4. Buffalo Bills (+5)

The Bills have won one game by more than one score all season and that was against the New York Jets in Week 1. So, how can they be a top-5 team?

Honestly, it is pretty simple and that is because I think that Josh Allen is one of the most fun players to watch in the NFL. It is an overused cliche, but he reminds me of Brett Favre in all the best ways from his ability to create instant power and velocity when he throws, to his habit of doing really stupid things.

I think that fun is infectious too and the undefeated Bills look like a team that is excited to play every single week.

Stefon Diggs and John Brown may be the most dangerous tandem of receivers in the NFL, and every week the coaching staff finds new and unique ways to attack defenses.

This feels like a team poised to win double digit games and take home the AFC East crown and they have earned a high spot in these power rankings until they start to look worried that they might lose a game.

3. Green Bay Packers (+1)

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…

Or at least that is what I would normally say. The difference this week is that the Baltimore Ravens lost on Monday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs after the last rankings went live. That means that the Packers naturally rise one spot.
