Rank Team Rating Notes

1 Buffalo Bills 9

Too much Sauce against the Jets and now is Josh Allen 100%

2 Kansas City Chiefs 7

Now Mahomes can beat you with his legs… MVP Trophy in clear sights

3 Philadelphia Eagles 5.5

Only flaw from last week was giving Dameon Pierce full throttle without Jordan Davis

4 San Francisco 49ers 5

Elijah Mitchell returns and paired with CMC spells big trouble vs. just about anyone

5 Dallas Cowboys 5

In a position to for a wild card playoff spot and more

6 Baltimore Ravens 3

Now 6-3 and could have been even 7-2 or better – mistakes getting cut down

7 Minnesota Vikings 3

NFC North is theirs – now Hockenson is added for more

8  Cincinnati Bengals 2.5

No RB was denied more TD scores from short distance than Joe Mixon – no longer

9 Tampa Bay Bucs 2.5

As mentioned previously, TB will make the playoffs as Division Champs

10 Tennessee Titans 2.5

Offense slept through the 2nd half vs Chiefs in what was a huge benchmark win

11 Miami Dolphins 1.5

Chubb will make a difference eventually – in the meantime it’ll take 30+ to beat Miami

12 New York Jets 1.5

Most complete game of the year – Can Zach Wilson stay exceptional?

13 Seattle Seahawks 1

Answering the call again with an all around effort – Kyler Murray sacked 4 times

14 LA Rams 0.5

Matters worsen as Stafford now needs to clear concussion protocol

15 New York Giants 0.5

Giants host the 1 win Texans Sunday – then the test for the end of the season begins

16 New England Patriots 0

5-4 and look to compete for a playoff spot no matter who the QB

17 Green Bay Packers -0.5

The “Get Right” game vs. the Lions ended the season’s playoff hopes

18 LA Chargers -0.5

Have Ekeler Will Travel

19 New Orleans Saints -1

Thoroughly outplayed on Monday night to Ravens

20 Cleveland Browns -1.5

Will Deshaun Watson play meaningful playoff football when eligible to return Dec 4? Not likely

21 Las Vegas Raiders -1.5

Up 17-0 when every sprocket came loose

22  Denver Broncos -1.5

Sold off at the trading deadline tells plenty

23  Arizona Cardinals -1.5 1

1 penalties and 3 fumbles lost in a listless performance esp in the 2nd half

24 Atlanta Falcons -2

Still fine against the spread, but the offense is showing it’s weaknesses

25 Jacksonville Jaguars  -3

Staff must be pleased in coming back down 17 with KC and Baltimore ahead

26 Chicago Bears -3.5

Justin Fields always had this game in him – Coaching staff forced him to play otherwise

27 Detroit Lions -4.5

Improbably held the Packers to 9 points… maybe not so improbable?

28  Carolina Panthers -5

One more start for PJ Walker as Carolina plans for 2023

29 Washington Commanders -5

Carson Wentz will have to come back as a starting QB here

30  Pittsburgh Steelers -5.5

Positive GM Khan will find a new Claypool with the return he got from the Bears

Credit for keeping it close for a while until the INT vs Eagles

32 Indianapolis Colts -7.5

Frank Reich now gone, and the Colts are seeking for answers the rest of the year
