The end of the first month of any season carries with it more than a bit of uncertainty. There are only six months, roughly speaking, in a campaign, so the data generated in those early weeks is one-sixth of the data we'll end up with by late September. But it's not enough for us to let go of the expectations for the season established by things like preseason predictions, betting markets, analytical projections and our own set of preconceived projections.
In other words, we know some of what we've seen so far is real, some is fodder for dreamers and the exact split of those things is unknown.
