It appears that we’ve reached an equilibrium in the top portion of the rankings (or at least as close to a equilibrium as you can get). And there’s some action in the middle of the pack, but what’s really caught my eye is the fluctuations going on at the back end of this thing. So that’s what we’re gonna talk about today:
Loserville
21. Patriots – This is the Pats’ highest ranking thus far this year. Drake Maye is looking like he could be a franchise guy in the future. Next up: Hosting the Rams
22. Titans – This is less about a genuine improvement by Tennessee and more about how truly pathetic some of these other teams are. Next up: Minnesota comes to town.
23. Panthers – Definitely the highest ranking I’ve had for Carolina this year. Two game win streak. Looking like an NFL team. Wild. Next up: Bye week..and then the Chiefs.
24. Saints – Could be trending back in the right direction with the interim coach bump. Could revert back to cheeks at any given time. Up next: Jameis revenge game?
25. Colts – Apparently they’re going back to Anthony Richardson…can’t exactly say Joe Flacco was getting it done, but I think it’s a lateral move to give AR the keys again. Up next: a visit to the dysfunctional Jets.
26. Jets – Ah, speaking of Jets. Might as well just call it a season. There was some hope after the win over Houston but this team is for all intents and purposes, done. Up next: Colts come to town
27. Bears – Yet another dysfunctional franchise. This team has stopped trying. Up next: Big Bro Green Bay pays the Bears a visit
28. Cowboys – Well, they weren’t very good with Dak. With Cooper Rush, they’re downright JV. Tough watch. Really. Up next: Battle for Texas with Houston at home
29. Jaguars – bad. Up next: Road trip to Detroit
30. Browns – Pretty sure this team can surpass a few of the ones above them if they got it together somewhat during the bye week. Up next: Jameis revenge game?
31. Raiders – Funny how these guys don’t play for a week and you almost forget they exist. Sorry, I shouldn’t add insult to injury like this. Up next: spring break in Miami
32. Giants – Just hoping we get to see Drew Lock. Up next: The always daunting Bye week. They’ll host Tampa in Week 12
Can’t wait to see who claims the coveted 32 spot next week. Will another team look awful enough to replace the Giants? Will the Giants lose to the bye week? All that and more to come this weekend.
Tomorrow, Week 11 Picks.
