1. Philadelphia Eagles (3-0 | LW: 1) – Another hard-fought win for the Birds as special teams came through at the end with a block to keep the defending champs perfect.
2. Buffalo Bills (3-0 | LW: 3) – While Buffalo didn’t blow out Miami, they controlled the game. Even when it was close, the Bills never looked in trouble. Josh Allen is the early-season MVP favorite to me. He’s Superman on the football field, literally unstoppable so far this season
3. Los Angeles Chargers (3-0 | LW: 4) – The Chargers keep trucking along. They finally get a little reprieve in their schedule against the Giants. This feels like an AFC Championship appearance or bust type of season for the Bolts
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-0 | LW: 7) – Another battle-tested win. A blocked field goal return nearly cost them, but Baker Mayfield led a clutch game-winning drive with under two minutes left. Tampa remains undefeated.
5. Indianapolis Colts (3-0 | LW: 8) – Some may call it fool’s gold, but the Colts have been impressive. Daniel Jones looks like a completely different player in Indy. Big test next week vs. the Rams.
6. Los Angeles Rams (2-1 | LW: 6) – Bitter loss in Philly. They dominated the first half but fell apart late, and Jordan Davis blocked a potential winning kick.
7. Green Bay Packers (2-1 | LW: 1) – Ran into Cleveland’s defense and special teams. The offense looked messy while the defense still held strong—bad loss, but not panic time. Big SNF matchup with Dallas coming.
8. Detroit Lions (2-1 | LW: 9) – After a bad Week 1, the Lions bounced back strong. They sacked Lamar Jackson seven times and look to have the league’s best backfield duo. Big test vs. Cleveland’s elite run defense.
9. Seattle Seahawks (2-1 | LW: 16) – Defense looked great, and Sam Darnold keeps proving doubters wrong.,10. Washington Commanders (2-1 | LW: 11) – Put up 40+ on the Raiders, but the status of Jayden Daniels and Terry McLaurin clouds their current outlook.
11. Baltimore Ravens (1-2 | LW: 5) – Defense was shredded by Detroit’s run game, and the O-line gave up seven sacks. Not panic time, but far from looking like a Super Bowl favorite as a lot of people thought before the season started.
12. San Francisco 49ers (3-0 | LW: 13) – Keep finding ways to win, but the injuries seem to keep coming. Losing Nick Bosa for the season is catastrophic to San Fran’s Defense
13. Kansas City Chiefs (1-2 | LW: 15) – Finally got a win and looked sharp doing it, even if it was against the Giants. Once Xavier Worthy and Rashee Rice return, they should get rolling.
14. Denver Broncos (1-2 | LW: 10) – Two unlucky weeks in a row, with a penalty loss vs. Indy and a near-miss deep ball vs. the Chargers. Still a talented team with upside.
15. Minnesota Vikings (2-1 | LW: 21) – Defense looked like the Purple People Eaters of old. CB Saiah Rodgers had a game to remember. Wentz looked like his former self. Curious to see the offense once McCarthy returns. Big matchup in Ireland vs. the Steelers.
16. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1 | LW: 17) – Defense forced five turnovers vs. New England, constantly knocking the ball loose. Travel to Ireland this week to face Minnesota.
17. Arizona Cardinals (2-1 | LW: 12) – Starting to slide. Underwhelming in wins, and now they have lost James Conner for the year. Outlook looks bleak.
18. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1 | LW: 24) – Beat Houston in underwhelming fashion. Strong defense, weak overall team.
19. Chicago Bears (1-2 | LW: 26) – Offense is vastly improved, and the defense stepped up vs. Dallas.
20. New England Patriots (1-2 | LW: 18) – Total mess vs. Pittsburgh. Flashes of upside, but turnovers killed them.
21. Cleveland Browns (1-2 | LW: 27) – Best run defense in football: three straight weeks of shutting down elite RBs. But the offense is nonexistent. Big matchup vs. Detroit’s run game this week.
22. Carolina Panthers (1-2 | LW: 30) – Nearly rallied vs. Arizona, then destroyed Atlanta 30-0. Deserve this bump up.
23. Houston Texans (0-3 | LW: 22) – Still winless after costly turnovers and sloppy play. Headed in the wrong direction.
24. Dallas Cowboys (1-2 | LW: 19) – losing CeeDee Lamb really hurts, and the defense got torched by Caleb Williams and the Bears. It gets worse with Green Bay coming to town.
25. Las Vegas Raiders (1-2 | LW: 23) – Week 1 feels like forever ago when the Raiders beat the Patriots. Geno Smith looks bad, and the team feels directionless.
26. New York Giants (0-3 | LW: 25) – From an explosive offense in Week 2 to a lifeless offense in Week 3. Fans are calling for a QB change.
27. New York Jets (0-3 | LW: 29) – Showed life against Tampa but still found a way to lose.
28. Cincinnati Bengals (2-1 | LW: 14) – without Joe Burrow this team feels hopeless.
29. Atlanta Falcons (1-2 | LW: 20) – Shut out by Carolina, losing 30-0.
30. Tennessee Titans (0-3 | LW: 28) – …. Maybe they’ll wake up next season
31. Miami Dolphins (0-3 | LW: 32) – Didn’t get blown out, so they move up one. But they need sweeping changes from QB to HC.
32. New Orleans Saints (0-3 | LW: 31) – they got absolutely smoked by Seattle.
