Record: 3-1

Last week: 6 (+0)

This team really reminds me of the 2010 version. In 2010, they won 11 games and got a first round bye, but you never really felt like you could trust them to go all the way and win the Super Bowl. This year is similar. They stand at 3-1 with that one loss coming against the Packers on a Thursday Night game that they weren’t prepared for. However, they have an even yards per play differential of +0.0 and you know their offensive line or quarterback could combust at any time. They’ll win a bunch of games, but there are 5 teams in the NFL that I think have a better chance to win the Super Bowl than them, at least.
