7. Arizona Cardinals (8)

It is tough to win in the NFL—especially in division games.  With that said, a three point win against the pitiful San Francisco 49ers cannot project a whole lot of confidence for a team that has been mightily inconsistent throughout the year.  The Cardinals have some work to do if they’d like to make a third straight trip to the playoffs.

10. New York Giants (9)

The Giants are really playing some good football now, winning all the close games that they weren’t winning a year ago.  They play in perhaps the most competitive division in football, but if they keep it up, they should be able to make a play at a wildcard spot.

11. Washington Redskins (13)

Long live the days of “You like that!?!?”  Enter “OOOH WEEE,” a reference to Rick and Morty.  This is the new celebration from Kirk Cousins after yet another Redskins win.  The Skins are playing some very strong football, and they are in prime position to make a return trip to the playoffs.

12. Houston Texans (16)

It really doesn’t matter how they’ve got there—6-3 is 6-3.  The Texans finally got their elusive road win, and now they get to travel to Mexico for a true test against the Oakland Raiders.  We’ll see if they can get a streak going outside of Houston.
