2. Bills (No. 2; 12-3): Can the defense hold up in the playoffs?
3. Vikings (No. 4; 13-2): They’re the most overlooked 13-2 team the NFL has ever seen. They aren’t overlooked here.
4. Lions (No. 5; 13-2): They answered the bell against the Bears. It might all come down to Week 18 against the Vikings.

13. Texans (No. 12; 9-6): Still searching for that signature win.
14. Falcons (No. 18; 8-7): Michael Penix, Jr. seems unflappable. We’ll see if it translates from Giants to Commanders.
15. Buccaneers (No. 11; 8-7): Every time it seems like they’ve figured it out, it goes the other way.
16. Bengals (No. 17; 7-8): If they can get a seat at the table, they can run the table.
17. Seahawks (No. 14; 8-7): It’s amazing they’re still alive, after losing six of their last seven home games.
18. Cowboys (No. 21; 7-8): They’ve apparently saved Mike McCarthy.
