You guys can't seriously consider the Cowboys a top 5 team! (right now) They are 1-2 with losses against the Commanders and CHICAGO which we knew was an awful team. The defense has been pretty solid but tends to be hit and miss up until the redzone where they stiffen up. The offense can still put up the great numbers but still struggle so far scoring. They aren't consistently getting it done yet so there's no way to fairly judge teams like the Saints, Chargers or especially Green Bay with negativity when Dallas is worse.
Dallas can put it together but so can some of these other teams. For me Dallas is still in the middle until t hey play better. Not necessarily 'win' but play consistently good football which they haven't. We know they CAN but they may not be there yet.
I will stick with my week 1 picks with a couple of order changes and 1 drop (Texans for Colts)
-Packers are a very good team and it sucks to play them at Lambeau again. [from 3 to 1]
-The Saints have been consistently good so still up there at number one.[from 1 to 2]
-The Chargers dominated their game but had critical mistakes in a very hostile environment. I think 9 out of 10 times that game goes the other way plus they are missing 2 very key players so number two. [from 2 to 3]
-The Ravens look to be a very good team, unfortunately.
-The Patriots have a proven formula that works and Brady looks sharp.
-I would say maybe Texans, they have a very good defense and it will get better when roidrage returns but in a matchup the Giants beat them the majority of the time. Hard to say because they could slip, who knows? [I think now this spot goes to the Colts even though they lost to their cryptonite... The Texans are still a playoff team I think and who knows how good the Giants are come December]
