1. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS (6-0)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Ric Flair always said, to be the man, you\u2019ve got to beat the man, but at least he\u2019d match up against Dusty Rhodes or Sting every once in a while. The Pats\u2019 schedule is all Bill and Randy Mulkey and if you get that reference, maybe it\u2019s time to schedule a colonoscopy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS (5-0)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s awful early bye for a real contender, but the 49ers have the inside track on the NFC West unless the Rams start trading for every superstar player in the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (5-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dropping the Saints after a road win over the legend of Gardner Minshew hardly seems fair, but a win over the Bears Sunday can fix that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. GREEN BAY PACKERS (5-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s luck and then there\u2019s ref assisted luck. The Pack benefit from both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS (5-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Russell Wilson continues to drag this team to the finish line on his tiny, oompa-loompa back in spite of Brian Schottenheimer\u2019s playcalling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 5<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS (4-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The blueprint to beating the Chiefs is out there. Be a good team that doesn\u2019t screw up and catches them on the right day. This football thing is like science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. BUFFALO BILLS (4-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Josh Allen should be back and the Bills are playing the Dolphins. They\u2019ll remain in the Top 10 is what I\u2019m saying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. LOS ANGELES RAMS (3-3)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The sky isn\u2019t falling, but the Rams are turning over the roster like it\u2019s the MLB trade deadline. Fun fact: L.A. now has the Jags\u2019 2014, 2015 and 2016 first round picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 7<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. HOUSTON TEXANS (4-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If you had told me a week ago that Bill O\u2019Brien would out-coach Andy Reid on offense, I would have turned you into HR for showing up drunk to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 14<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. BALTIMORE RAVENS (4-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A win in Seattle would really show something. Specifically, it would show that the entire Seahawks team came down with Sam Darnold\u2019s mono. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 11<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. CHICAGO BEARS (3-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Is Mitchell Trubisky coming back this week? Does it matter?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. DETROIT LIONS (2-2-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Everybody wants to complain about the refs, but the Detroit Lions should file a class action lawsuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

13. CAROLINA PANTHERS (4-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t stop Kyle Allen. You can only hope to contain him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 16<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. MINNESOTA VIKINGS (4-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Vikes\u2019 receivers complained and suddenly the offense has opened up and they\u2019re winning games. Maybe wideouts shouldn\u2019t be so reserved and quiet all the time. Take a lesson here, NFL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 18<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. DALLAS COWBOYS (3-3)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I predicted a win over the Jets. Little did I know that Sam Darnold would give every Cowboy defender a mono-infected pre-game swirly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 9<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. OAKLAND RAIDERS (3-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Jon Gruden had an extra week to prepare his team for a sound defeat at the hands of the Packers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 17<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS (3-2)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The Colts had an entire bye week to wish Andrew Luck was still playing for the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 15<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (3-3)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What is it about the last two NFC Super Bowl teams this year? If it\u2019s any consolation for the Eagles, at least they won theirs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 13<\/p>\n\n\n\n

19. PITTSBURGH STEELERS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Devlin Hodges won his first start for the Steelers, so there\u2019s another quarterback the Jaguars can trade for and not use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 27<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. DENVER BRONCOS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My prediction of a Broncos surge after I jump off what was, I\u2019ll admit, a very lonely bandwagon gains steam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. ARIZONA CARDINALS (2-3-1)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This is going to be an exciting team in a year or two that will still not make the playoffs in a loaded NFC West.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. NEW YORK JETS (1-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Have I run out of Sam Darnold mono jokes already? Damn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 30<\/p>\n\n\n\n

23. CLEVELAND BROWNS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

They showed up to play in Seattle last Sunday. Unfortunately, so did the Seahawks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 23<\/p>\n\n\n\n

24. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

With the trade of Jalen Ramsey to the Rams, the Jags are officially L.A.\u2019s Triple-A team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 19<\/p>\n\n\n\n

25. LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

And the running clock on Anthony Lynn\u2019s head coaching career officially starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 21<\/p>\n\n\n\n

26. TENNESSEE TITANS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s Ryan Tannehill to the rescue, right? Right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 22<\/p>\n\n\n\n

27. NEW YORK GIANTS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

That wasn\u2019t a bad first half against the Pats last Thursday. Too bad you had to play a second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n

28. ATLANTA FALCONS (1-5)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If ever there was a week not to play the Rams, this is it. Dan Quinn, maybe dust off that resume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 28<\/p>\n\n\n\n

29. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS (2-4)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Three weeks ago people were talking about Jameis Winston stepping up. Not even a month later, we\u2019re talking about Jameis Winston stepping in it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 20<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30. WASHINGTON REDSKINS (1-5)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s your one win for the first two months of the season, Redskins. Hope you enjoyed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 29<\/p>\n\n\n\n

31. CINCINNATI BENGALS (0-6)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I would say that the Bengals are looking forward to the bye, but they\u2019d probably still be a two-score underdog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 31<\/p>\n\n\n\n

32. MIAMI DOLPHINS (0-5)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s with the Fitzpatrick appearance, Dolphins? There\u2019s no use in trying now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week: 32<\/p>\n\n\n\n
