Here are updated NFL Ratings. AFC has the 6 best teams and looks to be a lock to win the Super Bowl. Carolina and Buffalo have been awful. Carolina has the worst offense (10.5 points worse than average). The Patriots have the best offense while the Steelers and Ravens have the top defenses. The Lions are the most underrated team while the Saints are nowhere as good as last year.
