4. Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears have a couple of really fun ingredients as a team so far this season. They are the best team in the NFL so far this year at creating takeaways, and they have a ton of young playmakers on the offensive side of the ball who are being used every week as chess pieces by Ben Johnson. There's no doubt that this upcoming stretch of games will be massive for the Bears, but they've been a fun story so far this year. And as of Black Friday, they've put themselves in great position with a win over the Eagles.
3. Seattle Seahawks
If you want to talk about the most balanced teams in the NFL this season, the Seahawks have to be close to the top of that list overall. Seattle has been elite when it comes to both offense and defense this season, and it feels like they could be true contenders. To be fair, we were saying similar things last year at this time about the Minnesota Vikings, so the pressure is on Sam Darnold to make it happen come January.
2. Green Bay Packers
We've been all over the map with the Green Bay Packers in our NFL Power Rankings this year, but there's no question that this team -- at its best -- is truly one of the elite teams in the NFL. The Detroit Lions found that out on Thanksgiving. Jordan Love has been playing well despite being banged up over the last few weeks, and even with some struggles offensively in the month of November, this team could be turning it up at just the right time.
1. Los Angeles Rams
No team in the NFL heading into Week 13 has looked as good as the Los Angeles Rams. Obviously, this is a team you have to take seriously as a Super Bowl contender, but it isn't just because of Sean McVay or Matthew Stafford. The Rams have elite weapons offensively, they have an elite pass rush, and they are getting so much out of a secondary that came into the year with huge question marks. They look like the best all-around team in the NFL right now.
