1. Ravens (13-3, last week No. 1): To rest or not to rest starter in Week 18? (When they rested four years ago, things didn't go well.)
2. 49ers (12-4, No. 3): Whoever beats them in Santa Clara in January will deserve it.
3. Bills (10-6, No. 4): The third-best team in the league could still miss the playoffs.
4. Cowboys (11-5, No. 7): Their path to the NFC championship game may be clearer than it has been in years.
5. Lions (11-5, No. 6): For a team that prides itself on biting kneecaps, the Lions got too sweet when the No. 2 seed was on the line.
6. Browns (11-5, No. 8): Fate might finally give the Browns a smile.
7. Eagles (11-5, No. 5): The sooner they realize it's not 2022, the better off they'll be.
8. Dolphins (11-5, No. 2): It was fun while it lasted.
9. Rams (9-7, No. 9): Sean McVay deserves coach of the year honors.
10. Chiefs (10-6, No. 10): Their playoff experience will come in handy.
11. Texans (9-7, No. 13): They brought CJ Stroud back when they needed him most.
12. Jaguars (9-7, No. 15): They need Trevor Lawrence back this weekend.
13. Colts (9-7, No. 16): It's amazing they've gotten this far.
14. Steelers (9-7, No. 17): Kenny Pickett was cautiously benched.
15. Packers (8-8, No. 19): So good so far for Jordan Love.
16. Seahawks (8-8, No. 12): Seattle vs. Dallas would be a great wild-card game.
17. Saints (8-8, No. 24): The Saints continue to be good enough to narrowly miss the playoffs.
18. Buccaneers (8-8, No. 11): They picked a bad time to lose their mojo.
19. Broncos (8-8, No. 18): Let's ride. . . right outside of town.
20. Bengals (8-8, No. 14): Jake Browning was no Joe Burrow at the end of the day.
21. Bears (7-9, No. 22): Retain Justin Fields. Trade the top pick. Add more pieces.
22. Falcons (7-9, No. 20): What will Arthur Blank do after the season ends?
23. Raiders (7-9, No. 21): Russell Wilson would look good in silver and black.
24. Vikings (7-9, No. 23): Prime Time Kirk should have kept his shirt on.
25. Jets (6-10, No. 25): They get a chance to spoil what could be Bill Belichick's final game in New England.
26. Cardinals (4-12, No. 30): They could be contenders next year.
27. Patriots (4-12, No. 26): They still have a long way to go to compete again.
28. Titans (5-11, No. 27): Will Mike Vrabel ask for a ticket to Foxborough?
29. Giants (5-11, No. 28): The Giants were often good but boring. They're not good right now, but they're fun.
30. Chargers (5-11, No. 29): Starting guard Jim Harbaugh.
31. Commanders (4-12, No. 31): The clock is ticking toward seismic changes.
32. Panthers (2-14, No. 32): What have Panthers fans done to deserve David Tepper?
