\nConference Leaders Clash Could Preview Super Bowl<\/p>\nDraft Insiders\u2019<\/em> – NFL Power Poll – Week 8
\nNFL Ranking \/Record \/Team<\/h4>\n
\nPats continue to dominate the AFC East with the best defense in the NFL plus Tom Brady.<\/p>\n
\nSaints\u2019 are undefeated with backup QB Teddy Bridgewater while Drew Brees is almost ready.<\/p>\n
\nThe 49ers are the most improved club in the league with the acid test coming at midseason.<\/p>\n
\nThe Packers are riding an early MVP performance by Aaron Rodgers back to the top of the NFC North.<\/p>\n
\nChiefs\u2019 are waiting for QB Patrick Mahomes to return, but D must improve to maintain this ranking.<\/p>\n
\nQB Jacoby Brissert has performed brilliantly after abrupt Andrew Luck retirement. The Colts defense is emerging as a solid top ten unit.<\/p>\n
\nRavens won a huge game beating the Seahawks on the road. Get their bye this week before facing strong schedule.<\/p>\n
\nSeahawks fell to the Ravens. Get the stumbling Falcons this week.<\/p>\n
\nVikings beat the Lions for a big NFC North victory. Host the Skins this Thursday night game.<\/p>\n
\nBills\u2019 QB Josh Allen is emerging as a difference maker. Host the Eagles in key interconference matchup.<\/p>\n
\nThe Cowboys jumped the Eagles bones last week. Get their bye week before a heavy road schedule.<\/p>\n
\nRams\u2019 back on the beam after stomping Falcons. Face Bengals across the pond Sunday.<\/p>\n
\nThe Saints made the Bears defense look ordinary in bashing.<\/p>\n
\nTexans\u2019 lost to the Colts in key South battle. Host the Raiders in a key matchup to keep pace in the AFC.<\/p>\n
\nPanthers have won four in a row behind backup QB Kyle Allen while Cam heals. This club faces a huge road test with the 49ers.<\/p>\n
\nThe Titans took care of the Chargers. They host the Bucs to begin a critical stretch of winnable contests.<\/p>\n
\nLions played the Vikings tough, but fell to their 3rd<\/sup> straight loss off late mistakes. Host the Giants this week.<\/p>\n
\nBrowns had two weeks to prepare for the Patriots. This matchup could determine any postseason chances.<\/p>\n
\nEagles were bashed by the Cowboys. Go to Buffalo this week in a key tough and maybe season defining matchup.<\/p>\n
\nJaguars\u2019 beat the Bengals easily. Host pathetic Jets this week looking to get to the .500 level.<\/p>\n
\nThe improved Raiders were toasted by Aaron Rodgers. Travel to Houston for a key AFC matchup.<\/p>\n
\nChargers continue to fail in big spots. The Philip Rivers career window is closing quickly.<\/p>\n
\nSteelers\u2019 are rested to host the Dolphins in a must win situation if they want to get into AFC playoff contention.<\/p>\n
\nCardinals\u2019 offense is improved behind rookie QB Kyler Murray. Travel to New Orleans for a huge test.<\/p>\n
\nThe Giants allowed the Cards game to get away from them. Travel to Motor City to face a gritty Lions club.<\/p>\n
\nBroncos came up empty once again with another horrible offensive performance. Lacks firepower vs top contenders.<\/p>\n
\nBucs coming off their bye week. Travel to Tennessee to see if they can regroup for 2nd<\/sup> half of schedule.<\/p>\n
\nThe Redskins were shutout by the 49ers. Look to turn to rookie QB Dwayne Haskins over the next month.<\/p>\n
\nFalcons have given up an NFL worst 223 points in 2019. Trade of wideout Sanu may be just the start of housecleaning.<\/p>\n
\nBengals\u2019 coming up empty weekly. Look to London matchup with the Rams to get in the victory column.<\/p>\n
\nJets\u2019 were an embarrassment in their blowout to the Patriots. Must regroup to face the Jaguars on the road.<\/p>\n
\nDolphins may not win a game. Travel to Steel city to face the desperate Steelers Monday night.<\/p>\n
