Week 10 Power Rankings

1) New Orleans Saints
    Ladies and Gentleman, your new Super Bowl favorites. This team showed me this week that they are the most creative, dynamic, and unselfish offense in the whole league. The defense is also becoming more of what we thought they can be. There run defense is nasty, even without Marcus Davenport. The Saints are in real good shape, I just wish they would play more man to man instead of zone. One more thing: Drew Brees is not the MVP, this is a running football team now dependent on how well Sean Payton can create greatness from Drew Brees and Kamara. Still playing out of his mind football though.

2) LA Rams
    This game exposed the game plan for beating the LA Rams: play surgical offense and keep the ball out of Todd Gurley’s hands. If you do that, then you have a chance. It just so happens that the Rams played the perfect team to beat them. Last I checked, Sean McVay is still the Head Coach, Wade Phillips is the DC, and Gurley is still the presumptive Offensive MVP (should be MVP), this team will be fine. The only worry I have is that this team has legit problems stopping big plays from being game-changing plays, they give up too many 50 yard plays for my liking. They need Talib back because whatever happened to Peters is legit terrifying if you are a Rams fan.

3) Kansas City Chiefs
    Another day another 3 TD game for Mahomes and the scariest offense in the sport. I think we are watching the assergence of Kareem Hunt as a possible superstar in this league. While the other teams ahead of them can slice and dice anyone they face, the Chiefs can just chop you in half over and over again. I trust no team more in this league to get 7. The only thing stopping me from having them number 1 is that their defense is simply okay outside Dee Ford.

4) New England Patriots
    This offense is unstoppable. They are able to consistently get 7 yard gains and 30 yard games at will. Much like the Saints, an all time great QB is now playing through their running game except their only real RB has been sidelined. This team is playing without Gronk and Sony, yet are still performing at an elite level. Most importantly for the Patriots, the defense is stepping up to serviceable. As a person who has been the “Patriots hater” of the year. I may be eating crow now.

5) Carolina Panthers
This team impresses me more and more each week. Part of me really wants to put them ahead of the Saints because I secretly think this may just be the best team in the South. I think this team is incredibly star-driven with both sides playing lights out until garbage time. I think Cam Newton is way more of an MVP than Drew Brees, and I do not think it is close. Every playmaker on the offense can score on any touch, defenses beware.

6) Pittsburgh Steelers
    Despite all the Le’Veon drama, this offense is chugging along just fine. Much like the Chiefs. they can just hammer you away until you beg for mercy. They can be up 20 like that. The defense is also really impressing me. There may be no pass defense, but you try running the ball against Tuitt, Hayward, and Hargrave. Those three could each bench 5 WCBN members with no problem and take up about double the average space of a WCBN member. I think this team can do some real damage, and are firmly in contention with the Patriots and Chiefs for best team in the AFC. Where’s all the Mike Tomlin haters now?!

7) Chicago Bears
    I know it was against the Bills and Trubisky only played below average, but I don’t care. I LOVE THIS TEAM. This team has everything I want except a wide receiving core. Trubisky might be the best running QB in the sport, including Watson. The defense still looked dominant (again against Nathan Peterman and the Bills) even without Khalil Mack, with Leonard Floyd finally coming into his own. Expect Tarik Cohen to bounce back because he is a force in the pass game. This team WILL win the NFC North barring injuries. Chicago fans will still call for Trubisky’s head.

8) LA (San Diego) Chargers
    Color me impressed with their win over the Seahawks. I just saw nothing other than good defense that really stood out to me. Everyone on offense looked...fine. That’s not how they should be playing when they are in the playoff hunt, even with a shot for the Division. I hope this is an outlier because when this team gets Bosa back the defense will be an elite unit. I just hope the offense catches up.


9) Houston Texans
    The league leader barely scraped by against the Broncos by the skin of their teeth and a dominant defense. This team can make noise, but this game proved that the 2 game stretch of good O Line play was just a fluke, granted they played Von Chubb. I have no doubt this team will win the division, but I now have doubt about them in the postseason. If you can’t block, how are you ever supposed to get any production out of Lamar Miller.

10) Minnesota Vikings
    This is more indicative of my feelings for the Bears than of the Vikings, who I think will be in the playoffs, and a dangerous voice in it. The offense looks amazing, and Dalvin Cook seems to be officially back and like the teams before, they can score a lot of points. I just still question this defense and their O-line play. With a decent pass rush Kirk Cousins will be in trouble, and moving forward this WILL be a problem for them. Their secondary’s issues are seeming better but I am not convinced they are solved. I think at the end of the day the Vikings are a good team, who’s best year was last year. Danielle Hunter; however, is my new man-crush.

11) Philadelphia Eagles
    I have faith that this team will figure it out, and against the sickening division rival Cowboys this week, expect this to be the Eagles’ second half coming out party. Carson Wentz is about to prove how last year was no fluke, and with Golden Tate now on squad, this team can now be more creative than ever. Watch out, because with a week off to incorporate the new pieces and get people healthy, the Eagles may prove that they can beat anyone.

12) Cincinnati Bengals
    The perennially second Wild-Card team Bengals are back at it again after a BYE and a Ravens loss. Unfortunately for the Bengals, AJ Green will be out for 2 crucial games against the Saints and the Ravens, but the good news is that the Ravens don’t seem in it, and the rest of the Wild-Card picture seems scarce, unless the Broncos all of a sudden heat up and the Jags find a way to get rid of Bortles.

13) Washington Football Team
    This team is showing who they really are. They are a team you cannot trust to score points and are reliant on aging Adrian Peterson and Alex Smith. I’m sorry this team is not built to win. Their defense is carrying them in games because the Bama Bros on the D Line are playing exceptional football. This is an overachieving team that still may make the playoffs.

14) Miami Dolphins
    No team won an uglier game all year than the Dolphins this past Sunday. They are in this slot purely because of record. I can’t in good conscience trust a team with Brock Osweiler as QB. I think this team could very well lose every game moving forward. If they don’t give the ball to Kenyan Drake more I will scream.

15) Atlanta Falcons
    Huh, their offense can thrive, even though they aren’t very creative. The Falcons can somehow reach the playoffs this season. They only play 2 teams with a winning record and both (Panthers, Saints) are in their division. This team is still in this. I just don’t trust the defense to not blow games for them, and holding Washington to 14 doesn’t impress me.

16) Seattle Seahawks
    Russell Wilson is a god. Yes, they lost to a good Chargers team, but they almost beat them exclusively because of what Wilson is able to do. This team will do nothing special, but has eked their way into playoff consideration based on their leader. Watch out for the New Baby Boomers in Seattle’s Secondary, Tedric Thompson looks legit.

17) Baltimore Ravens
    I thought this year was different, but it looks as though the Ravens are heading towards a 7-9, 8-8 team for the same reasons as the last two years: lack of puss rush, and no explosive playmakers. Crabtree and John Brown does not a team make. Hopefully they figure it out during their BYE week, but it may just be too late.

18) Green Bay Packers
    This gives me no joy. Aaron Rodgers can only do so much on his own. This team is just impressive. They give up a lot of points, and the offense is too basic to do anything about catching up. This may be the year Mike McCarthy loses his job or at least play calling duties. This team needs to figure out some identity outside Aaron Rodgers (FREE AARON JONES!!!!). I think they need to build around Jaire Alexander because already he is a top 6 CB in football.

19) Tennessee Titans
    This is how the Titans win games. Stop the run and control pace of play. Mariota may have fumbled twice, but he played his best game all season and showed real signs of guts out there. Harold Landry is the bend king of the NFL. The Titans may not make the playoffs, but they are a hard team for anyone to play.

20) Detroit Lions
    The Lions looked pathetic on Sunday, even though their defense played really well against a really good Minnesota offense. The offense just couldn’t get going on account of Danielle Hunter owning a permanent residence in the Lion’s backfield. The Lions will not contend, the season is now about improvement. Show progress from your players. Show that Hand, Tabor, Davis, Johnson and Golladay are legitimate building blocks.

21) Jacksonville Jaguars
    Blake Bortles. Great Defense. Nothing has changed.

22) Dallas Cowboys
    I think it is okay to admit that Dak Prescott is a bad QB. Until Monday night I had always thought he was okay, but now I think he is the problem, and opposing teams know that. The reason that Zeke is playing only okay is because they know Dak won’t be able to take advantage of their single coverage. Let’s call this the Bortles/Fournette Conundrum. The Cowboys are in trouble and nothing would make me happier than Jerry reaching on a QB in this years draft.

23) Indianapolis Colts
    This team is coming off a BYE which allows Jack Doyle and TY Hilton to get fully healthy. This team will continue to be a headache for me. The best garbage time team takes on Jacksonville in a true test to see if Andrew Luck is truly back and that Bortles is truly bad (HINT: Both are true).

24) Denver Broncos
    This team is just on autopilot right now. Waiting for a decent team to fall in their lap. I think the whole team has lost some confidence and fight since the Demaryius Thomas trade. I think the defense is just getting tired of not contending, and except for the development of Lindsay and Sutton, there isn’t much else to play for.

25) Tampa Bay Buccaneers
    We have now reached the final stage of Fitzmagic. After winning surprising games, being bad, then being bench, then taking over for the “franchise QB”, Fitzmagic is now in the stage of playing great football and putting up a lot of points, while losing every single game. Have fun Tampa Bay.

26) Cleveland Browns
    New coach, same Browns; treading water waiting for next year. Only this time they only have 1 pick in the first round. Baker is playing well, so is Chubb, so is Njoku, Peppers isn’t, Myles Garrett is A top 5 defensive player, they got rid of Hue Jackson. In my book, that’s a wrap on a successful Browns season. Better luck next year

27) San Francisco 49ers
    I love the Nick Mullins story as much as anyone else. However, every play he made was to a WIDE open receiver. This game proved three things to me, Kyle Shanahan is a genius, CJ Beathard sucks, and Nick Mullins will be an OC in 8 years. The defense is playing better. I wish I could cure an ACL tear for this team.

28) NY Jets
    This team is becoming a dumpster fire. They cannot take care of the football game and the turnover problems Darnold had in college seem to be substantiated in the NFL. Granted his O Line and whole team are terrible. I hope they can figure something out, but their defense next year can be special

29) Arizona Cardinals
    This team was on a BYE. Not much to say. Keep Josh Rosen healthy. Don’t kill David Johnson.

30) NY Giants
    Another BYE week so I can’t go off on Eli again. I like how they didn’t sell during the trade deadline because the players they have will have more value in the offseason. JUST FIND A NEW QB I DON’T CARE IF HERBERT DECLARES OR NOT.

31) Oakland Raiders
    This team played bad, Derek Carr played bad, but it was a short week. I don’t know what else to say about a team that has clearly given up on this year.

32) Buffalo Bills
    Their defense should make it impossible for them to be this low. That is how bad their offense is, and how bad their QB and receivers, and lineman, and even Shady are. This team may be one of the worst offensive rosters ever. No Joke. If I was a fantasy player, every week, play the defense playing them. I hate this placing because the people of Buffalo deserve more. But they have Nathan Peterman so this is where we stand.

​The lights in Crisler Center lower and the moment the crowd has been waiting for has arrived. The replays from last season flash across the big screen in the middle of the court. Jordan Poole’s famous buzzer beater has each fan's heart beating faster. Nostalgia washes over the arena. John Beilein cuts the net from the Big Ten Championship game. Memories of a season passed flood everyone’s minds.
What does that leave the Michigan Wolverines with now? With Mo Wagner off to LA with the Lakers and Duncan Robinson in Miami with the Heat, the remaining Wolverines have big shoes to fill. Coming off a win over Northwood on Friday, the team is just breaking through the possibilities of the season.
        Tuesday night brought loyal fans to celebrate the 63-44 win over Norfolk State, giving Beilein his 800th win in his coaching career. Although the Norfolk State Spartans are not the “Spartans” the team is used to competing against, they showed the same amount of hustle that they normally bring against every team, big rivalry or not.
This team showed impressive defensive skills that seemed finer tuned than last year. Each player was hungry for rebounds and went after each Spartan with intense double and triple teams that resulted in 12 turnovers throughout the game. This was crucial in allowing the team to get the ball back and try their shot at increasing the score gap. The team was not afraid to attack the opposing players, which will be essential for them to keep up throughout the season.
Returning starter Isaiah Livers showed his defensive abilities last night producing eight rebounds, while Jon Teske was the game’s leading scorer with 13 points as well as 8 rebounds. A new face also came on the court last night. Freshman forward, Ignas Brazdeikis proved he earned the starting position as the second leading scorer for the Wolverines with 12 points shooting 5-7 from the line. The team flowed well together mirroring the abilities of how they looked last year at the NCAA Tournament. As the team begins their road to March, they take each game between now and then as an opportunity to improve and prove that they are still #1 in the Big Ten.
Moving forward in the season, there is hope to return to the same place the team was last year. Defeating ranked opponents, conquering the Big Ten, and making it to the NCAA Championship brought a new energy to the Michigan basketball fans. Hope filled the fans on Tuesday as they started off a new season with a new team. Excitement motivates this team to not only mirror the 2017-2018 team but one up them and bring home Michigan’s second NCAA Championship. 

What do you do when Chase Winovich and Devin Bush tell you to get loud? You get loud, obviously, and that is exactly the mentality the Michigan fans took yesterday evening. The Michigan Wolverines had major energy surging through the stadium, which gave them the motivation to dominate the Penn State Nittany Lions 42-7.
 
From the beginning of the game until the end, the Wolverines played better football than we’ve seen in any game this year. With 8 minutes left in the first quarter, Michigan took advantage of their first possession and brought it to the end zone within 4 minutes. Michigan quarterback, Shea Patterson, took it upon himself to put the Wolverines on the board with a fake handoff and a quick run to the end zone.
 
The real momentum came in the 2nd quarter, with a fumbled handoff from PSU’s quarterback, Trace McSorley. Chase Winovich was all over the ball, recovering the fumble, giving the Wolverines the chance to once again score a touchdown. 5 minutes later and Patterson connected with Donovan Peoples-Jones in the back right corner of the maize and blue end zone to get the ball rolling for Michigan. DPJ then chirped former PSU running back, Saquon Barkley, with a touchdown celebration mimicking Barkley’s celebration during the matchup last year in Happy Valley.
 
The crowd couldn’t be contained during the game, especially when the big screen told them to “make noise”. This was a crucial part to the game and motivated the Michigan defense to hold Penn State’s offense to just 68 rushing yards, compared to Michigan’s 259. McSorley seemed to get frazzled each time he had the ball, as the crowd would only get louder which each failed attempt at a first down. The Michigan fans were rewarded for their help in the win with “Mo Bamba” by Shek Wes playing throughout the Big House during the 4th quarter.
 
The Wolverines sealed Penn State’s fate after the refs declined the targeting call on PSU’s defense. As the replay showed DPJ took a shoulder to the head, all bets were off for the Michigan offense to show mercy toward their opponents. Patterson found Zach Gentry in the end zone shortly after the call, increasing the score to 21-0.
 
The night seemed to be complete as a familiar face returned to play. Tarik Black’s lucky #7 on field seemed too good to be true as his college career has been injury ridden. He came out strong making a connection with Patterson to bring the ball to the end zone. This moment was soon stripped away by a Michigan offensive holding penalty that revoked the touchdown but allowed Black to show that he’s “no rookie” according to his post-game Instagram.
 
The final touchdown of the game was made by Penn State, but the Nittany Lions were anything but happy leaving the Big House late Saturday night. With the Revenge Tour wrapping up, there is only one stop left for the Wolverines to dominate. “The Game” is approaching fast with Michigan facing Rutgers and Indiana on the way. With this big win over a rival like Penn State, Michigan will hopefully continue this momentum until they face Ohio State in Columbus November 24th.

By Andrew Miller

1) LA Rams
    God is there any way Todd Gurley can get an honorary MVP for the season, oh wait offensive MVP (get ready for a repeat of last year). Any player can score in this Sean McVay offense, even if they almost lost to the Packers at “home.” They are in for a tough schedule ahead, starting this week with the only team that can dissect defenses as well as Sean McVay, Sean Payton and the Saints. Dante Fowler is on an already dominant D Line, good luck NFC.

2) Kansas City Chiefs
    Their offense is special. Kareem Hunt has quietly been one of the 3 best RBs in the sport. I don’t think anyone has been more forgotten unfairly all season. Same old story, this team NEEDS a CB; it gets tiring saying that. To add insult to injury, Tyreek Hill will be questionable for the next week, taking away their most dynamic weapon. Luckily, they are playing the new and improved Browns.

3) New Orleans
    OH MY GOD I LOVE TAYSOM HILL. Any time Hill is on the field I turn my head and pray there will be a gadget play. Most fun team to watch in the league in my opinion. I moved this team up a spot because they contained an explosive Vikings offense, with a defense that is finally showing promise. I am seeing Marshon Lattimore return to his elite self. This team is different from ever before. This team isn’t a quick throw, creative screen team anymore, it is THE running team in the league. Crushing you with Kamara, Ingram, and especially Taysom Hill.

4) New England Patriots
    I think the Patriots miss their lead back, which is something I didn’t know was allowed to be said in the halls of Gillette Stadium. I watch the team with Cordarrelle Patterson and James Develin as RBs running the football and think they are missing their trusted in-between-the-tackles back. Also, where is Gronk? I think this team has gone away from the TE strong attack they used to run and switched to situational receivers who fill roles, and a RB who functions as a WR. I think this defense is playing better, but still has holes (hard to tell when you are playing Derek Anderson). This and the previous 3 teams are all locks for a BYE this postseason.

5) Carolina Panthers
    The Panthers didn’t just beat a really good Ravens team, they beat them at every facet of the game. They are an electric offense right now with the ability to score however they truly please. Cam Newton has quietly become a top 5 QB again and should be mentioned in the MVP race more that he is right now. The defense is also solid, finding a legitimate pass-rush. I think this may be the sleeper team that could beat anyone in the playoffs. I wouldn’t be surprised if they raise the Lombardi Trophy at season’s end.

6) Los Angeles (San Diego) Chargers
    The most exciting thing to come out of Chargers’ camp during a BYE week was the fact that they will stay in their current lease for 20 years. (Please go back to San Diego, or least go to Vegas instead of the Raiders so fanbases can have teams they actually care about). Melvin Gordon will at least be back next week.

7) Pittsburgh Steelers
    Remember how people were calling for Mike Tomlin’s job because they started out slow? Well look at them now. The offense is looking smooth (and by the time this article is released we will know the fate of Le'Veon Bell). James Conner looks like he could carry the load even without him there. I am excited about this team moving forward; however their, long-term prospects are not as appealing. Unlike the teams before, I am unsure of their ability to outscore the points they give up, especially against the teams ahead of them.

8) Houston Texans
    They are pass blocking better than ever this season… against the Dolphins though. This team has problems though, and that line will give them trouble moving forward, unless you like Martinas Rankin. The defense is playing like an elite unit however. Hopefully this wasn’t just a one time explosion by Deshaun. This will be the best team in the AFC South.

9) Cincinnati Bengals
    It feels like the same story every year, the Bengals teeter on great team but fall just short of that elite status, relying on AJ Green too much. Well I’m here to tell the people of Cincinnati, your team has elite talent outside AJ Green. Joe Mixon has established himself as a legitimate star, and Tyler Boyd is no slouch either. William Jackson has established himself as a top 13 starting CB, and Jessie Bates has asserted himself as one of the better safeties. The only thing stopping this team is for whatever reason, they seem to be sure that the only way to win is for Andy Dalton to throw the ball every play.

10) Philadelphia Eagles
    Pay no attention to the records in NFC East, this is still the team to beat. I know Washington has a better record, but the Eagles are officially out of their hangover and ready for Carson Wentz to light up the NFL again, and I for one can’t wait. The injury to Jalen Mills may make the Eagles realize that someone else is more suited to play the outside corner role. Even without Lane Johnson and Peters at times they were still able to pass block for Carson against a fierce Jacksonville Jaguars team. Look for the Eagles to fly into the playoffs.

11) Chicago Bears
    Try running on this team, it will be near impossible. Add a healthy Khalil Mack and I dare anyone to get 5 yards a carry. This team is still dangerous and can make real noise come the playoff race. Mitch Trubisky may not be special, but he may be the most dangerous runner at QB outside Deshaun Watson. The Hebrew and The Hammer still are my favorite RB duo in football. I would not be surprised if this team takes the division or beats out the Vikings. I doubt you noticed, but they are winning the division

12) Washington Football Team
    I don’t like this team. This is like the Dolphins earlier this season, they are only this high because of their record. Their defense is good. Adrian Peterson has found a second gear at age 33; congrats, great to see. I just do not trust an Alex Smith led offense throwing to Josh Doctson to really make noise and beat the Eagles. Getting Haha doesn’t change my mind, since he's basically another DJ Swearinger.

13) Green Bay Packers
    The Packers shoulda won that game, they shoulda. The upset of the year would have been great for the Packers’ ego, now all we talk about is whether Ty Montgomery should be cut. Still, I am convinced that as long as Aaron Rodgers exists (and the Vikings underperform) this will be the team representing the North. There are a plethora of weapons to choose from for Aaron Rodgers, and now there is a RUNNING BACK!!!! Aaron Jones just got freed and the world can rejoice because the Packers are now a two-dimensional offense. If their run defense keeps up their pace, this team could shock some people. Jaire Alexander is the REAL DEAL. I do think losing Haha is a real problem.

14) Minnesota Vikings
    I just am not impressed with the Vikings this year, and if you think Kirk Cousins INTs are the problem then you are not watching the games. This defense is giving up big play after big play. I thought the return of Everson Griffen would totally change their defense, and to be fair they played the Saints so it’s hard to tell. However this secondary is not elite like it was last year; I don’t know what happened to Xavier Rhodes. I like this offense a lot, but I just like the Bears defense more than the Vikings’ offense, and maybe the Bears offense more than the Vikings defense.

15) Baltimore Ravens
    This one hurt. I wanted to put them in the top 10 really badly. It’s just that they are at .500 and got exposed against a good Carolina team. Joe Flacco had his worst game of the year, and the team now needs a rebound. The defense is still excellent, the offense is still good. They can win their division. Luckily for them, if they ever needed a game to get excited about they play a pivotal game against the Steelers (bloodbath of the year).

16) Seattle Seahawks
    They smoked the Lions, it was hard to watch. I think everyone who has doubted if Russell Wilson is elite, just close your mouth now. This team has all the flaws in the world and can still win a lot of games because of this man. The defense stinks, the O-line stinks. I respect that they have realized this and decided to be a run-first, control the clock type football team, relying on Russell Wilson to make the plays to win the game for them.

17) Detroit Lions
    This team had a Snacks-sized growing period this week. The Lions clearly were working through some kinks on defense this weekend, and against Russell Wilson, that’s never a great thing. The offense really underperformed. They never really felt on track until very late when the game was sealed by an amazing interception by the Seahawks. I think this was more outlier than the norm and it is on to next week for the Lions.

18) Dallas Cowboys
    The Boys were on BYE and now need to do their best to get Amari Cooper incorporated into their offense. All the media will be talking bout Amari, not the really good defense that goes unnoticed, Dak Prescott’s improved mechanics, or Chidobe Awuzie becoming one of the best shutdown corners in football. To be fair that is all I’m interested in too. Still wasn’t worth the first.

19) Tennessee Titans
    I think I have been a little too hard on the Titans. This team isn’t bad, just not exciting. They can win games by ground and pounding. I just think they need a spark on offense, and it’s name should be Corey Davis. I have no clue why there are not more designed plays to get Corey Davis the ball, because he looks special. I hope they figure it out (probably won’t) but the titans can be a tough out for any team.

20) Atlanta Falcons
    The Falcons have players on offense with no scheme. They have a successful defensive scheme, but all their players are hurt. I get that they are 3-4, but they play in a division with the Panthers and Saints. I just think that they are the most easily burned team in the middle of the field throughout the NFL. I just don’t see them with even a shot for the playoffs.

21) Jacksonville Jaguars
    I have no faith in this team at all. Blake Bortles is the only QB in the NFL (short of Eli) that can make this team lose. It is all Blake Bortles. This team is stacked in all facets of the game, we know this. This defense could be all time great, if they didn’t have to be on the field ¾ of the game. Dede Westbrook looks like a number 1 wide receiver, and can’t officially break out because of Bortles. Same with DJ Chark (I know he dropped a TD catch). I am mad, so mad, that I cannot trust this team to win games. (If Tyrod is a Jaguar by the time this article goes out then I will feel better). (Sorry Andrew, no good news to report, this team is doomed).

22) Indianapolis Colts
    I love this team so much. Marlon Mack looks legit, and Nheim Hynes gives him a lovely combo. They are heading to a much needed BYE week to get their players happy. I think they could beat the Jaguars when they get back.

23) Denver Broncos
    All hail Phillip Lindsay. This guy is just an absolute animal out there. I see only a hand full of people at his time play with his intensity. I love the fact that he is finally the lead back. The Von-Chubb combo looks really special. They stayed within striking distance of the Chiefs last week, and I don’t think that was an accident. This team is a headache for any team to face

    
24)  Tampa Bay Bucs
    Fitzmagic is back!!! I am so happy to report this because I think the whole team likes Fitzpatrick way more than Winston in general. This offense could be dangerous, and now they have someone who knows when to play hero football. I just feel bad because this is the situation for 2 years. I worry because this draft class will give them no answer at QB, especially because even if Herbert does declare, he won’t be there for the Bucs.

25) Miami Dolphins
    I finally get to talk bad about this team. Shouldn’t be hard when the starting QB job is between Brock Osweiler and Ryan Tannehill. At the beginning of the season I picked this team to have the number 1 pick. Now they are gonna be in contention for top 5. I hope those early upsets were worth it.

26) New York Jets
    I like this team a lot. I have said it every week. Darnold looks good. Adams is my favorite defensive player in the league. This running attack needs a spark, cause I’m positive that Isaiah Crowell looks like just a guy. I can’t wait until next year. I have a feeling that Devin White will be on this team next year for the scariest LSU duo since Patrick Peterson and the Honey Badger.

27) Cleveland Browns
    Bye Hue Jackson, it was nice to hear you blame your players for why you were 3-36-1. I am just sad that Todd Haley is not gonna be the interim HC. He took a Matt Cassel-led Chiefs team to the playoffs. This team for the rest of the season is just trying to show off their talent and evaluate. Crazy to think that Greg Williams is auditioning for his second HC job, Buffalo fans must be proud.
    
28) Buffalo Bills
    I just feel really bad for the Bills. This team has nothing on offense*, including Shady. I just don’t see them winning a game, unless the defense scores, TWICE. It is a real problem. Don’t you worry Buffalo fans help is on the way, meet your new QB Terrelle Pryor.

29) Arizona Cardinals
    It’s not every day I shower praise on the Arizona Cardinals, but I think they are a step away from possibly having a nice foundation on which to build upon. I like Josh Rosen more and more each week; I just worry about him getting sacked and his career ending abruptly. David Johnson still has talent, but like Rosen there is no O-line to block for him. I really don’t have much more to say on a boring team.

30) San Francisco
    I just feel bad for Kyle Shanahan at this point. You are forced to use CJ Beathard and to rely on Greg Kittle and Marquise Goodwin in the pass game. He can only do so much. I think this team should just take an L on the season and see if they can make a run at Oliver or Bosa, if not, trade down and wait for Jimmy G.

31) Oakland Raiders
    Congrats Derek Carr you looked like you remembered to throw the football again. I’m not one of these people who think Derek Carr was completely overpaid, and should leave. I think the game against the Colts proved he knows how to play and make most throws on the field. I just wanna see development from any of the other young… O wait.

32) New York Giants
    Without a doubt the most pathetic team in football right now. They have no reason not to contend with the roster they posses, but they had to make sure Eli gets the ring. If anyone tells you that Eli Manning has been playing starting level caliber football for any of the last four years than they are either liars or Take Artists. You know what is funny? The Atlanta game is actually his best QBR in 2 years. That should show you how bad a stat that and completion percentage are, because it contradicts what everyone can see, ELI MANNING IS THE WORST QB IN THE NFL. The worst part is that Eli pads his stats at the end of the game by throwing dink and dunk passes to pad his completion percentage. Eli is a joke.
