Happy Halloween week! Enjoy this spooky season with a snack of your favorite candy, because the power rankings are back!

My computer fried itself and I’m writing this from my phone, but nothing was going to stop me from delivering these sweet, sweet rankings to the people.

A lot has changed since my last edition of these rankings, and it’s time to look at these teams more holistically. I’ve re-ordered the tiers a bit and you’ll notice some more movement than you normally would when I updated these each week.

While you’re reading this, I’ll be on the hunt for a new laptop. Let’s dive right in:

Tier 1: Super Bowl Favorites

This tier is for the locked-in title contenders. Teams won’t move into (or out of) this tier very easily.

1 — Kansas City Chiefs (5-3, UP 6)

Last week: W 28-7 vs. Washington Commanders

The Chiefs are getting their weapons back and this offense is starting to hum. Their win over the Lions proved Kansas City is for real, now they need to build momentum.

2 — Los Angeles Rams (5-2, UP 1)

Last week: BYE

There might not be a more complete, complimentary team in the league. The Rams own the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, with the best defensive line in the league and a bevy of weapons on offense.

3 — Indianapolis Colts (7-1, UP 5)

Last week: W 38-14 vs. Tennessee Titans

Not only do the Colts have the most efficient offense in the NFL this season, they have one of the most efficient offenses we’ve seen in decades. If they can just get healthy on defense, they won’t really have a weakness.

4 — Detroit Lions (5-2, —)

Last week: BYE

There might be new names and faces involved, but the Lions haven’t gone anywhere. This team is a machine and they’re here to stay.

5 — Philadelphia Eagles (6-2, DOWN 3)

Last week: W 38-20 vs. New York Giants

It hasn’t always been pretty, but the Eagles are getting the job done. This defense is struggling a bit with injuries and a lack of depth, but look for Philly to address this at the trade deadline.

6 — Buffalo Bills (5-2, DOWN 5)

Last week: W 40-9 vs. Carolina Panthers

With the reigning MVP in QB Josh Allen, there’s nothing the Bills offense can’t do. However, their defense is vulnerable, and it might cap their ceiling as a team.

7 — Green Bay Packers (5-1-1, DOWN 2)

Last week: W 35-25 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

This Packers team is frustratingly inconsistent. There are games where they look like the best team in the league, and others where it just isn’t working. I trust Green Bay’s ceiling, though.

Tier 2: Potential Contenders

While these teams might not be true favorites, they’re almost certain to make the playoffs at minimum. They might have the ceiling of a Super Bowl contender, but lack...
