The Miami Dolphins’ stay at the top of the Sport America NFL Power Rankings was short-lived. After the big defeat against the Bills, the team is immediately one of the biggest losers of the week. It puts the 49ers back on top. Who is the biggest climber? Which team can you bet on to win the championship at non GamStop bookmakers at justuk.club? You can read that in this edition of the NFL Power Rankings.

1. (2) San Francisco 49ers

The best team of the first quarter? Probably. The most consistent team? That’s for sure. The 49ers haven’t had any problems in four weeks. Will that change on Sunday? A wonderful test is planned with the meeting with the Cowboys.

2. (3) Philadelphia Eagles

Difficult. That was it again for the Eagles. But the team is 4-0 and there is still a lot of room for improvement, particularly on defense. The Eagles surrendered 31 points and 365 yards during last week’s 34-31 win over Sam Howell and the Washington Commanders.

3. (6) Buffalo Bills

It appears Josh Allen has taken the criticism personally after the loss to the Jets. Because the quarterback is on fire. The Dolphins were already written to the title in the AFC East after the victory over the Broncos, but that path still goes through Buffalo.

4. (4) Dallas Cowboys

It was a shock for Cowboys fans when Micah Parsons had to leave with an injury. After Trevon Diggs, this would be a huge loss for the team. Fortunately, Parsons was able to return. Given the dominant performance over the Patriots, the Cowboys can approach the game with the 49ers with confidence.

5. (5) Kansas City Chiefs

The Chiefs are 2-0 as the Swifties. The romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce is unmissable. Even if you wanted to. It is good for the popularity of the league, but the big question is if and when it will become a distraction for the defending champions.

6. (1) Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins were quickly put back down to earth. Is the defense good enough to participate? Only four teams have conceded more points so far. And Terron Armstead also got injured. Without the tackle, the Dolphins performed less effectively last year.

7. (7) Detroit Lions

The favorite for the NFC North. For many people, they were already the division’s chalk before the season, but on Thursday the Lions showed that they can handle the role of favorite quite well. The Packers were simply put aside. The division title is up for grabs.

8. (8) Seattle Seahawks

Will the Legion of Boom return? The defense accounted for eleven sacks against the Giants, supplemented with a pick-6. It ensured that Geno Smith had to do very little to earn the third win of the season. And due to Joe Burrow’s injury, the next game after the Week 5 bye also looks winnable.

9. (9) Baltimore Ravens

The Browns didn’t have Deshaun Watson, so the Ravens’ performance snowballed a bit. But after three wins, the Ravens are in pole position for the division title. The race is still long, but the competition looks more like a Williams than a Red Bull.

10. (12) Jacksonville Jaguars

On Sunday in London, we saw for the first time something of the Jaguars that we had expected in advance. For the first time, the team will stay in London for a whole week to play a game in the other stadium on Sunday. Then we’ll see how far along the Jags are against the Bills. Fortunately, they are in a division where no team has taken charge just yet.

11. (15) Los Angeles Chargers

An early bye is normally not very favorable, but for the Chargers it couldn’t have come at a better time. Justin Herbert broke a finger on Sunday. Fortunately it wasn’t his throwing hand. But it will affect his passing and that’s a challenge these Chargers aren’t prepared for. They need everything offensively to compensate for the mediocre defense.

12. (19) Tennessee Titans

Derrick Henry is still one of the best running backs. After a down week, he did everything the Titans needed. Run it, catch it and throw a touchdown. The first four weeks have been quite up and down for the Titans. In a division in which four teams suddenly seem to be competitive, the team will have to quickly become more consistent.

13. (21) Los Angeles Rams

Big week for the Rams. Cooper Kupp may participate again next week. This couldn’t come at a better time, because the Eagles are coming to visit. Philly has shown that it is not yet in top form defensively, so Kupp and revelation Puka Nacua should help LA show that they can be a formidable competitor for a playoff berth.

14. (10) Cleveland Browns

It’s difficult to say anything about Sunday’s game v. the Ravens. Defensively it was not as dominant as previous games. That said, it’s difficult to compete when your rookie quarterback is tossing picks all over the yard. The fact that Myles Garrett had to leave the game with an injury could be a real concern for the Browns.

15. (22) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Is Baker Mayfield better than Tom Brady? Too soon? The victory against the Saints was important in the battle for the playoffs. Still, it’s too early to be hopeful about the Bucs. There are still good players on the roster, but is it enough? After this week’s bye week, the schedule will get tougher and we’ll see where Tampa stands.

16. (11) Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals have a choice to make. They won’t get far with this Joe Burrow. Give your star player the rest he needs and then see how you are doing. You may still be in the playoff race because this team has all the qualities to put together a winning streak. But then you need a healthy Burrow.

17. (13) New Orleans Saints

Derek Carr should be the best quarterback in the division. In any case, it is clear that Carr is not completely fit. The Saints will have to find a solution quickly because a performance like Sunday won’t get them far.

18. (29) Houston Texans

The Texans are going through a rapid transformation thanks to CJ Stroud. With four games in a row against the not-yet-impressive NFC South now on the schedule, the good run can continue for a while.

19. (14) Atlanta Falcons

A Drake London touchdown in London. It should be a given, but the Falcons’ offense isn’t making much progress. Still, coach Arthur Smith remains confident in his quarterback Desmond Ridder. The Falcons will need to start stacking wins. If not, Smith’s job could at stake, and that could influence some lineup changes.
