This week's Power Rankings by The Athletic is as follows:

1. Vikings (5-0)
2. Ravens (4-2)
3. Lions (4-1)
4. Chiefs (5-0)

Keep on doubting the Chiefs, idiots!

The Athletic is clearly trying to push the Super Bowl odds down slightly for the Chiefs before they place their large bet on them winning.

The Raiders have the best edgerusher in the league and two very good tight ends.

That's all besides the point though. If we're going to go results-based, then all you need to do is sort the teams in the NFL by record. But we don't do that. Because we know that despite Lamar playing like an MVP right now, and Mahomes making tons of boneheaded plays and horrible throws, we know which one will have his act together in January.

I would personally pick KC over Baltimore, and probably anybody right now. But Baltimore is right there.

Mahomes isn’t making tons of boneheaded mistakes compared to his peers. He is simply not getting away with his mistakes like Josh Allen, CJ Stroud, and others who are putting the ball in danger and getting away with it. The luck of the draw will eventually shift the other direction on some of these guys. Here’s the chart:
