Top 5 NFL Teams in 2018
Hi there I’m Jordan Spurgeon, host of the Spurge here on KKSM every Friday from 6 to 8 am. I talk sports and here is my breakdown of the top 5 NFL teams as we head into week 3 of the 2018 NFL season. Tune in this Friday for my full power rankings!!
- Cincinnati Bengals
Nobody thought the Bengals would be 2-0 to start the season but BOY OH BOY does their defense look phenomenal. Doesn’t hurt that AJ Green and Andy Dalton loom to be back to form. Maybe this could be the year that Marvin Lewis and the Bengals win a playoff game.
- Jacksonville Jaguars
We all know about their Defense, but offensively Blake Bortles is really learning how to play his role. He outplayed Tom Brady this week and if he can continue to play like that, there isn’t a single team in the AFC capable of beating them.
- Minnesota Vikings
Defense wins championships, but so does a roster loaded with B- to B+ players at every position. Kirk Cousins is an upgrade over Case Keenum at quarterback, who led them to the NFC Championship Game last year, so it’s Super Bowl or bust for the Purple People Eaters in Minnesota.
- Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs have finally realized why they can’t win in the playoffs. Average QB play. Patrick Mahomes is no joke, already posting an NFL record 10 touchdown passes through week 2 of the season. He’s a gunslinger willing to take risks, and those risks could pay out high rewards for the Chiefs on their pursuit of the Lombardi Trophy.
- Los Angeles Rams
This is the DEEPEST roster in the NFL from top to bottom with the most B+ to A level talent. Coach Sean McVay knows his team and with Todd Gurley leading the way offensively plus their upgrades on the defensive line and the secondary, there is no reason to believe that The Rams won’t be playing into late January or early February
Comment below to tell me what you think of these rankings. Did I miss any teams?
