1. Philadelphia Eagles – Two top AFC opponents in r row, two come-from-behind wins. The Eagles are winning no matter the opponent. The schedule doesn’t get easier either.
2. Kansas City Chiefs – A come-from-behind win on the road in the second half is something the Chiefs have struggled with but not on Sunday. It was the Raiders but they have been playing better under Antonio Pierce.
3. Miami Dolphins – It may have been the Jets but a divisional road win against a great defense by three touchdowns isn’t anything to sneeze at.
4. Dallas Cowboys – Huge win for the Cowboys on Thanksgiving but they’ll be tested over the next five weeks with every game against playoff contenders.
5. Baltimore Ravens – A win on Sunday night against a talented team that can’t seem to get out of their way. The game was closer than the score and could spell disappointment for people high on them. Their final four games will test them and possibly expose them.
6. San Francisco 49ers – Since their bye, this team looks like the team that started the season. A big road game this week should let us know who they are.
7. Jacksonville Jaguars – The Jags held the top seed for a few hours Sunday in the AFC after a revenge win in Houston. The top seed doesn’t seem like something they’d want as all three losses are at home.
8. Detroit Lions – The moon did something on Thanksgiving that caused them to lose. The game was against a resurgent Packer team. They may not be the contender we thought they were or it could just be a tide thing.
9. Houston Texans – Yes they lose but they are so much farther ahead of where they should be. CJ Stroud could be set to challenge TLaw and the Jags for years to come.
10. Denver Broncos – 70 points seems so long ago. Denver has the longest active winning streak at five games (tied with Philly). The defense has come around and Russ doesn’t look like Russ of old but definitely doesn’t look like Russ of last year.
