NFL Power Rankings Week 4

     Another action-packed week of NFL football has ended and it has separated some teams from the rest of the pack. Comment down below what teams should be in the top 10 and which teams should be higher or lower.

1. Arizona Cardinals 4-0 (Last Week: 2)

    There should be no debate in this one since the Cardinals are the last unbeaten team in the NFL. They have gotten to this point by beating some good teams including the Los Angeles Rams. If Kyler Murray can keep up his level of play, this team could easily find themselves in the Super Bowl. They dominated the Rams on Sunday and that was a huge statement win for this team. They now get to face another divisional opponent next week when they host the 49ers.

2. Los Angeles Rams 3-1 (Last Week:1) 

    Despite their loss on Sunday to the Arizona Cardinals, the Rams are a very good team with all the makings to be a Super Bowl contender. They beat last years Super Bowl champion and have had two other solid wins. Matthew Stafford is going to have to keep up a consistent level of play for this team to be as great as hey can be. I believe the Rams will still be able to win the NFC West because I do not believe the Cardinals level of play is sustainable.

3. Buffalo Bills 3-1 (Last Week: 4)

    The Bills had a horrible loss in week 1 to the Pittsburgh Steelers and ever since then, they have looked like a powerhouse. They have been destroying every opponent they have played and their defense looks as good as ever. They have beaten up on some bad to overage teams but they have done it convincingly. I have to admit, I was worried about this team and Josh Allen but I am now confident that we will see them playing far into the playoffs.

4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 3-1 (Last Week: 3)

    Some flip-flopping in the rankings so far, as the Buccaneers come in at number 4.  The Buccaneers narrowly escaped the New England Patriots on Sunday night for a win and they have looked shaky so far. They have time to figure things out, but I do not see this team making the Super Bowl again this year if they cannot figure some things out. It all relies on how well Tom Brady can play down the stretch of the season.

5. Los Angeles Chargers 3-1 (Last Week: 9)

    The Chargers have looked really good in the first four weeks of the season and they have beaten two contenders in the AFC West in that time. It is a great time to be a sports fan is Los Angeles with two winning football teams and plenty of other good teams in the area. I believe that the Chargers can compete with the Chiefs for the division title as they go down the stretch.

6. Cleveland Browns 3-1 (Last Week: 5)

    The Brown fall one position this week only because of the Chargers last two wins being against really solid teams. The Browns are still the best team in the AFC North in my opinion after they beat the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. They only gave up seven points to the Vikings, who were putting up plenty of points in their first three weeks. If the Browns' offense can play solidly, the defense can carry this team to a division title.

7. Dallas Cowboys 3-1 (Last Week: 8)

    The Cowboys have improved a ton since last year. They have got Dak Prescott back and their defense is looking great as well. I have to admit that I was wrong about this team by not putting them in my playoff predictions before the season started. This is a playoff team and they should be able to win the NFC East and host a playoff game. The Cowboys have beaten the 3-1 Chargers and Panthers which are really nice wins to pick up as well.

8. Baltimore Ravens 3-1 (Last Week: 7)

    The Ravens are slowly sliding back in my rankings mostly because the teams that have been behind them, have had better weeks recently. The Ravens will be fighting for that NFC North crown in the end of things but they are not the favorite right now in my opinion. There seems to be a ton of 3-1 teams and they are just not one of the best ones as of now. 

9. Las Vegas Raiders 3-1 (Last Week: 6)

    The Raiders take a little fall in the rankings this week because of their loss to the Chargers. They got handled pretty well and Derek Carr did not have that good of a game. The Raiders lost to a Chargers team who beat the Chiefs a week prior so they should not have to worry too much. I think they will more than likely end this season as the third-place team in the AFC West but who knows they could surprise us.

10. Green Bay Packers 3-1 (Last Week: NR)

    After a horrible week 1 performance, the Packers have found their groove and have rattled off three wins in a row. The Packers will easily win the NFC North and find themselves in the playoffs with Aaron Rodgers for possibly the last time befor he moves to another team next year.
