1 – Kansas City Chiefs (Final Week: 1) – You’ll be able to say they’re not deserving of the highest spot since they nearly misplaced. However you’d be ignoring how they had been by no means really actually in peril. As we’ve been saying all alongside, they’re inevitable. They may win regardless of how bleak it seems to be. In the event you assume you’ve them beat … no, you don’t.
2 – Detroit Lions (LW: 2) – Getting back from being down 15 factors within the third quarter on the highway … in a sport the place Jared Goff threw FIVE interceptions … this staff actually has the “It’s their 12 months” really feel. Doesn’t imply they’ll really win all of it. However they’ve acquired nice vibes.
3 – Buffalo Bills (LW: 3) – The Payments are averaging 31.25 factors during the last 4 weeks. And that’s with Amari Cooper solely taking part in in two of these video games. Buffalo might actually afford to have him again for a giant battle in Kansas Metropolis this weekend. The Payments should win this to have any shot on the No. 1 seed within the AFC playoff picture.
4 – Baltimore Ravens (LW: 4) – Lamar Jackson has been lights out with 14 landing passes to zero interceptions over his final 4 video games. However that Ravens protection is in a position available.
5 – Philadelphia Eagles (LW: 5) – Following a blowout win in Dallas, the Eagles personal the NFL’s fourth-best level differential at +72. They usually’re just one level behind third place. Vic Fangio’s protection continues to dominate with simply 4 whole touchdowns allowed in Philly’s final 5 video games. That unit will now by examined by rookie sensation Jayden Daniels. If the Eagles can come out on high in opposition to Washington, they’ll be in a very good place to win the NFC East.
6 – Pittsburgh Steelers (LW: 8) – Russell Wilson remains to be a winner; the Steelers are 3-0 since he’s taken over. He’s produced seven touchdowns to only one interception for a 105.9 passer score. With a sport in opposition to Baltimore up subsequent, the Steelers can show they’re actually the highest staff within the AFC North.
7 – Washington Commanders (LW: 5) – The Commanders’ final two losses: a one-score defeat in Baltimore and a one-point defeat to Pittsburgh. With a comparatively schedule straightforward remaining schedule, they’re going to make the playoffs. It’s only a matter of being a wild card staff or a division winner.
8 – Green Bay Packers (LW: 7) – The Packers return from their bye to tackle a struggling Chicago staff.
9 – Minnesota Vikings (LW: 9) – Sam Darnold has thrown extra interceptions (5) than landing passes (three) during the last two weeks. The Vikings are wanting rather more mortal … however they do have some fairly winnable video games developing.
10 – San Francisco 49ers (LW: 12) – The Niners have gained two in a row to stabilize their season. Their subsequent three: vs. Seattle, at Inexperienced Bay, at Buffalo. It may very well be powerful to make up floor on Arizona for the NFC West lead.
11 – Arizona Cardinals (LW: 14) – Don’t look now however the Playing cards have gained 4 in a row. Regardless of this, they nonetheless solely have the Thirteenth-best level differential at +18. Whereas they’ve hardly proved they’re prepared to hold with the elites, they’ve the NFL’s eight-easiest remaining power of schedule. They’re in a stable spot to win their division.
12 – Los Angeles Chargers (LW: 15) – The Bolts are permitting simply 13.1 factors per sport. That’s fairly good. The staff permitting the second-fewest factors per sport is at 16.2. Cincy and Baltimore will take a look at the Chargers’ protection over the subsequent two weeks.
13 – Atlanta Falcons (LW: 10) – They’re in all probability going to win the NFC South however nobody is actually fearful of this staff. Shedding to New Orleans is fairly unserious.
14 – Houston Texans (LW: 11) – The Texans are in the same spot to the Falcons in that they’re going to win a weak division by default. After dropping to Detroit, Houston has a -2 level differential. Getting more healthy ought to assist this staff’s outlook however for now it’s exhausting to say they belong with the massive boys of their convention.
15 – Cincinnati Bengals (LW: 13) – Cincy is best than their 4-6 document signifies. They’ve simply been a bit unfortunate this season. It’s the other of Detroit’s “It’s their 12 months” really feel. Good however not fairly adequate.
16 – Denver Broncos (LW: 17) – The Broncos had the Chiefs beat … till they didn’t. Denver deserves credit score for enjoying KC powerful. They usually’re in all probability going to make the postseason for the reason that AFC wild card contenders aren’t very nice. But when they find yourself lacking the playoffs by one sport … that’ll be fairly brutal.
17 – Los Angeles Rams (LW: 16) – It seemed just like the Rams may go on a run to rebound from a foul begin and take over the NFC West. However a loss to Miami has them at 4-5. They may simply be extra middling than good.
18 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers (LW: 18) – Regardless of dropping 4 straight, Baker Mayfield’s scrappy Bucs aren’t lifeless but. Their subsequent three video games: at NYG, at Carolina, vs. Las Vegas. They’ve an actual likelihood to get again over .500.
19 – Miami Dolphins (LW: 26) – Humorous sufficient, the Dolphins are second within the AFC East with a 3-6 document. They’re not going to win their division however they’re not out of rivalry for a wild card spot.
20 – Seattle Seahawks (LW: 21) – The Seahawks return from their bye to tackle the 49ers, who they already misplaced to earlier this season. Should-win sport to keep away from being on the unsuitable facet of the head-to-head tiebreaker.
21 – New York Jets (LW: 19) – Seems that the Jets’ win over Houston was not a turning level. They’re simply not a very good staff.
22 – Chicago Bears (LW: 20) – Three straight losses and apparently there’s speak that Caleb Williams may very well be benched for Tyson Bagent? Yikes. Making issues worse is that Chicago has the NFL’s hardest remaining schedule. Not so positive that an offensive coordinator change goes to avoid wasting the Bears’ season.
23 – Indianapolis Colts (LW: 22) – Anthony Richardson may finally be good sooner or later however what does it say that the Colts are keen to play a struggling Joe Flacco over him? (It says that it’s totally potential that Richardson is even worse.)
24 – Cleveland Browns (LW: 24) – The Browns return from their bye to play in New Orleans. Jameis Winston returns to the Superdome.
25 – Dallas Cowboys (LW: 23) – The Cowboys already stunk with a wholesome Dak Prescott. However now they simply don’t have any likelihood to be aggressive with both Cooper Rush or Trey Lance underneath heart. Dallas is donezo.
26 – Tennessee Titans (LW: 25) – Will Levis threw two touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 10! To deliver him to seven touchdowns and 7 interceptions on the season. And one of many TD passes got here in rubbish time.
27 – New England Patriots (LW: 30) – The Pats’ win whole over/underneath getting into this season was 3.5. Jerod Mayo has the Pats at three wins with seven video games to play. Looks as if there’s some hope for this staff’s future.
28 – Las Vegas Raiders (LW: 28) – The Raiders return from their bye to play in Miami. They’re 7.5-point highway underdogs.
29 – Jacksonville Jaguars (LW: 29) – Three straight video games the place the Jags have misplaced by one possession. They’re aggressive however they’re simply not successful.
30 – Carolina Panthers (LW: 31) – Two wins in a row!!! It solely took taking part in the 2 groups presently ranked underneath them right here.
31 – New Orleans Saints (LW: 32) – The Saints had their “the pinnacle coach simply acquired fired” bump however they’ll in all probability return to dropping.
32 – New York Giants (LW: 27) – Giants followers may be glad that the Daniel Jones may lastly, mercifully be over. There’s actually no have to play him anymore. Simply roll with Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito the remainder of the way in which, tank, and get a brand new quarterback within the 2025 NFL Draft.
