The Excitement Factor

The NFL this year has been severely lacking in excitement. Whether it's been the Patriots just destroying everyone, the Colts methodical plug-in approach, the severe lack of quality quarterbacking or just some thoroughly mediocre play, this season has been fairly boring. However, each week I find myself looking forward to a bunch of games anyways, games that end up being exciting. Henceforth, I have concocted a completely unscientific, probably biased and certainly flawed Excitement Factor meter. So, each Sunday for the rest of the season, simply look at the schedule, and then add up the two team's totals using the Excitement Factor meter and you'll know what games to watch. You're welcome.
