Part of the problem with the NFL is that yes, you have Green Bay and so forth, but it just doesn't have the "flavor" that college football does, and college football has lost a lot of that. In college, you have different offenses, Michigan has the big house, Florida has the swamp, Clemson has death valley, etc... The NFL is a faceless league and after a while it all looks the same. Granted if you are playing it is intense as all can be, but for a fan it can be boring. The key to the NFL's popularity is twofold. 1) Tremendous betting / fantasy 2) it is once a week, so somewhat of an event.
