17. Cincinnati Bengals -2-3- The Bengals are off to their worst start in a few years. In their last game they were held scoreless until the fourth quarter. With weapons like AJ Green the Bengals should be finding the end zone more often. In order to get to .500 on the season the Bengals will have the tough task of trying to defeat the Patriots.

18. New York Giants – 2-3- The Giants have lost the last three games after starting 2-0. The Giants have a lot of weapons on offense and if they utilize their three wide receivers they will be able to get back on track. Sitting at the bottom of the NFC East the Giants have their work cut out for them. They look to fix their mistakes and get back to the way they started the season this week against the Ravens.

19. Houston Texans – 3-2- The Texans are sitting on top of the AFC South and should be able to win their division. The Texas lost last week to the Vikings. This week they will come up against the struggling Indianapolis Colts. The Texans defense took a hit when they lost JJ Watt for the season. That is a huge void to fill in order to continue winning.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – 2-3- The Buccaneers pulled out a last second victory over the Panthers last week giving them their second victory. This week the Buccaneers have their bye week. The week off gives Doug Martin more time to heal his hamstring. The Buccaneers sit in second place of their division and in order to stay on the top they are going to need Doug Martin healthy.
