Nope, that's not it. It's just parity. Parity to an extreme level. Indeed, so much even-handedness that it makes the collective results of the campaign's early jousts feel like a drastic numerical outlier, which they are.

[BET OF THE DAY] Odds provided by [FOX Bet]( Dallas Cowboys vs. New York Giants: Giants -1.5 Pick via FOX Sports Betting Analyst Sam Panayotovich: The betting market just keeps going against my Giants. New York opened as a 3-point home favorite in this spot, and respected play has knocked the point spread down to -1 almost everywhere (currently -1.5). That’s pretty wild, considering nobody wanted to bet the Cowboys against the Buccaneers and Bengals, but after one upset with Cooper Rush under center, the Dallas money has re-entered the chat. Hmmm. I understand most people aren’t excited to lay points with Daniel Jones and that roller coaster New York offense, but Wink Martindale is pushing all the right buttons with the defense. And give me Brian Daboll over Mike McCarthy eight days a week. For the latest betting odds, [click here](.
