This is not up for debate.
The Good
4. Rams (1-1)
5. Eagles (2-0) (up 3)
6. Chargers (1-1) (down 1)
7. Ravens (1-1) (down 1)
8. Dolphins (2-0) (up 4)
9. Vikings (1-1) (down 2)
10. Packers (1-1) (up 3)
11. Bengals (0-2) (down 2)
12. Niners (1-1) (up 2)
Eagles and Vikings are my two darling NFC teams but the Vikes did not show up. Eagles could very well just be ballers. Am I docking the Ravens much for that 4th quarter collapse? Absolutely not. Really it just told me the Dolphins have some heart. vs. BUF should be a great game. Packers and Niners gave me enough to rekindle the flame there. As much as I think Jimmy G is just not good, I also think he is San Fran's better shot at contending this year. Bengals will figure it out but you cannot trust that o-line against a semi reasonable pass rush.
The Bad
13. Saints (1-1) (down 2)
14. Browns (1-1) (up 1)
15. Broncos (1-1) (up 2)
16. Colts (0-1-1) (down 6)
17. Cardinals (1-1) (up 3)
18. Raiders (0-2) (down 2)
19. Titans (0-2)
20. Commanders (1-1) (up 1)
21. Pats (1-1) (up 2)
22. Steelers (1-1) (down 4)
Surely the observant participants in this thread will notice some odd movement here. The Browns and Commanders move up on losses?? Yes. It is true. Mainly due to Colts (I still have hope?) and Steelers (offense is so bad, and with no Watt I don't see many wins) dipping. I truly do believe the Browns are a tough and talented team... watch out when Watson gets back (that means you, masseuses). Cards with a bit of life... just let Kyler cook? Raiders are about as stinky as I thought they were last year -- going to win some close games over good teams and make you think they are okay, but they're not. Carr never does well as a big favourite either. Pats stink, just not as bad as the next tier.
The Ugly
23. Bears (1-1) (down 1)
24. Cowboys (1-1)
25. Giants (2-0) (up 1)
26. Jaguars (1-1) (up 5)
27. Lions (1-1) (up 2)
28. Panthers (0-2) (down 3)
29. Seahawks (1-1) (down 2)
30. Jets (1-1) (up 2)
31. Falcons (0-2) (down 3)
32. Texans (0-1-1) (down 2)
Are the Jags actually a bit of a wagon? Was that just too easy of a Colts team sans Pittman and Leonard? Maybe... but I'll bet them. +7 at LAC seems like too much... it may be a tarp. I'm surely being fooled by the Jets fiesty-ness but they have put in a lot of talent... maybe it will show. Already seeing lots of talk that the Giants could be one of the worst 2-0 teams ever... I can see it. Rest of these teams do not bear much mention.
