But let me give you the power 55 best teams in football. This changes every single week. It's never been wrong. Your 5th-best team coming off of the win that knocked the Chiefs officially out of the playoffs, your Los Angeles Chargers, everybody. They would have won that game if Mahomes doesn't get hurt. Only give up 3rd. points to the Chiefs. The Chargers are for Rizzle, so they're the fifth-best team in football. Number 4, I know most of you don't trust this team yet, and I don't hate you for it. It's a tough team to figure out some days, but the San Francisco 49ers are back. Defense playing lights out and Brock Purdy is now getting in a rhythm again and George Kittle's healthy and that's that offense, of course, McCaffrey healthy as well. The San Francisco 49ers are 4th in 3rd, 3rd in their division. LA Rams, LA Rams. OK. The Rams, I worry a little bit about Waddle. I'm waddle. What am I saying waddle. About Devonte Adams, I apologize about that. I'm worried about Adams. He's out Thursday. He's got the hamstring issue. It's plagued him a little bit this year. He has to be on the field for the Rams to win a Super Bowl. All due respect to Pukunaku and Matthew Stafford, but the Rams right now are the best team in the NFC. I think San Francisco is 2nd. All right, number 2, gotta give him love and respect. The way they handled Green Bay last weekend, the Denver Broncos are legitimate. I thought Bo Nix had his best game this year, and the Broncos are #2. So, #1, sorry, New England, you're not even in the top 5. You proved what I thought you were, and that's a bunch of clowns who can only beat bad teams, which is why the Bills came back and beat you. The #1 team in football today, the Houston Texans. Best defense, CJ Stroud's balling, and you can't beat them right now.
