The NFC has been looking amazing and they have been separating themselves in the top of the rankings. They have the best five records in football and the only bad thing is, after those five teams, the conference drops off. The AFC is more competitive with many teams still having a shot to win their division or make playoffs. Comment down below who should be higher and who should be lower.
1. Arizona Cardinals 7-0 (Last Week: 1)
Again, there should be no doubt about this one since the Cardinals are undefeated and have been playing some great football. They got off to a slow start against the Texans on Sunday but they ended up catching their stride and beating the Texans pretty bad. They are going into a huge matchup with the Packers on Thursday and if they can find a way to win that game, we could see this team get to at least eleven wins before suffering their first loss.
2. Los Angeles Rams 6-1 (Last Week: 2)
The Rams continue to roll and they stay in the same spot as they were last week. They hung close to the Lions on Sunday but the Lions have been playing most teams close for a part of their games. The Rams are sticking with the Cardinals in the NFC West and this division could come down to the last few weeks of the year. I still have the Rams pulling out the division when the season ends because I think the Cardinals will fall off a little bit.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 6-1 (Last Week: 3)
The top three stays the same this week as the Buccaneers destroyed the Bears on Sunday. There could be a debate on whether or not the Buccaneers could be ahead of the Rams but they did lose to them earlier in the year. I think the Buccaneers look better than they did last year which makes them scary when they get to the playoffs. It is also looking like they will get at least a home playoff game in the first round, something they did not get last year.
4. Buffalo Bills 4-2 (Last Week: 5)
The Bills get put ahead some one-loss teams because they are just a more complete team in my mind. Their one loss came in the first game of the year and their second came against a good Titans team. If they have a bad game or lose another game, they might fall pretty far in these rankings if the teams behind them continue to perform well.
5. Dallas Cowboys 5-1 (Last Week: 6)
The Cowboys are close to surpassing the Bills but I need to see a little more from them to push them over the Bills. Their defense has been great and Dak Prescott has been playing football at the level he was last year. They should be able to walk into the playoffs with the NFC East being so bad. They are three wins over the other three teams and they have played one less game. They Cowboys can make some noise in the playoffs and maybe even make it to the Super Bowl.
6. Green Bay Packers 6-1 (Last Week: 7)
The Packers continue to roll ever since their week one loss to the Saints. They have woken up and now they get to play the undefeated Cardinals on Thursday night. They might be missing two of their top targets as well because of COVID protocols. If they end up losing on Thursday, they should not fall too far in these rankings since they will be playing an undefeated team without some key players on offense.
7. Cincinnati Bengals 5-2 (Last Week: 9)
Who could have expected the Bengals to be in this position? They are currently first in the AFC North and they hold the number one seed in the AFC as well. They just blew out the Baltimore Ravens on the Ravens home turf and continue to roll. They are shooting up these rankings and if they continue to win, you might see them in the top five as early as next week.
8. Tennessee Titans 5-2 (Last Week: 10)
The Titans are on a roll and the only thing holding them back from being higher in these rankings is their loss to the Jets. They could very easily be 6-1 right now with their only loss being to the Cardinals. If that was the case, they would be in the number four spot in these rankings. The Jets loss really shoots them down but if they can pull off wins in their next two games, they will probably be top five. They have to play the Colts, who are playing better football now, and the Rams in those next two.
9. Baltimore Ravens 5-2 (Last Week:4)
The Ravens got handled pretty easily on Sunday against the Bengals. They have now dropped to second in the AFC North but fans should not panic because they should be just fine. The Ravens will probably still win the division with the Browns having plenty of injuries and the Bengals could fall off because of the young team that they have.
10. Los Angeles Chargers 4-2 (Last Week: 8)
The Chargers are still a good team they just fell in the rankings this week because they were on a bye week and some teams behind them had a great week. They can get back up in these rankings if they can have a good week.
