9. Miami Dolphins (11)

Good news-bad news for the Dolphins.  Good news is that they won the game, and that they get to play the Jets next week.  Bad news is Tannehill has a serious knee injury, and a return this season may not happen.

10.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (12)

Jameis Winston is blossoming into a superstar before our very eyes.  He also has his team on a 5-game win streak, and even in the standings with Atlanta.  It appears he really wants a shot in the big dance.

11. Green Bay Packers (17)

Just like that, the Packers are right back in this thing.  They are the hottest team in the NFL over the past month, and are finally looking like the contenders we all thought they’d be.  Watch out Lions, Rodgers and Co. are coming.

12. Seattle Seahawks (5)

Seattle is a bit bi-polar.  One week they are blowing the doors off the Panthers.  The next, they are getting smacked around by the Packers.  The Earl Thomas injury hurts more than anyone realizes.  He was the best player on that defense, and without him, they simply aren’t the same.
