00:00We had Marcus Spears yesterday on Get Up saying the best team in football is the New England Patriots.

00:06A lot of the power rankings, not all though, I noticed Yahoo still had the Pats fourth.

00:11But we were reading this on, I think, Tuesday morning.

00:14Florio has the Pats number one. ESPN, they have the Patriots number one.

00:18Like, I feel like finally they're getting the respect that they probably deserved.

00:24And now, because they were on Monday night, I guess, or because other teams have fallen off enough,

00:29I guess, or it's just late in the year where it's hard to deny a team that's won 10 straight

00:33and has 11 wins the most in football, I feel like they are finally getting the hype that they deserve.

00:40And I think they deserve to be number one in all these power rankings based on where they're at.

00:44I don't think they were, like, completely snubbed before.

00:46I just think now they are getting that proper respect.

00:49Why do you think that all flipped?

00:51Do you think it just had to do with the national audience?

00:53Because it was still the Giants on the other side.

00:55It was still the Giants.

00:56I think the Rams were a lot of people's top team, and the Rams just lost to Carolina on the road.

01:00And Stafford didn't play very well.

01:01So I think that's a good point.

01:03So it's a 10-game winning streak.

01:05It's hard to ignore.

01:06National standout game or breakout game, and the Rams played lousy the day before.

01:10That's a good point.

01:10Because, like, I think I would still put the Rams ahead of the Patriots just based on who the Rams have played

01:16to get to 9-3 versus who the Patriots have played to get to 11-2.

01:20I'd probably go Rams 1, Pats 2.

01:22And a Keith Power ranking.

01:23And a Richard Keith Power ranking, I would.

01:24Oh, wow.

01:24So they're getting too much hype.

01:26In some places.

01:27Yeah.

01:27It might be just the amount.

01:28If you think if they're 4 in some places, I think that's too low.

01:32I think 1, that's fine.

01:33I could see it.

01:34I could make the case.

01:35Like, we were making the case about them in the AFC.

01:37That's why we put them on a top tier.

01:38But it might be a little bit of an overreaction to the Rams.

01:42Had the Rams won, I think everybody would be saying, all right, they're probably still the best teams.

01:47And Stafford's still the favorite and all that stuff.

01:49So with a few more games to go, we'll see how it all shakes out.

01:52But I wonder if we finally hit enough games played where you're like, the Chiefs are 6-6.

01:59So early in the season, you're like, hey.

02:01I think that's happened randomly with people across the country.

02:04But it's also happened betting-wise.
