7. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Are they lucky and good, or just really darn good? The Buccaneers have been winning close games, led by Baker Mayfield, who has a flair for the dramatic in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. He has played most of the season with his best offensive weapons injured, and still, the Bucs have one of the best records in the league. Although there is no team that they can’t beat, there are teams that are better on paper.
8. Green Bay Packers
This is a team that hasn’t played its best football since the first couple of weeks of the season, yet they are finding ways to win games that they have no business winning. Micah Parsons has finally started showing just how dangerous he can make this defense when he is healthy. The loss to the Panthers in Week 9 is one that they can’t afford to lose.
