Seahawks (last week No. 1; 1-0): They can win with Drew Lock. It\u2019s unknown how long they\u2019ll have to try to do that.<\/p>\n<p>2. Bills (No. 5; 1-0): If winning a regular-season game got Joe Brady to take off his shirt, he\u2019ll be butt naked if they win in the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>3. Bears (No. 6; 1-0): The 59 offense is possibly better than the 46 defense.<\/p>\n<p>4. Texans (No. 3; 0-1): Scoring 31 points should be more than enough for that defense.<\/p>\n<p>5. Jaguars (No. 9; 1-0): They won 34-10, and it felt way more lopsided than that.<\/p>\n<p>6. Ravens (No. 10; 1-0): Derrick Henry may never lose a step.<\/p>\n<p>7. Bengals (No. 11; 1-0): In past years, they would have fully blown a 27-10 lead.<\/p>\n<p>8. Chiefs (No. 13; 1-0): Kenneth Walker III earned every penny of his contract in his debut, and then some.<\/p>\n<p>9. Eagles (No. 8; 1-0): A Week 1 escape vs. the Commanders answered no questions about whether they\u2019ll be true contenders.<\/p>\n<p>10. 49ers (No. 15; 1-0): They turned the page decisively on all of those bizarre offseason storylines.<\/p>\n<p>11. Rams (No. 2; 0-1): They\u2019re already all alone in last place of the NFC West.<\/p>\n<p>12. Broncos (No. 4; 0-1): Maybe they should have tried to get Drew Brees to come back for last night\u2019s game, too.<\/p>\n<p>13. Patriots (No. 7; 0-1): Fortunately, blowing it twice in the same game counts as only one loss.<\/p>\n<p>14. Lions (No. 14; 1-0): The Lions had better hope the Saints are destined to be really good this year.<\/p>\n<p>15. Vikings (No. 19; 1-0): For the second straight year, the Vikings woke up just in time to get a key division win in Week 1.<\/p>\n<p>16. Giants (No. 20; 1-0): Jaxson Dart is the real deal, as long as he can stay healthy.<\/p>\n<p>17. Steelers (No. 18; 1-0): For the second time in three years, T.J. Watt personally delivered a win over the Falcons in Week 1.<\/p>\n<p>18. Cardinals (No. 32; 1-0): Jacoby Brissett is better than you realize.<\/p>\n<p>19. Chargers (No. 12; 0-1): Who\u2019s got it better than us? Don\u2019t ask.<\/p>\n<p>20. Packers (No. 16; 0-1): Matt LaFleur should be very happy he got that extension. <\/p>\n<p>21. Saints (No. 24; 0-1): They may already be the best team in the division.<\/p>\n<p>22. Cowboys (No. 17; 0-1): Like every year, the offseason\u2019s delusion gets a hard dose of reality. <\/p>\n<p>23. Panthers (No. 21; 0-1): The Panthers have only themselves to blame for giving the Bears the pick that became Caleb Williams.<\/p>\n<p>24. Buccaneers (No. 22; 0-1): The Browns are the perfect antidote to a Week 1 clunker.<\/p>\n<p>25. Colts (No. 23; 0-1): They get plenty of hype every year, and they ultimately don\u2019t deliver. <\/p>\n<p>26. Jets (No. 29; 1-0): Welcome back, Geno.<\/p>\n<p>27. Raiders (No. 30; 1-0): They started 1-0 last year, too.<\/p>\n<p>28. Commanders (No. 27; 0-1): At least they didn\u2019t get blown out.<\/p>\n<p>29. Falcons (No. 25; 0-1): Maybe they should have just kept Kirk Cousins.<\/p>\n<p>30. Titans (No. 26; 0-1): It could be another long year in Nashville. <\/p>\n<p>31. Dolphins (No. 28; 0-1): They aren\u2019t tanking; they\u2019re just not good. <\/p>\n<p>32. Browns (No. 31; 0-1): Prediction \u2014 Dillon Gabriel will be the starter by Week 10. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1.
