    \n
  1. Los Angeles Rams (7-1)
    \nLast Week: 3<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It was a very business-like performance for the Rams.\u00a0 Houston doesn\u2019t nearly have the horses to challenge the Rams.\u00a0 The win wasn\u2019t the big news for the new top-ranked team.\u00a0 The big news is that the Rams landed Von Miller from Denver.\u00a0 If he can stay healthy, the pass rush just took a major step up for Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Green Bay Packers (7-1)
      \nLast Week: 4<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The Packers were able to run the ball when everyone knew they were going to.\u00a0 It was an impressive effort for Green Bay.\u00a0 Without their top wideouts, the Pack pushed Arizona around the field and their defense forced critical turnovers to win on the road against a top NFC opponent.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Arizona Cardinals (7-1)
        \nLast Week: 1<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        The turnovers will be what most point to as to why the Cards dropped their first game of the year.\u00a0 The more telling theme and the more concerning thing coming out of the game was that the defense couldn\u2019t stop the run despite knowing how limited the Packers passing game would be.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2)
          \nLast Week: 2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          Tampa averaged 5.1 yards per rush, but they only chose to run it 14 times.\u00a0 Brady threw it 40 times.\u00a0 That\u2019s not exactly a balanced approach for Tampa.\u00a0 The Bucs also committed 11 penalties for 99 yards.\u00a0 In contrast, New Orleans was only penalized twice for ten yards.\u00a0 Even if the Bucs shoot themselves in the foot again over the next three weeks, the soft competition (NYG \/ Washington \/ Atlanta) probably isn\u2019t good enough to take advantage. \u00a0The Bucs will likely stand at 11-2 heading into a game with the Bills followed by a rematch with New Orleans.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Dallas Cowboys (6-1)
            \nLast Week: 5<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The Cowboys notched their sixth straight win.\u00a0 This time Dallas won on the road without their starting quarterback.\u00a0 \u00a0Third down efficiency told the story of the game.\u00a0 The Cowboys converted 7 of 14 third downs, while Minnesota only converted 1 of 13.\u00a0 There\u2019s a defense again in Dallas.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Buffalo Bills (5-2)
              \nLast Week: 6<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              The Bills allowed the Dolphins just 68 rushing yards on Sunday.\u00a0 They improved on their league\u2019s leading defensive stats giving up just 11 points to Miami.\u00a0 There\u2019s still a bit to be learned about the Bills as the few winning teams they have played have put points on the board.\u00a0 After the next two weeks, the Bills play a tougher lineup, so it will be a little while before we get a better idea just how good they are.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Tennessee Titans (6-2)
                \nLast Week: 8<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                The Titans won a huge division game in Indianapolis stretching their division lead to three games.\u00a0 The bigger news is the loss of all-world running back, Derrick Henry. \u00a0There are many who believe the loss of Henry dooms the Titan\u2019s chances for the season.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Baltimore Ravens (5-2)
                  \nLast Week: 9<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  The Ravens got a huge assist from the Jets to move back up into the lead in the AFC North.\u00a0 The week off should give the Ravens time to figure out just how the Bengals hammered them.\u00a0 The focus must be on the defensive side as the Ravens are a lackluster 25th<\/sup> in total defense.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Las Vegas Raiders (5-2)
                    \nLast Week: 10<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    The Raiders are in the right place as Kansas City seems a shadow of its former self, and the Chargers are proving much too inconsistent to contend.\u00a0 The Raiders biggest challenge may be blocking out off-field distractions like the Jon Gruden mess and today\u2019s news that Henry Ruggs has been charged with a DUI crash that resulted in a fatality.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. New Orleans Saints (5-2)
                      \nLast Week: Not Ranked<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      The Saints played a spirited game Sunday beating the Bucs to put themselves back into the division race.\u00a0 Losing Jameis Winston certainly dampened the celebration.\u00a0 There are few good options for New Orleans.\u00a0 The defense will need to play lights out football just to get the Saints into the wildcard race.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
