13. St. Louis Rams – 3-2 – Despite the tough loss last week to the Bills, the Rams are second in the NFC West. Once the Rams figure out how to get Todd Gurley II running everyone better watch out. This team is getting better every week. They are playing the Detroit Lions this week which should be a good game.

14. Carolina Panthers – 1-4 – Even though they lost three straight games, the Panthers get Cam Newton back this week after he sat out last week due a concussion. Newton has many weapons on the offense and once they get into their groove they will be hard to beat. Last week they lost on a game winning field goal by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They will look to rebound this week against the New Orleans Saints.

15. Washington Redskins – 3-2- After starting 0-2 the Redskins have won three straight games. Kirk Cousins has found ways to win. Last week the Redskins defeated their cross town rival. Playing against Baltimore is always a battle with both teams thinking about the win for weeks. This week they are facing their division foe the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are in second place in the division and the Redskins are looking to knock them out of that spot.

 16. Baltimore Ravens – 3-2- The Ravens have lost two straight games after starting 3-0. The offense doesn’t have any deep threats and they released Justin Forsett. The defense is containing offenses keeping them out of the end zone but the offense is having trouble producing. Up next the Ravens face the New York Giants.
