4. Seattle Seahawks – 283 Total Yards Against

The Seahawks are still angry after getting trounced by the Rams in Los Angeles most recently. The Rams put up a big lead, which they held for the entire game. This time, the Seahawks will need to rely on ball control because even though the Rams don’t have Devante Adams, they can still score over 20 points on them again.

3. Cleveland Browns – 279.1 – Total Yards Against

The Browns defense has given up 31 points in each of their last two games and has only recorded five sacks in three games after their 10-sack explosion. I don’t see them sacking Josh Allen that much, which means the Bills should dominate the Browns in a battle for the best team on Lake Erie. I mean, the Browns need a Super Bowl of some sort, and this could be it.

2. Los Angeles Chargers – 279.1 Total Yards Against

The Chargers continually lock up teams and did that to the Chiefs last week with five sacks and two turnovers. This week, they face the Cowboys, who have an offense that will test the Chargers defense on all levels.

1. Houston Texans – 269.2 Total Yards Against

The Texans continue to buff their stats since their competition has been sub-par recently. They get another lay-up against the Raiders, who may not even gain 200 yards in this game, cementing the Texans as the number one defense again, next week.
