This season is wide open. Looking at 9 sets of power rankings I saw 5 different teams ranked 1. (Rams, Bills, Eagles, Colts, and us) and 11 teams have a top 5 rank which much make them a contender in the eyes of the writer. That means that a third of the league could be classed as "contenders"
5 of the rankings I saw had the Rams top (with the others having 1 each), although Vegas favors the Bills, Vegas actually has the Chiefs second who were top of some power rankings before getting toppled by the Bills.
I find it hard to rank us, we have not slipped up against a weak team (yet) which is obviously good but our only game against one of the 11 "contenders" was our loss to the Buccs. Our games against the Rams and Colts might give a better indication about how likely we are to win against teams in the play-offs.
