team. 31. Even at 3-3, the Giants rank low because they fail to dominate their opponents. They only outscored their opponents by a combined 8 points in their three wins. Odell Beckham mauled the Ravens for 222 receiving yards, and the Giants still never pulled away.. -27.90. . New York Giants. 24

59. The Dolphins rank surprisingly high on this list, but if you check their schedule, it’s not that shocking. A strong win against Pittsburgh, a good performance in a week one loss to Seattle, and a bunch of garbage stats against New England push them higher than they deserve.. -0.35. . Miami Dolphins. 23. team

As the lowest rated four win team, Houston is not what their record indicates. Their lopsided losses to New England and Minnesota and the mediocre wins against Kansas City and Indianapolis prove this team is average at best. Brock Osweiler needs to prove he’s worth the contract that he signed.. 0.24. . Houston Texans. 22. team. 10

21. team. 51. Todd Gurley needs help. An offensive line, a quarterback, an offensive coordinator, ANYTHING to help this ridiculously talented kid average more than 2.9 yards a carry. At least the team squeaked out a few wins early, but this still seems like some “7-9 bull s**t.”. 4.04. . Los Angeles Rams

DeMarco Murray is playing like DeMarco Murray of 2014. His yards per carry leaped over last years mark by a full yard. If Marcus Mariota slow down with the turnovers, this team might win a few more games.. 4.76. . Tennessee Titans. 20. team. 35

46. See Rams post and change Todd Gurley to Andrew Luck. Another top tier talent getting wasted on a team who seemingly has no desire to win. Ryan Grigson absolutely dismantled the structural masterpiece Bill Polian engineered over 14 seasons.. 5.06. . Indianapolis Colts. 19. team

18. team. 15. This past Sunday, the Saints and Panthers game must have had Sean Payton all hot and bothered. The Saints won a shootout 41-38. All offense, no defense. Buddy Ryan use to get flack for only coaching up one side of the ball. How does Payton keep getting extensions for the same thing?. 17.36. . New Orleans Saints

50. Calvin Johnson retires and Matthew Stafford steps up to take over the team. Someone needed to tell Stafford to do that when he had one of the greatest talents in the history of the NFL playing with him. Oh well, still an average team with holes on defense.. 19.74. . Detroit Lions. 17. team
