00:00These are the five best teams of football as we speak.

00:03Number five, the Denver Broncos.

00:06I'm cool with that.

00:07I'm cool with that.

00:08I mean, they beat everybody, but they're not impressive.

00:12They are not impressive.

00:14Everybody they beat, they beat on a last-second field goal.

00:17But the Denver Broncos are still right there at 11-2

00:22with the best record, Todd, we're doing it, of course, in the AFC.

00:26Ten straight wins.

00:27And they are either the one seed or the two seed.

00:30Coming into the playoffs, the Denver Broncos are number five.

00:32Number four, going to go to the NFC.

00:35They're not perfect yet, but they show glimpses of being a problem.

00:40And they're in first place, the Green Bay Packers.

00:43Yeah, there's a lot to build on.

00:45I do question Love in the big moments, his consistency.

00:48You can see he might be the best thrower currently in the NFL at times,

00:51but he's not consistent.

00:539-3-1, obviously, they just took care of business against Chicago.

00:56Great game, by the way.

00:57Chicago drops down to 9-4, so a half game out.

01:00But the Green Bay Packers right now are the fourth-best team in football,

01:05and they've got that division lead for the moment.

01:07Number three, only one you can argue with me,

01:10and I don't think you're going to argue with me this week,

01:12the third-best team in all of football right now are the Houston Texans.

01:17See, I can't really argue.

01:19Houston just knocked Kansas City out.

01:21Right.

01:21And also, on this show.

01:23They're 8-5.

01:24We'll never find the tape.

01:25I predicted them to make the playoffs when they were 0-3.

01:27Nobody remembers that.

01:28Nobody remembers that.

01:29It's on the program.

01:30Nobody remembers that.

01:32After Ethan made fun of it.

01:33The Texans right now are the seventh seed,

01:35and they would play the Patriots if it ended today.

01:38So, the Texans have the best defense in the AFC.

01:41Stroud's coming back, obviously.

01:43They don't run the ball great.

01:44Their offensive line isn't great.

01:46But, man, that defense takes over games.

01:48I think the Texans right now are the team to beat in the AFC.

01:52Wow.

01:53The number two team, the L.A. Rams.

01:56L.A. Rams right now, seeding-wise, are the number one seed in the NFC.

02:01So, I went chalk on this one.

02:03Nothing bad you could say about the Rams.

02:05They do everything well,

02:07and they're going to be a problem for everybody in the postseason

02:10because they've got all the elements of a championship team.

02:13The coach, the quarterback, the running game, the wide receivers.

02:16They've got it all.

02:18Which means there's a different team atop the Power Five this week.

02:22All right.

02:22And, again, this changes every Wednesday.

02:24It's all based on performances that we've seen.

02:26The number one team right now, and they get no love.

02:31They get no respect.

02:33They're the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL.

02:36But the best team right now, they're not the one seed.

02:40They're not the two seed.

02:41They're not the three seed.

02:42They're not the four seed.

02:44But they are the 10-3 Seattle Seahawks.

02:49And the only reason they're not the one seed is because they lose the tiebreaker to the Rams.

02:55They've got the same record as the best team in the NFC.

03:00They are both 10-3, but they lose the tiebreaker to the Rams.

03:04The Seahawks, they're getting great defense.

03:08They run the ball.

03:09They've got the wide receiver of the year this year in Jagman Smith and the Jigba.

03:13They've got Darnold playing his ass off.

03:16They're well coached.

03:17They are a problem for everyone, and they are my week 14 number one team atop the Power Five.

03:25That's interesting.

03:26They have, just to add on real fast with them, they have the Colts.

03:29And then on a short week, it's Rams-Seahawks in the rematch for the one seed, what, 10 days,

03:35eight days from now?

03:36And they end the season with the Niners.

03:38And depending on what the Rams, Seahawks, and San Fran does, that game can be for three spots

03:44in the NFC postseason.

03:46Absolutely, it could be.

03:47And the number one seed overall.

03:48So I can't argue with this.

03:49This is a good list this week.

03:51I felt pretty good about it.

03:53The Texans are going to the Super Bowl, folks.

03:55Let's not sleep on that.

03:57I'll tell you another team not to sleep on.

03:59If Miami beats Pittsburgh, the Dolphins might go to the playoffs this year.
