Bik's Thursday Night Week 5 Pick: Identifying Identities

Through 4 weeks in the NFL season we’ve learned some things. Now in years past I’ve felt the things we’ve learned at this time of the year to be fake. After all Arizona recently started the year 4-0, Bills started 4-1, Raiders were 3-2, and Falcons were 2-3. But for some reason this year some of the fast starts seem very authentic. The teams that were supposed to be good, actually are good. Now there might be a few surprises here and there, but certainly not to the same level we’ve seen in years past. Considering who the Chiefs opened the season against, it wasn’t a crazy notion to see them start the season at least 3-1, so 4-0 isn’t that big of a stretch. More of the surprise teams are in that 2-2 range where we didn’t expect them to be as good and really they’ve just been unlucky so far (I.e. San Diego, Tennessee) but we still don’t know enough about them.
