For the next 22 weeks, Over/Under will be your constant reminder that it is Football Season. Like the fat man on ESPN says, you cannot stop the hype. You can only hope to contain it. Along with the national highlights, we will comment on the hype close to home in a feature we call The Blue and Orange Kool-Aid Report.
Not to start a religious war, but have you noticed that, very much like Christmas, the football season is creeping into the national conscience earlier every year? I guess we can’t help it. We’re Americans. If Pat Robertson said, “Let’s start Christmas shopping on Labor Day,” we’d shrug and go along with the program. Because that’s who we are. Let’s face it, we Americans need help when it comes to how we allocate our time – whether it be fantasy football, Christmas shopping, Sunday afternoons, or that BSing we do with Frank in Accounting every Monday morning.
But who are we to ignore the trends of the day? We’re jumping right in. It’s never too early to gauge the hype. So here are the most Over/Under hyped teams so far.
