6. Green Bay Packers – 289.4 Total Yards Against

When you have nine sacks in two weeks, you tend to move up on the defensive power rankings, and that’s what the Green Bay Packers have done. This week they got some home cooking as they get the Panthers in Lambeau Field.

7. Los Angeles Chargers – 296.9 Total Yards Against

After a bad game against the Colts, the Los Angeles Chargers bounced back strong by sacking Carson Wentz five times and putting him off l on the shelf for the year. This week is easy mode for them as they face the Titans in Tennessee.

8. Detroit Lions – 300.0 Total Yards Against

The Lions showed their stuff by shutting down the Buccaneers, which isn’t an easy task. They have the Vikings next up after having the week off, which should be another entertaining NFC North game.

9. New England Patriots – 300.4 Total Yards Against

Coming off a strong game against the Browns, the Patriots have the recently punked Falcons coming to town this week. Even though the Falcons have Bijan Robinson, I feel the Patriots can hold them down, giving them a chance to win this week.

10. Seattle Seahawks – 305.9 Total Yards Against

Fresh off a bye, the Seahawks are headed across the nation to face the Commanders in Washington this week. Before their bye, the Seahawks only gave up 25 points while recording 10 sacks in their last two games.
