28. Dallas Cowboys (-2)

This makes me sad to even talk about, but for all of the moaning that comes from Eagles fans, their rivals the Cowboys are the team who has been devastated by injuries more than any other team in the NFL.

Now on their 3rd QB and what feels like their 20th offensive lineman, the Cowboys are just playing out the string and praying that they can find ways to keep their jobs in 2021.

It is hard to analyze a team this banged up, but you would be hard-pressed to find a team that wouldn’t be favored to beat them right now.

27. Cincinnati Bengals (+1)

Joe Burrow has been getting better quietly, but there is nothing quiet about a day with 400 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Even though the Bengals didn’t win Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, Joe Burrow looked much better than he did against the Browns earlier in the season. With the playoffs likely out of reach and with a mass exodus of older players coming at some point, it is great to see young guys like Burrow, Tyler Boyd, and Tee Higgins, all doing well.
