It's been three weeks since my last full ranking of each NFL team, so it's time to do it again. It feels like there isn't a particularly dominant team this year like there have been in years past, but there are several teams I would consider elite and have a legitimate chance to contend for the Super Bowl. On the other hand, there are a handful of teams that I would consider "F-tier," meaning the garbage heaps of the league. Most teams are somewhere in the middle of those groups and are therefore more difficult to place in order. Like always, the following rankings will take into consideration overall records, strength of schedules, head-to-head matchups, and general competitiveness in games. Some squads have experienced significant movements one way or the other since my week 3 rankings, while others have remained relatively constant in relation to the rest of the field. The change in rank from last time to this time will be indicated in either green or red letters beside the team names. 1.
