10 weeks down and 8 to go. The Chiefs bye week couldn’t have gone much better with the Ravens, Bengals, and Bills all losing. There are a lot of questions about what’s wrong with the Chiefs but you know what isn’t wrong with them? Their record. Before week 11 kicks off tonight with a great game, lets see where they and the rest of the teams rank based upon Fifth-Down’s expert opinion.

What’s worse than Terrible?: Panthers, Giants, Patriots

Panthers still only have 1 win and lost to the Bears without Justin Fields. The Patriots just scored 6 points against the Colts and the Giants somehow get worse every single week. These teams are just awful right now.

Terrible: Bears, Cardinals, Rams, Titans

These teams all show some life occassionally but have 3 or less wins. At some point you have to create some sort of positive results. The Cardinals could be moving in the right direction. The Bears get Fields back this week so that makes them better, I guess. The Rams are here because of injuries and the Titans just announced they are rolling with a rookie QB the rest of the way and then that QB turned around and played terrible last week. These teams are on the struggle bus.

Almost terrible: Packers, Commanders

These teams barely lost last week so they are barely outside of the terrible category. They aren’t good at all…just slightly better than the rest of the teams.

These teams are .500? How the hell did that happen?: Raiders and Colts

Colts are surprising, Raiders are ridiculous. Colts have a young coach and some good players here and there and have been competitive in most games. The Raiders fired their coach and have scored more than 20 points exactly once. They are a disaster and somehow only 2 and half games outside of first place in their division.

Someone is going to mess around and win 9 games…I think: Saints, Bucs, Falcons

I am beginning to think 8 wins can win this division. Saints have 5 wins and the other two have 4 wins. We are over halfway through the season. Can’t wait to see which of these teams gets to lose a home playoff game.

4 and 5 with problems: Broncos, Chargers, Jets

Jets have no offense, Chargers have no defense, the Broncos have been living off turnovers. Congrats to them and maybe they can keep it rolling. But I doubt they can keep this up. They are getting better but still aren’t a playoff team.

How did these teams end up here: Bills and Bengals

These two teams have been on quite the roller coaster. It feels like they could beat anyone on any given day but also lose to anyone on any given day. The both have tough schedules the rest of the way. Are the two teams that challenge the Chiefs going to miss the playoffs?

How did these teams end up here: Texans, Vikings, Steelers, Elves

The Texans are playing great football. Who saw that coming? The Steelers seem to barely beat everyone. The Vikings lost Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson and are winning more. The Elves just beat the Ravens but also lost massage boy for the year but they are clearly overachieving.

Playoff teams and that is all: Jaguars, Seahawks and Dolphins

These are all fun teams with good players that will make the playoffs but likely lose in the first round.

Playoff teams that will make a run but fall short: Ravens, Lions, and Cowboys

These teams are good but will all fall short of the glory. That is who the Cowboys are now. The Ravens inevitably will have injury problems or Lamar’s shortcomings as a passer will come back to bite them. The Lions I think are really good, but still the Lions.

NFC Championship rematch: 49ers and Eagles

These are two really good teams. One of them is going to get another shot at a super bowl title.

Hosting the Arrowhead invitational: Chiefs

We are headed for the 6th straight AFC championship hosted by the Chiefs and they haven’t even figured out their offense yet. It’s going to be a fun rest of the year.
