Slumped teams

Well, I guess the simple answer to the question is that the schedules are made ahead of time, and you never know how a team is going to turn out until the games are played. Who would have thought that the Steelers would be sitting at 2-6 at this point, or that the Ravens would be leading their division?
The things that are going on during this season are a perfect example of why you can never look at the schedule and chalk up anything as easy or hard. You just have to wait and see.
