1. New Orleans
2. Los Angeles Rams
3. Kansas City
4. Carolina
5. Washington
Why is New Orleans number one? Because they are the most well rounded team in the NFL with an awesome passing game, a great running attack and a defense that is coming into it’s own. The Rams have fallen off a bit but that isn’t saying much. They are still undefeated, and they know how to win ugly but I would take the Saints over the Rams in a game. The Carolina Panthers jump into the top five behind a fun offense and a pass rush that is dominating. Why is Washington here? Because Adrian Peterson is a beast, this offense is rolling, and in my opinion they are the best secondary in the league.
6. Pittsburgh
7. Seattle
8. Los Angeles Chargers
9. New England
10. Houston
The Steelers are back on track to being the second best team in the AFC. Seattle is a legit team with a good offensive line and a receiving core that is finding itself they will be tested in the coming weeks but this feels like a sneaky great second half team. The Chargers are getting Joey Bosa back at just the right time as they will try to keep pace with the Steelers and Houston is suddenly a team surging behind top ten QB Deshaun Watson, this team could be something especially if the pass rush stays hot.
11. Chicago
12. Indianapolis
13. Minnesota
14. Green Bay
15. Cincinnati
Chicago is a good team, that is what everyone tells me. I don’t see it, they are not bad but they just feel like a middle of the road operation. They don’t excite me in any way shape or form and the fact there passing game cant go deep more than two times a game makes me concerned. I know this might be a bad take but I just don’t buy into this team right now, dink and dunk is great but at some point someone is going to shut you down. The Colts on the other hand have one of the most exciting offenses in the league. This is what you get when you protect Andrew Luck and Marlon Mack is becoming an A+ back. This team has a super easy schedule I think they win out. Minnesota is somehow meh. Kirk Cousins needs to win them games like the one they lost on Sunday Night Football that is why they paid him. The Packers seem lost on offense but the defense is somewhat impressive and I cannot get a read on the Bengals.
16. Philadelphia
17. Baltimore
18. Atlanta
19. Dallas
20. Detroit
The Eagles land Golden Tate hoping that the offense will take off in the second half of the year. Baltimore adds Ty Montgomery to a stale backfield as the Ravens have gone from contenders to a team back in the mud in the AFC. Atlanta’s offense is still incredible and the defense still can not stop anyone and the Detroit Lions look like theyre giving up on there season after this Tate trade.
21. Jacksonville
22. Denver
23. Tampa Bay
24. San Francisco
25. Tennesee
Jacksonville wont find consistency at QB, Denver is in the midst of a rebuild dealing Demaryius Thomas and Tampa will now ride out the season with Ryan Fitzpatrick. This is the tier of semi hopeless teams that are set for five to seven win finishes.
26. Cleveland
27. New York Jets
28. Miami Dolphins
29. New York Giants
30. Arizona
31. Oakland
32. Buffalo
You just feel like maybe the biggest problem in the Browns building is the owner especially if reports of John Dorsey and Jimmy Haslam having a rocky relationship are true. Same old Browns at this point but with some shiny new pieces that make this head coaching spot one of the most interesting in the NFL. The Giants backup Kyle Lauletta was arrested this morning adding just another piece of chaos to a team drowning in it.
