So who are the teams you think are legit contenders to go deep in the playoffs and who are the pretenders whose records misleads you. Focusing no single loss teams or better here.
Contenders
Falcons - They've looked pretty good. Tough loss this weekend but they had some significant injuries in the game.
Packers - Need to stay healthy and keep Rodgers upright.
Eagles - Wentz has been solid which is what they needed.
Lions - Maybe this is the year they put it all together.
Chiefs - So far the best team in football
Pretenders
Rams - Their schedule has been very favorable so far. They beat Seattle comfortably on Sunday and I would switch them to a contender.
Bills - Nice feel good story but so far they have been squeaking by on effort
Panthers - I have not been super impressed with their play.
Bucs - I'm not sold on Winston at all. Makes too many bad throws.
Broncos - I am not a fan of Simien. Hasn't shown that he can elevate his game when it matters.
Jury's Out
Steelers - They should better than they have been playing so far.
