12. Tampa Bay Bucs (+2)

Tampa Bay looks like the perfect place for Tom Brady to end up.

I have been down on Tom Brady since last year, and I still think that he is fighting his age and it is causing him to make some mistakes (4 pick-sixes in his last 6 games). However, no one can look at his game and think that he isn’t in a great position to succeed.

The Bucs defense is one of the best in the NFL and even though Justin Herbert torched it a little bit today, that doesn’t mean that they are any less talented. This defense is what is helping carry this team into the top-12 of these power rankings and even on a bad day they are enough to support an above average offense like this.

Mike Evans had a nice day, but he needs to stay healthy because without him and without O.J. Howard, the ceiling on this offense drops drastically.

11. New England Patriots (+0)

The Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers play on Monday night along with the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs, so their spots in the ranking will not change.
