A short work week, but an action packed (more or less) 3 days of NFL excitement (more or less).

1. Detroit Lions – Beating the Colts is like – Well Red doesn’t know what it is like, but it isn’t anything to get too excited about.
2. Buffalo Bills – Getting turnovers and scoring a lot more points than your opponents is Red’s Week 13 Recipe for Success.
3. Kansas City Chiefs – Word of advice from Red, don’t use up all of your lucky breaks in the regular season.
4. Philadelphia Eagles – Could easily be in the 3rd spot and currently have the inside track to the NFC Championship.
5. Minnesota Vikings – 50 count ’em 50 combined takeaways and sacks. But why haven’t they blocked any kicks?
6. Green Bay Packers – Are in the 6th spot only because the Stealers lost to the Browns. The Browns!
7. Pittsburgh Stealers. Lost to the Browns. The Browns!
8. Baltimore Ravens – Got a much needed win against the triple reverse time zone hex against the Chargers. But guys, 8-4 and counting is maybe going to get you the No. 5 seed.
9. Los Angeles Chargers – Still in the mix in the AFC West.
10. Denver Broncos – Also in the mix in the AFC West.
11. Washington Commanders – Looked pitiful against a pitiful Cowboys squad. Special teams sucked.
12. Houston Texans – Losing to the Titans at home and now swirling the drain in a weak division. 2-3 wins should secure another useless AFC -South Banner at NRG.
13. Seattle Seahawks – The best of the mediocre 6-win teams still having a shot at the playoffs.
14. Arizona Cardinals – Lost to the Seahawks officially making them the second best of the mediocre 6–win teams still having a shot at the playoffs.
15. Atlanta Falcons – Remaining a mediocre 6-win team still having a shot at the playoffs by virtue of a bye week.
16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Proving that you can’t quite make it through half of the teams before you have to pick a team with a losing record. Parity!
17. Miami Dolphins – Finally have most of the pieces in place and got a nice warm up game against the hapless Patriots. Red really enjoys writing “hapless Patriots.”
18. San Francisco 49ers – Ugly, ugly, ugly loss to the Packers. Ugly, ugly, ugly prospects right now.
19. Los Angeles Rams – Right about where they should be.
20. Indianapolis Colts – 1-4 over the last five. Red can hear the faint cries for “Flacco Joe, Flacco Joe.”
21. Cincinnati Bengals – Somewhere Joe Burrow is singing “If I only had a defense.” Not sure the Wizard can help you Joe.
22. New Orleans Saints – The top sub-mediocre team.
23. Chicago Bears – The exemplar of sub-mediocre teams.
24. Dallas Cowboys – Is a two game win streak possible? Stay tuned, we will find out tomorrow.
25. Tennessee Titans – Win over Texans will be the highlight of the season most likely.
26. Carolina Panthers – Actually showing signs of life in excellent showing against the favorite of the Gods – i.e. the Chiefs.
27. Cleveland Browns – Long suffering Browns fans continue to suffer.
28. Las Vegas Raiders – Coming up snake eyes.
29. New York Jets – Sad.
30. New England Patriots – Sadder
31. New York Giants – Saddest
32. Jacksonville Jaguars – Beyond sadness at this point.
