Here we go. The 5th best team in the NFL right now today for the 1st time in the top 5 ranking are the upstart Dallas Cowboys. Not not even a playoff team. You got them 5th in the whole league. They are currently not a playoff team, but they are over 500. They did beat Kansas City. They did beat Philadelphia, and they're hotter than a pistol right now. Nobody wants any smoke from the 6, 5-1 Dallas Cowboys currently in ninth place. Before you move on, the Chiefs Cowboys game on Thanksgiving drew 57.2 million viewers, the most watched regular season game in. NFL history and the Cowboys got all the calls like they were the 90s Cowboys. That's what. But yeah, the previous record was 42.1 million, 57.2 million to destroy the record. You've got America's team and the team in the NFL forces down our throats. Sunday night again this week, right? I mean, all they do is play at nighttime. All right, so the Dallas Cowboys are the 5th best team in all football and they're going to be in the postseason. They might. Even win the NFC East. That's on the table right now. All right, let's go. The 4th best team in the NFL right now is the #1 seed in the NFC 9 and 3, just beat your Eagles on Friday night after Thanksgiving. The Chicago Bears and Ben Johnson, that running game is awesome. The line's playing great. Caleb is not, but the defense is playing good football too. Can't argue with this one. Can't argue with this. Look at that. I can't argue with it. All right, I like it. The 3rd best team in the NFL, you're gonna define this objectionable, of course, is another team on the outside looking in, if it ended today, but nobody wants to smoke of the Houston Texans. Now, see, this is another one. Now they shouldn't be 3rd. They should probably be 5th Cowboys off, but they deserve to be on the list. They're scary right now and, um, everybody. To play them is in a lot of trouble. They are 7 and 5. They have Kansas City at Kansas City, and here's the rub on that game. If the Texans win that game, it knocks the Chiefs out of the playoffs. They will not be done, done. All right, and I will dance a little Irish jig in my house if and when that happens. Texans defense is the best defense of football. CJ Stroud is back, not playing great. But CJ Straud's only 2 games back from the concussion and the Houston Texans right now are one of the hotter teams. Plus, they're 4 and 1 in that division. The Texans are getting in and the Texans might make the run. Yeah, and they get the tiebreakers to that point because of that good division record. I'm telling you that guy, D'Amico Ryan is a real coach. No doubt about it. That's a great coach. All right, so the Texans are 3rd. All right, the 2nd best team right now in the NFL doesn't get any national love at all. And I understand why it's because of where they're located and because of who their quarterback is. But you cannot sleep. On the Seattle Seahawks and Mike McDonald, the head coach and what Sam Darnold is doing had one terrible game. The rest of the year has been really, really good. Still boggles my mind that Minnesota let him walk for JJ McCarthy, idiotic, but Sam Darnold and Seattle, they've got the defense. They have arguably the best wide receiver in football in Jackson Smith and the Jigba. They can run the ball with K9 and they are a very good team and a very tough out. The last game of the year for that. The rematch against San Francisco is gonna have a lot to say about where they get seeded in the postseason. Yeah, absolutely can't argue with this one. Like you can make an argument for first. And another thing where the producer Ethan was wrong and I was right. Yes, that's right, which is typical on this show, which is why he produces and doesn't host, right? He was, he was, he was judging me when I said Seattle was good. You remember Chris. I do remember that. You remember you were on Seattle from week 3. I was on in week 1, but it's another one. All right, the number 1 team right now. In the NFL and they're coming off a bad loss, a loss that might cost them a home playoff game. But the LA Rams are still right now the best team in football. They run the ball well. They've got an MVP candidate in Sam, and, uh, in Matthew Stafford, obviously very well coached. And I think the loss against Carolina was an outlier. And if you watch that game and I watched some of it on Red Zone. They had a couple of turnovers in the red zone. They were going in to put a 50 burger on Carolina and Stafford made a couple of mistakes and that may haunt them because they may cost on the division, but I still think we can put that game in the trash can and still view the Rams as the best team in the NFL.
