10. Baltimore Ravens
The arrow is very much pointing down for the 4-5 Baltimore Ravens at this point. This team has struggled with injuries at the quarterback position, and that has significantly impacted their flow offensively.
They are trying to “go for it” still with the trade to acquire veteran quarterback Jacoby Brissett from the Arizona Cardinals. And honestly, Brissett might help them out quite a bit. He’s been one of the best passers between the 20s all year.
Maybe he can help lead the Ravens back to the postseason and out of the cellar in the AFC.
9. Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders are 4-4 heading into Week 9, and they’ve been a fun team (for the most part) in 2026.
I hate to say this about any team, because you never really know how a season is going to go at the midway point. Heck, the Texans were 3-5 at this point last season, and wound up being one of the best teams in the league at the end of the year.
However…The Raiders have to go on the road to face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 9. The 49ers are also coming off their bye, and the Raiders might have the worst defense in the league.
With the way Kirk Cousins has played this season, you hate to douse the flame here. But things could go downhill for the Raiders anytime now.
