Tier One Spotlight: Las Vegas Raiders

"This may be for a week or two, at best, but the Raiders are back in the Top-10. It's hard to ignore the quality wins this team has accrued. Getting blown out by Brady's Bucs is not enough to overshadow wins against the Chiefs, Saints and now Browns on the road. Winning on Sunday was huge for their playoff hopes, they just need to find a modicum of consistency over the back-half of the season."

Tier Two Spotlight: Cincinnati Bengals

"The Bengals are far and away the best bad team in football. This rookie led team has officially covered the Vegas spread every week and just pulled off a major home upset. Still in a position to land a Top-10 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, this team future is very bright."

Tier Three Spotlight: San Francisco 49ers

"With a whopping $80M of their salary cap on the IR, the Niners can officially call the Revenge Tour over. I am writing these rankings following the news that several of their key players will miss Thursday nights' contest against the Packers due to a recent COVID outbreak. This goes beyond a Super Bowl Hangover, this is an Post-Super Bowl Curse."
