. . . Chicago Bears. 32. team. 57

Why are the Bears ranked last? Well, go take a look at that roster because outside of guys like Darnell Mooney, Roquan Smith, and Robert Quinn, there is not much to like.

Their offensive line might be in worse shape than a year ago, and that is saying a lot as Justin Fields was knocked around like a ragdoll. He will be running for his life once again. It is just not a good team overall.

31. team. 10. . . . Houston Texans

They may have a promising quarterback that could legitimately turn into a franchise-caliber quarterback, but he does not have the help around him to have a fair shot. His top pass catcher is Brandin Cooks whose name used to be everywhere when it came to trades.

Their defense has some solid pass rushers but that will not get it done, just like how the Falcons’ secondary won’t be able to keep the defense afloat.

. Seattle Seahawks. 30. team. 36. .

Russell Wilson was holding this team up by himself, sure they have not been great for a few years, but he at least helped them stay somewhat competitive, now that they do not have him or Bobby Wagner, the team is a disaster.

Geno Smith or Drew Lock, does it really matter? This team on paper is not good and that is unfortunate for Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf.

Carolina Panthers. 29. team. 87. . .

How does anyone think that the Panthers are better than the Falcons? The Panthers had a QB competition between Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield…….

Yeah, they have D.J. Moore, Christian McCaffrey, and Brian Burns, but you can count on one of those guys — and I think we all know who is being referenced here — to get injured at least once during the season.

. Detroit Lions. 28. team. 50. .

The second NFC North team to make an appearance on here and we are only five spots in. The Detroit Lions might have some supporters, but they really need to prove it on the field first because why would we ever believe that they will be any different this year?

After all, Jared Goff is still their start. Is he solid? Yes, but he won’t win you many games by himself. The only reason people are giving them support is that their head coach says things that make headlines every day. News flash! Entertaining coaches do not result in wins, and the same can be said about intense coaches.
