16. Atlanta Falcons – 326.5 Total Yards Against

The Falcons are a good team that always looks lost when they play most Sundays. After the Panthers had their way with them this season, they head to New Orleans to play the Saints, who I feel have a chance to win this game.

15. Carolina Panthers – 325.9 Total Yards Against

Speaking of the Panthers, after beating the Falcons again, they’ll be facing the Niners this week. With Brock Purdy back for the Niners, it’s going to be a long day for the Panthers defense, who have only had three sacks in the past three games.

14. Jacksonville Jaguars – 323.6 Total Yards Against

The Jaguars surprised everyone last week by defeating the Chargers in all facets of the game. This week, they’ll be in Arizona to face the Cardinals in a game that could get out of hand if they let Jacoby Brissett dice them up like he’s done since taking over for Kyler Murray.

13. Los Angeles Rams – 323 Total Yards Against

As I predicted last week, the Rams beat the Seahawks and took over the division lead in the NFC West. After recording four interceptions against Sam Darnold, they will be in another face-paced game against Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers.
