NFL: Contenders & Pretenders 2.0

Multiple teams have separated themselves as clear cut division champions like the Green Bay Packers (8-3), Baltimore Ravens (7-3), and Tennessee Titans (8-3), while the AFC East and NFC West races look like they will come down to the final weeks. Both Super Bowl teams from a year ago, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7-3) and Kansas City Chiefs (7-4), have struggled to be consistent but are still in first place. The Arizona Cardinals (9-2) are holding onto the NFL's best record despite being without Kyler Murray, who is expected to miss a third straight game due to a sprained ankle. The Los Angeles Rams (7-3) and Buffalo Bills (7-4) are also wildly talented and should be considered potential contenders but Buffalo can't feel very secure with the New England Patriots (7-4) on a 5-game win streak. The Patriots travel to Tennessee for a key matchup on Sunday afternoon.
