Tier 1: Super Bowl or Bust
1. Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) Last Week: #1
Next Week Matchup: @ Chiefs on MNF

3. Dallas Cowboys (6-3) Last Week: #3
Next Week Matchup: @ Panthers
4. Miami Dolphins (6-3) Last Week: #4
Next Week Matchup: vs Raiders
5. San Francisco 49ers (6-3) Last Week: #6
Next Week Matchup: vs Buccaneers
For the first tier of teams this season is all about a Super Bowl. The Eagles have been the #1 team in the league for the fourth week in a row and the 49ers are back in the Top-5 after breaking their 3-game losing streak this week and the Cowboys had the most dominant win of anyone in this group. The Eagles play the Chiefs on MNF in the biggest game of Week 11
Tier 2: Super Bowl Dark Horses
6. Baltimore Ravens (7-3) Last Week: #5
Next Week Matchup: vs Bengals on TNF
7. Detroit Lions (7-2) Last Week: #8
Next Week Matchup: vs Bears
8. Cincinnati Bengals (5-4) Last Week: #7

Next Week Matchup: vs Titans
10. Seattle Seahawks (6-3) Last Week: #11
Next Week Matchup: @ Rams
11. Cleveland Browns (6-3) Last Week: #12
Next Week Matchup: vs Steelers
The Super Bowl Dark Horses Tier is compiled of team barely above .500 all the way to the 7-2 Lions. The Ravens top the list after falling one spot out of Tier 1 and are still an absolute threat to anyone in the AFC. The Jaguars ended the longest active win streak this season at 5 with a blowout loss to the 49ers and the Seahawks and Browns both feel like they can play much better than they have so far. Ravens vs Bengals is at the top of this weeks' games and actually gives us a TNF game to look forward to.
Tier 3: Eyes on the Playoffs
12. Minnesota Vikings (6-4) Last Week: #18
Next Week Matchup: @ Broncos on SNF
13. Buffalo Bills (5-5) Last Week: #10
Next Week Matchup: vs Jets
14. Houston Texans (5-4) Last Week: #16
Next Week Matchup: vs Cardinals
15. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) Last Week: #13
Next Week Matchup: @ Browns
16. Los Angeles Chargers (4-5) Last Week: #15
Next Week Matchup: @ Packers
17. New Orleans Saints (5-5) Last Week: #14
Next Week Matchup: BYE Week
Tier 3 is for the teams that are knocking on the glass ceiling of being a Wild Card. The Vikings now hold a 5-game winning streak and have major momentum going into Denver who is one week away from being in this Tier. The Texans are the biggest surprise of the year at 5-4 with OROY CJ Stroud having an amazing year and the Bills are the biggest disappointment with their latest blunder vs the Broncos putting them at 5-5.
Tier 4: Could Make Noise but Probably Won't
18. Washington Commanders (4-6) Last Week: #19
Next Week Matchup: vs Giants
19. New York Jets (4-5) Last Week: #17
Next Week Matchup: @ Bills
20. Indianapolis Colts (5-5) Last Week: #21
Next Week Matchup: BYE Week
21. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) Last Week: #20
Next Week Matchup: @ 49ers
22. Denver Broncos (4-5) Last Week: #25
Next Week Matchup: vs Vikings on SNF
23. Las Vegas Raiders (5-5) Last Week: #26
Next Week Matchup: @ Dolphins
Tier 4 is for teams that still have playoff potential and aspirations but seem to have hit or be hitting their peaks this season. The Commanders seem to always come up just short against the best of the best but look terrible against the worst teams they've faced. The Colts have a decent offense but definitelty are capped with Gardner Minshew at the helm, same as the Jets with Zach Wilson despite their Top-8 defense. The Broncos may be the surprise of this group with a current three-game win streak including a road win in Buffalo this week.
Tier 5: Time to Tank
24. Los Angeles Rams (3-6) Last Week: #24
Next Week Matchup: vs Seahawks
25. Tennessee Titans (3-6) Last Week: #22
Next Week Matchup: @ Jaguars
26. Atlanta Falcons (3-7) Last Week: #23
Next Week Matchup: BYE Week
27. Chicago Bears (3-7) Last Week: #29
Next Week Matchup: @ Lions
28. Green Bay Packers (3-6) Last Week: #28
Next Week Matchup: vs Chargers
29. New England Patriots (2-8) Last Week: #27
Next Week Matchup: BYE Week
30. Arizona Cardinals (2-8) Last Week: #32
Next Week Matchup: @ Texans
31. New York Giants (2-8) Last Week: #30
Next Week Matchup: @ Commanders
32. Carolina Panthers (1-8) Last Week: #31
Next Week Matchup: vs Cowboys
Last but also least, Tier 5 is for teams that are better off planning for next season and maybe even tanking for the ultra-loaded 2024 rookie class. The Panthers, Cardinals and Giants look to be running for the bottom-3 picks even though Chicago holds the Panthers' and their own pick currently at #5. The Rams, Falcons and Patriots are all on 3-game losing streaks but look like they could make a late season push for a couple of wins. The Titans may have accidently stumbled on their next Franchise QB in Will Levis and the Packers may be realizing Jordan Love isn't the Franchise QB they'd hoped for.
This year's draft class is the most remarkable at QB we've seen in a long time and may lead to several of these teams losing most of their final games this year in what will be known as the "Caleb Williams sweepstakes".
