.After pair of weeks of the 2024 NFL season, there are several astonishing 2-0 staffs, which led to a significant overhaul in Colin Cowherd's most recent "Pack Pecking order" on Tuesday's episode of "The Herd". A couple brand-new add-ons made the list, including the New Orleans Saints and also Minnesota Vikings after extensive dismayed get the Dallas Cowboys and also San Francisco 49ers, specifically. Various other 2-0 teams, like the Houston Texans as well as Los Angeles Chargers, sprung right into Cowherd's top five after exceptional provings recently. [NFL uniforms: Who has the most effective search in each branch?] Look at the complete list below, along with Cowherd's ideas on each team and also possibilities coming from DraftKings Sportsbook.Herd Pecking Order Week 210. Cincinnati Bengals (0-2, Recently unranked) Super Dish probabilities: +1600 Cowherd's thoughts: "Their upcoming four opponents are 1-7. The Bengals are actually fine at 0-2. If you can easily go into Arrowhead against maybe the most effective protection in the game, arguably ... outplay the Chiefs and also increase their yards in the 4th, you are actually alright. Zac Taylor's groups don't prosper in September. Joe Lair does not do well. I'll say it once again: Regarding the moment Fruit Seasoning Lattes are on call at Starbucks ... that's when they are actually great. I like this team." 9. San Francisco 49ers (1-1, LW 2) Super Bowl odds: +600 Cowherd's ideas: "The Niners have actually the second-highest measured outburst in the league. They're battered offensively. That's why I put all of them back at nine. Listed below's what I truly think about: Brock Purdy's been sacked eight attend two video games, and also I don't take a look at the Vikings as possessing excellent elapsed rushers. They're attacked, and also they're certainly not defending Brock Purdy, but say thanks to God they still have an excellent deck without Deebo [Samuel] and Christian McCaffrey ... but they're certainly not the very same group." 8. Seat Seahawks (2-0, LW unranked) Super Bowl chances: +4500 Cowherd's thoughts: "I don't know what to perform along with the Seahawks. Geno Smith, to his credit, like Cook Mayfield, is actually participating in really effectively. Man's accomplishing 74% of his throws. Listed below's what I know: The last two drafts were actually outstanding ... and also I am actually observing this youthful defensive coach [Mike Macdonald], like a DeMeco Ryans, do really cool things. DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba are incredible, and also Tyler Lockett. I like their tools ... You can easily succeed a great deal of activities in this organization when your quarterback is a major man that is correct 74% of the moment." Round Up Pecking Order: Chargers, Saints take a jump: 49ers decrease in Full week 3 rankings 7. Tampa Bay Bay Buccaneers (2-0, LW 10) Super Bowl probabilities: +4500 Cowherd's thoughts: "I invest it. Cook's playing his butt off 8-2 over his last ten beginnings. He and Chris Godwin are actually entirely attaching. Now, the Denver video game today is actually sly. To go to Detroit ... they entered there all banged up and also injury-riddled and they succeeded. Thus, I purchase Tampa fl. I purchase Baker. He is actually playing with a lot of assurance. I've always assumed Todd Bowles was a good defensive instructor. I as if the trainer and also I as if the quarterback." 6. Minnesota Vikings (2-0, LW unranked) Super Bowl possibilities: +5000 Cowherd's thought and feelings: "I do not recognize how much time it is actually going to last. They lead the NFL along with 11 sacks. I do not believe that's going to last throughout the time. Yet, they are actually 9-0 under this scalp coach, Kevin O'Connell, when they match or even succeed the turn over battle. He is actually cleaned Sam Darnold substantially. That's what he does. He is actually the QB whisperer ... Darnold led a game-winning clinching travel without [Justin] Jefferson, [Jordan] Addison as well as T.J. Hockenson. I assume we might possess the very best young trainer in regulation football in Minnesota." 5. New Orleans Saints (2-0, LW unranked) Super Dish possibilities: +3500 Cowherd's thought and feelings: "I as if the Saints. Allow's certainly not go crazy. I need one more full week of the Saints. Derek Carr, I've reached give him credit report. Alvin Kamara ... is actually a creature, and also they are trusting [him] massive. They possess the highest hurrying percentage at 64% in the NFL by means of the initial two full weeks." 4. Buffalo Grass Costs (2-0, LW unranked) Super Bowl chances: +1200 Cowherd's thoughts:" [This is actually] the first time in 7, 8 years they possess a celebrity running back. They can easily run the regulation football right now 9-2 given that repulsive coordinator Joe Brady got there. Josh Allen has been really depending on offending coordinators to wash him up. This is a brand-new offense. The limited ends are great. [The] receivers do not have a superstar, but they possess depth. [Allen] is just one of pair of quarterbacks in the game ... without a turnover. Once again, he's really coordinator-dependent." 3. Los Angeles Chargers (2-0, LW 8) Super Bowl probabilities: +4000 Cowherd's thoughts: "I acquire the Chargers. Their deals with Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater were both highest-graded deals with in the entire game. ... J.K. Dobbins resembles [Ohio Condition] J.K. Dobbins. [Justin] Herbert, for the report, is actually 18-0 when his group makes it possible for lower than twenty points. He only needs to have a trainer." Move trainer Jim Harbaugh possesses his Chargers off to a 2-0 start, with a date against the Steelers in Week 3. 2. Houston Texans (2-0, LW 7) Super Dish possibilities: +1100 Cowherd's notions: "I get the Texans. I really did not also believe they participated in properly against Chicago. They're young, and also I may see all of them getting to the AFC Champion and creating a silly play as well as shedding to Kansas Urban area. C.J. Stroud is ridiculous. That youngster is the best effectively accurate fella, away from perhaps Shelter as well as Mahomes, in the game." 1. Kansas Area Chiefs (2-0, LW 1) Super Bowl chances: +450 Cowherd's ideas: "I carry out stress. I do not think they're great at address. They were actually not good on third down versus the Bengals. They've come to wash that up. It is hard to win a Super Bowl, even with Mahomes, if you don't adore the objectionable series and I don't. Yet, I believe their training, their construct, their defense, Chris Jones. ... Now, Travis Kelce, I do not worry too much concerning due to the fact that he was undetectable for areas in 2015, at that point ... gotten there when it mattered. Despite The Fact That Hollywood Brown is actually certainly not going to be actually back for some time, I think their tools feel like considerable upgrades to me."
