Rank Team Rating Notes

1 BUF 10

Bye

2 KC 7

KC leads the NFL with big plays: 22 receptions of 25 or more yards shows why no lead is safe

3 DAL 5

5 turnovers caused by the Cowboys defense making a case for championship contention

4 PHI 5

Bye: Acquiring DE Robert Quinn from the Bears helps an already potent pass rush

5 CIN 4.5

Burrow now in top gear and the Bengals at 4-3 have made their 1st two games a distant memory

6 TB 3

NFC South a total mess and the division will be won by TB

7 BAL 3

Lamar Jackson (510) has more rushing yards than the Buccaneers (451) or Rams (423) offensive total

8 SF 3

McCaffery will be an excellent addition but it’s the D that needed a boost

9 LV 2

Raiders resurging not due to Carr/Adams connection but from a rejuvenated Jacobs

10 LAR 1.5

Bye

11 TEN 1.5

4 straight wins and the trajectory is aiming for double digit wins now

12 NO -1

Penalties just racking the team over and over

13 MIA 1

Heavy rust showed in a nailbiter vs. doormat Steelers

14 MIN 1.5

Bye

15 JAX -0.5

Jags now plow forward with Etienne full time at RB

16 SEA 0

Easily the most surprising team in the NFL: Seattle is tops in the division

17 ARI -0.5

10 catches for Hopkins paid immediate dividends

18 NYG 0.5

6-1 without a WR having more than 200 yards on the season has to be record

19 GB -1.5

Packers just an avg offense now that they have forgotten the run

20 NE -1.5

Is it Jones’ team, or Zappe’s?

21 DEN -2

Different QB, same results

22 CLE -2

2-5 was expected – just not this excruciating a path

23 LAC -2

Not looking like the Chargers year (again) with another key injury (Mike Williams)

24 ATL -2

Offense looks confusing as targets are not there for London and Pitts

25 NYJ -1.5

Losing Hall and Vera-Tucker will be significant as Zach Wilson is not winning games for the Jets

26 CHI -3

Perhaps the best performance of Fields’ young career vs Pats

27 HOU -3.5

Clear needs exist for the Texans to compete in the conference

28 PIT -4

Steelers need to play perfect football with this squad to win any games

29 DET -4.5

5 second half TOs for the offense buried the team’s hopes for a big win

30 CAR -6.5 Panthers believed in each other last Sunday, if just for one game

31 WAS -6.5

Winning ugly still counts in the standings, but the path is still impossible

32 IND -6.5

Colts don’t expect to win the division with Ehlinger at QB, do they?
