RankingTeam AbbrTeam NameLocationCurrent Outlook
1KCChiefsKansas CityThey picked the right time to play their best game of the year.
2BUFBillsBuffaloAre they ready to beat the Chiefs when it counts most?
3MINVikingsMinnesotaThis is the best and most balanced team the Vikings have had since the days of Fran Tarkenton, Chuck Foreman, and the Purple People Eaters. And this might be the year they finally do what the Vikings of the ‘70s couldn’t.
4DETLionsDetroitIf they’re going to be the top seed in the NFC, they’re going to have to earn it.
5PHIEaglesPhiladelphiaThe smart play will be to not play Saquon Barkley, even though he’s only 101 yards short of history.
6BALRavensBaltimoreLamar Jackson gets to make his closing argument for MVP on Saturday.
7WASCommandersWashingtonNever mind the presidency; Jayden Daniels is already the king of D.C.
8GBPackersGreen BayThe final score against the Vikings failed to reflect how badly they were outplayed.
9LACChargersLos AngelesCan the Jolly Good Fellow finally fell his big brother in the wild-card round?
10LARamsLos AngelesUgly wins continues to count as wins.
11PITSteelersPittsburghIt could be another offseason of change, if they don’t win at least one playoff game.
12DENBroncosDenverIf they can’t beat the Kansas City “B” team, they don’t deserve to be in the playoffs.
13TBBuccaneersTampa BayWhen they play to their potential, they are a problem.
14HOUTexansHoustonThe only difference between last year and this year is a tougher schedule and a more porous offensive line.
15ATLFalconsAtlantaThey’ll regret not taking that timeout for the rest of their time on earth.
16CINBengalsCincinnatiThey have a much better chance of winning in Pittsburgh on Saturday than the Broncos and Dolphins have of losing on Sunday.
17SEASeahawksSeattleThey’ve missed the playoffs for two straight years for the first time since the days before the Legion of Boom.
18MIADolphinsMiamiWinning in Cleveland against a tanking Browns team changes a grand total of zero narratives.
19DALCowboysDallasIf Mike McCarthy’s job truly hinges on beating the Commanders, maybe he shouldn’t want it.
20INDColtsIndianapolisIt feels like a housecleaning is coming.
21ARICardinalsArizonaJonathan Gannon likely will get a third year. He’ll have to work for a fourth.
22SF49ersSan FranciscoNext year’s team will likely look a lot different than this year’s team.
23NOSaintsNew OrleansIf next year’s starting quarterback is currently on the roster, next year won’t be much different than this year.
24CHIBearsChicagoGive Ben Johnson a blank check.
25LVRaidersLas VegasIf Tom Brady has a vote, Mike Vrabel will be the coach next year.
26JAXJaguarsJacksonvilleBrian Thomas Jr. could help them attract a head coach who has choices.
27CARPanthersCarolinaThe fact that “pesky and losing” is viewed as progress shows how far this franchise had fallen.
28NYJJetsNew YorkNice knowing you, Aaron Rodgers.
29CLEBrownsClevelandIf Deshaun Watson is the starter next year, the fans should move to Baltimore.
30NEPatriotsNew EnglandIs it lack of talent, lack of ability, or both?
31TENTitansTennesseeThey’ll play both Mason Rudolph and Will Levis next week. The winner gets a Water-Pik.
32NYGGiantsNew YorkIt’s fitting that they’ll finish one of the worst seasons in franchise history by screwing up their shot at the first overall pick in the draft.
