20. Green Bay Packers (2-2)
The Green Bay Packers won, barely, over Tampa Bay in Week 4, but this season does feel like a lost cause. So many key players are hurt, and now their stud linebacker, Edgerrin Cooper, tore his Achilles, which is flat-out devastating.
The Packers are now 2-2 on the season, which is something, but their simply hemmoraging players at an unsustainable rate. It’d be a massive shock if they found a way to sneak into the playoffs, but with how stable this franchise has been for years, this team isn’t just going to pack it in.
Jordan Love was an efficient 22/30. He had just 197 yards, but he did have two touchdowns. Running back Kaleb Johnson also had a solid day on the ground, adding 42 yards on eight carries. Overall, even given how banged-up the Packers are, this game should have ended the way it did.
Green Bay is the better team and at least gives themselves a fighting chance going forward.
19. New Orleans Saints (1-2)
New Orleans will play on Monday Night Football
New Orleans squares off against Atlanta on Monday Night Football to close out Week 4 of the 2026 season. The Saints have been a fun team this year, as you can clearly see the growth from QB Tyler Shough, and while it’s not always looked pretty, it just feels different.
It’s important to note that the Saints are not there yet - the roster is good but not quite ready to legitimately contend, and both Shough and head coach Kellen Moore are only in their second years in their respective roles.
This team is still growing, and it could take until 2027 before we truly look at them as being legitimate. With that said, they can win the NFC South this year and could absolutely beat the Falcons in Week 4, as the Saints do have a key advantage at the QB position.
The NFC South might end up being a battle of which team can be the least flawed, and heading into MNF, I would bank on the Saints being the winner of that battle. As I have said, keep your Saints stock.
