6. Kansas City Chiefs
Although they sit at 6-5, the Chiefs are a very good team and should still make the playoffs. Once there, they can beat anyone, which they have proven in the Mahomes era. They need a strong finish to the season. Their comeback win against the Colts, who are one of the better teams in the AFC this season, could be what they need to propel them into a big winning streak now.
7. Green Bay Packers
The Packers are 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.
8. Buffalo Bills
The Bills defense still cannot stop the run, and the offense has been inconsistent this season. Their Week 10 loss to Miami was embarrassing, and they have fallen further behind the Patriots in the division. Their loss on Thursday Night Football to the Texans showed that they have a problem offensively, too. The playmakers around Josh Allen aren’t good enough.
