21. Tennessee Titans (4-4) Last Week: 21 – The Titans are only a game behind the Texans in the AFC West. Mariota and Murray have been spectacular.

22. Cincinnati Bengals (3-4-1) Last Week: 18 – I keep thinking that they’re going to turn it around, but maybe they’re just not a great team.

23. Miami Dolphins (3-4) Last Week:22 – How long will Jay Ajayi keep this up? If he keeps running the ball for 200 yards per game Miami might find itself in playoff contention.

24. Indianapolis Colts (3-5) Last Week: 19 – Correction to what I said last week: The Colts are not the best team in the South.

25. Los Angeles Rams (3-4) Last Week: 25 – It would be nice to see Todd Gurley get going  – for both the Rams and my fantasy team.

Last Week: 25

26. New York Jets (3-5) – They’re not out of it yet, but one more loss would probably end their season.

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-4) Last Week: 23 – They have some talented young players, but are still a year or two away.

28. Baltimore Ravens (3-4) Last Week: 27 – They’re on a four game losing streak and need to win this week to keep their season alive.

29. Chicago Bears (2-6) Last Week: 30 – Cutler looked good Monday night, as did Jordan Howard. Let’s see if they could string a few wins together.

30. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-5) Last Week: 29 – Blake Bortles has not looked the same. The team is not going in the right direction despite the young talent they have. They will be good in a few years.

31. San Francisco 49ers (1-6) Last Week: 31 – This team was competing for Super Bowls just a few years ago.

32. Cleveland Browns (0-8) Last Week: 32 – How awesome would it be if the Browns beat Dallas?

The Vikings look to get back to their winning ways this weekend at US Bank Stadium. It’s good the team is home this weekend after two dreadful performances against the Eagles and the Bears. It will be interesting to see if our O-line gets massacred this week, especially with Boone out. Well, hopefully we get a win. Skol!
