The NFL regular season is a 3rd of the way through, and we still have no idea who is really good or not. But of all the rankings, here are the most accurate ones out there. Let’s dive in.
Hot Garbage but this time in London: Jets
Just when you thought the Jets couldn’t get any worse, Justin Fields got sacked 9 times and had only 9 completions and a net of -10 passing yards.
Lost to the Raiders: Titans
Enough said.
Beat the Titans: Raiders
I mean they won…but it’s not a huge accomplishment.
1-5 but they at least they aren’t the Titans or Jets: Browns, Dolphins, Saints
The Dolphins are a disaster and Tua is terrible and is calling out other players even though he threw 3 interceptions. The Browns are the Browns, nothing new there. The Saints play hard and seem well coached but are just out matched talent wise.
Bye, bye, bye: Ravens
This one has a double meaning. The Ravens are on a bye this week but they could really use 3 byes in a row to get everyone healthy. But also because they are bye, bye, bye because they are pretty much done.
Slightly less terrible: Bengals
Joe Flacco is better than Jake Browning. Not by a lot but enough to make them a little less awful.
Had a better week than last week: Cardinals
The Cardinals lost in a heartbreaker to the Colts. But they can’t feel any worse than they did last week.
Didn’t play last week and no one noticed: Vikings and Texans
Did you know these teams were on bye this past week? I bet you didn’t notice. Just like you won’t notice when they aren’t in the playoffs.
New York who? Dart and Skattebo: Giants
I know it isn’t sustainable and I’m sure they will get humbled this week against a very good Broncos D. But they sure are fun right now.
Sort of good sometimes: Cowboys, Falcons, Commanders, Panthers and Bears
All these teams have had flashes of good and bad. But every time I think one of these teams is good they lose the next week.
Good…I guess: Broncos and Chargers
I mean they are 4-2 and lead their division but the Chargers are running out of guys and barely beat the Dolphins. The Broncos offense is wildly inconsistent and probably would have lost to the Jets if the Jets could complete a pass.
Good…for now: Steelers and Jaguars
The Steelers seem to be playing well and so is Rodgers but at least the latter seems like it will be short lived. The Jaguars are scrappy but I think they will get exposed a little each week.
They’re going to be okay…I think…right?: Bills and Eagles
My two super bowl picks still have a ton of time to get right. But they sure haven’t looked right the last few weeks.
Really good against bad teams: Lions
The Lions looked bad in week 1 against the Packers. Then they won 4 straight against bad teams. This past weekend they looked bad against the Chiefs. They have the Bucs next.
Uh Oh: Chiefs and Patriots
Everyone hates a dynasty. Neither of these two teams have fully arrived yet but both are trending in the right direction and no one is going to like it.
NFC West minus the Cardinals: 49ers, Rams and Seahawks
The 49ers lost to the Bucs but they are so beat up and are still competitive. The Rams and Seahawks are competitive every week as well. This division is going to be interesting and at least 2 of them are going to make the playoffs and be a tough out.
Only 1 loss and seem good…but are they?: Packers and Colts
The Packers looked great the first two weeks but have looked so so the rest of the way. But they still have only 1 loss and potential. The Colts don’t have any great wins but they just keep winning. Jonathan Taylor has been amazing, Daniel Jones has been very good and the defense is solid. I don’t think they are as good as their record but they aren’t going anywhere.
Bake show: Bucs
The Bucs keep losing receivers and running backs and it just doesn’t matter because they have the Bake show! Baker has been awesome and the Bucs just keep winning. He’s the MVP through 6 weeks.
