And now there is one undefeated team and one winless team. Repeat after me – PARITY SUCKS!
- Philadelphia Eagles – The only thing not to like is the defense giving up almost 18 ppg.
- Buffalo BIlls – Could be in the first spot except for the stumble against the Dolphins. Impressive comeback against a very good Ravens team.
- Kansas City Chiefs – When Mahomes is on the Chiefs look unbeatable. Ask Tom Brady about that.
- Green Bay Packers – Red will be surprised if the Packers stay in the top 5 much longer, but they deserve the spot right now.
- New York Giants – See Green Bay Packers.
- Miami Dolphins – Need to get their act together. They can win with Teddy Bridgewater if proper adjustments are made.
- Minnesota Vikings – 3-1 with a plus 6 point differential! That can’t last.
- Dallas Cowboys – The NFC East is the NFL Division of Excellence at the slightly less than quarter pole. Still can’t used to 17 games or the fact that this division doesn’t stink.
- Cincinnati Bengals – Everyone in the AFC is gunning for them right now. Chiefs and Bills still wondering how they did not end up in Superb Owl last season.
- Tennessee Titans – Have righted the ship for now, but the defense can’t continue to give up 25 ppg.
- Cleveland Browns – The definition of inconsistency. Will stay in the mix as long as Chubb is healthy.
- Baltimore Ravens – Have to shake off tough loss to Bills.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Don’t be fooled by garbage time points against the Chiefs, this offense is in trouble.
- San Francisco 49ers – Another win like this week’s dismantling of the Rams and the Niners will really rocket right up Red’s rankings – who as readers know loves alliteration.
- Los Angeles Rams – Matthew Stafford starting to look tired and old.
- Atlanta Falcons – Two wins in a row puts them right in the mix in a weak NFC South.
- Los Angeles Chargers – Red wants to believe but his faith is being tested.
- Jacksonville Jaguars – Still London’s favorite team.
- Chicago Bears – Oh why the hell not?
- Seattle Seahawks – Third place in the division of parity gets you this ranking. In case you’re not paying attention every team in NFC West is 2-2.
- Arizona Cardinals – Same thing for fourth place in the division of parity.
- Denver Broncos – This would be the saddest offense in the league but for the Bears and Colts.
- Detroit Lions – The Lions are averaging a league best 35 ppg and are 1-3. If they ever manage to get the other team to punt they just might win some games.
- New York Jets – Unfortunately playing in the same division as the Bills and Dolphins so Red doesn’t want to get Jets’ fans hopes up just yet.
- New Orleans Saints – This week the Saints top the “Who Gives a Shit” part of the rankings.
- Carolina Panthers – If you don’t have anything good to say . . .
- Pittsburgh Stealers – Losing to the Jets. You’re lucky to get this ranking.
- Las Vegas Raiders – Should not be this bad.
- Washington Commanders – Still looking for a quarterback.
- Indianapolis Colts – Red has seen offenses suck before, but this is the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. With apologies to H. Simpson.
- New England Patriots – My how the mighty have fallen.
- Houston Texans – Finding new and imaginative ways to lose.
