    \n
  1. Green Bay Packers (10-3)
    \nLast Week: 2<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Packers gave up some big plays to the woeful Bears, but they woke up in time to put Chicago away.\u00a0 Green Bay is now in position to gain home field in the NFC.\u00a0 AJ Dillon is emerging to give the Packers a power running game to accompany the elusive Aaron Jones out the backfield.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (10-3)
      \nLast Week: 3<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Tampa is rounding into championship form just at the right time.\u00a0 They are tied atop the NFC standings and their remaining schedule is the softest of any of the remaining contenders.\u00a0 The NFC playoffs may go through Tampa.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Arizona Cardinals (10-3)
        \nLast Week: 1<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Monday night\u2019s loss was huge for the Cardinals who find themselves in a dogfight for the division and for home field.\u00a0 The Card\u2019s remaining road is tougher than either the Packers or Tampa.\u00a0 Arizona needs to figure out why they are undefeated on the road but just .500 at home.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. New England Patriots (9-4)
          \nLast Week: 4<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          The Patriots now have a two-game lead in the division with the chance to end the divisional race and deal a mortal wound to Buffalo\u2019s playoff chances this week.\u00a0 The Patriots have allowed a league low 200 points this season, which is an average of just 15 per game.\u00a0 It\u2019s a testament to the great defensive mind of Bill Belichick and the perpetual pathetic mess the rest of the AFC East continues to be.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Kansas City Chiefs (9-4)
            \nLast Week: 5<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            The Chiefs rolled to their six straight win and held another opponent under 10 points in the process.\u00a0 This Sunday\u2019s contest at the Chargers is huge.\u00a0 If the defense can post another stellar effort, the Chiefs will build a two-game advantage in the division and likely reign as division champs yet again.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Los Angeles Rams (9-4)
              \nLast Week: 6<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              The Rams finally posted a victory against a notable opponent.\u00a0 It was a huge win that kept Los Angeles in the division race, rather than fighting for a wild-card berth.\u00a0 The Rams need a healthy Darrell Henderson for the stretch drive.\u00a0 Sonny Michel and the other backups simply don\u2019t provide what Henderson does from the backfield.\u00a0 The Rams will need balance on the ground to go with Cooper Kupp and the passing game to win deep into January.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. Dallas Cowboys (9-4)
                \nLast Week: 7<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                The Cowboys found a way to make Sunday\u2019s game in Washington interesting in the late going.\u00a0 There is still reason for concern in Dallas despite the victory.\u00a0 The division crown is all but locked up, but Dak Prescott hasn\u2019t been right for some time.\u00a0 This week he had a fully healthy stable of receivers and still wasn\u2019t sharp.\u00a0 He will need to return to his early-season form for this team to compete in the playoffs.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                1. Los Angeles Chargers (8-5)
                  \nLast Week: 8<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  The Chargers finally put together consecutive wins for the first time since the first month of the season.\u00a0 They get the Chiefs at home this week with an opportunity to tie for the division lead.\u00a0 There are no excuses.\u00a0 This will determine if Los Angeles will be a factor in the AFC or another also-ran.<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  1. Indianapolis Colts (7-6)
                    \nLast Week: 10<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Indy sits on top of a log jam of AFC teams at 7-6 for the season.\u00a0 They have had a bye week to prepare for the surging Patriots.\u00a0 A loss could send them home for the playoffs, while a win against rolling New England could serve as a launching pad to big things for the Colts.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    1. San Francisco 49ers (7-6)
                      \nLast Week: Unranked<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      The Niners are playing better as they get their injured pieces back on the field.\u00a0 This week\u2019s win in Cincinnati was immense for San Francisco who were able to save their season and continue marching toward a post-season berth.\u00a0 If they continue to get healthy and stay healthy, they could cause a lot of trouble for the NFC\u2019s elite teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
