Herd Hierarchy: Cowboys re-enter Top 10, Commanders rise

Week 6 of the NFL season was a “breakout week” for one of the league’s top teams, according to FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd.

While the 5-0 Kansas City Chiefs and 5-0 Minnesota Vikings continue to dominate hosting “The Herd”, surprise rivals like the Washington Commanders are headed toward the top side of Cowherd’s Top 10 list this week.

Old favorites like the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons have also officially entered — or re-entered — the conversation.

Check out the latest Cowherd rankings below!

Week 6 of Herd Hierarchy

10. Dallas Cowboys (3-2, Last week he was removed from the list)
Super Bowl Odds: +2200

Answer from Cowherd: “It might be my weakest No. 10 team … They’re 3-0 on the road. Pittsburgh gave them a game. But you know what? They did it without Micah. [Parsons] and DeMarcus Lawrence … I watched Kirk Cousins ​​Thursday night and Dak Prescott Sunday night. You can’t tell his feelings. Dak was not playing well. CeeDee Lamb disappeared. And, Dak finds a way to win. There are many things I don’t like. I don’t think they are close to a Super Bowl team, but they have a winning record. And I think Mike McCarthy and Dak get along. That was not the case with the Jets. That’s why they took the initiative to train.”

9. The Atlanta Falcons (3-2, LW not counted)
Super Bowl Odds: +3000

Answer from Cowherd: “I like this team. They have won three of the last four. The Chiefs have only lost. All three came with Kirk Cousins ​​​​to win the game. I was just telling myself that he is playing well. I have no problem. [Michael] The penis is sitting on a bench. I like their O-line [and] their running game. Raheem Morris is an offensive line coach who I think grew up with Sean McVay. I love this group. I picked him to win the NFC South. I picked him to be the first player in the NFC and win 12 games. They are what I thought they were.”

8. Buffalo bills (3-2, LW 5)
Super Bowl Odds: +1100

Answer from Cowherd: “They lost to the Ravens and the Texans — after the Chiefs, those are probably the two best teams in the AFC. They lost to the right teams, but they were held under 300 yards, three of the last four games. I don’t want to hear about the excuse that you were missing a slot receiver from the Boise State won last night [with] over 400 yards, missing all kinds of people and doing JuJu Smith-Schuster [look like] Jerry Rice. I don’t want to hear about it. This group is incompatible. I don’t like their game management. They fought a little, but lost to good teams. “

7. Houston Texas (4-1, LW 9)
Super Bowl Odds: +1200

Answer from Cowherd: “The only loss this year came against the Vikings. So they’re 4-1. I think they’re old and young. They lead the NFL in penalties. I think they have the ability to beat themselves in one game. I think Joe Mixon is hurt CJ Stroud in the league I like to watch … Joe Mixon is underestimated.

6. The Green Bay Packers (3-2, LW 8)
Super Bowl Odds: +2200

Answer from Cowherd: “I might get the Packers a little lower at 6, which would be better. But after that bad pick-six game against the Rams, Jordan Love. [had a] Passer average 140. Defense leads NFL with 45 touchdowns. We like their tight end/wide receiver group. That [Tucker] Kraft kid is another thing. They also lead the NFL in takeaways. That’s unusual for the Packers. So they made big plays on both sides of the ball. Also, I think they are probably better than six. I get halves … I get quarters … instead of a full game.”

5. Washington Commanders (4-1, LW 7)
Super Bowl Odds: +3000

Answer from Cowherd: “I don’t think the Commanders are a joke. I said I thought they were going to make the playoffs. I think we said it with Jayden Daniels – he was going to be Lamar Jackson lite – I didn’t show up.” I think he’s going to be Lamar Jackson in September and October of his rookie year. I think he can train in rookie camp. ‘Let’s lower the expectations.’ No, they said, ‘this child’s magic is unbelievable.’ I love their front office. I like their coordinator and their coach.

4. The Detroit Lions (3-1, LW 6)
Super Bowl Odds: +1000

Answer from Cowherd: “The Lions right now are the same. They’re boring. They’re moving. They’re 3-1. The best offensive line in the sport, balanced, seven passes, six runs. Think they’ve got to rush the ball, in my opinion, that’s when Jameson Williams becomes an important deep threat at safety. your back now … they can run the ball and eat up the clock and go deep. [Aidan] Hutchinson has become a TJ Watt-level edge rusher. “

3. The Baltimore Ravens (3-2, LW 3)
Super Bowl odds: +750

Answer from Cowherd: “I love them. I love Lamar. Big push. I don’t think they’re built to beat the Chiefs. I think they’re built to beat everybody in the league, not to be called the Chiefs. A run-first offense. … I love Derrick Henry. I think the Cowboys should have caught him passing. Oh, I forgot, he doesn’t win in the playoffs. I’ll take Lamar Jackson’s side.

2. Minnesota Vikings (5-0, LW 2)
Super Bowl Odds: +1100

Answer from Cowherd: “I mean, listen, they beat good teams. The last four wins are the Niners, the Texans, the Packers and the Jets. They lead the NFL in scoring. Their rushing defense is amazing. Some of the reasons the Jets don’t run, they couldn’t run this Brian Flores – I know he has a case with the NFL – that dude can coach in the league.”

1. Kansas City Chiefs (5-0, LW 1)
Super Bowl odds: +450

Answer from Cowherd: “Actually, last night on Monday Night Football, they were showing off. They did the Warriors and KD [Kevin Durant] and Steph [Curry] and Klay [Thompson] and Draymond [Green]. They kept mocking and showing off. JuJu Smith-Schuster’s career is over. Oh, wait. Kareem Hunt is out of the league. The job is over. Oh, wait. Everyone else has conditions. I don’t want to hear about Joe Burrow’s defense and Josh Allen losing a receiver. I don’t want to hear about it. I don’t want to hear about Lamar having three new offensive players. Isiah Pacheco is gone. Rashee Rice is gone. They got the guys out on the beach and got 400 yards. Fluky interception. A kick that doesn’t exist. It doesn’t matter. They have separated. This was the breakup weekend. Kansas City is cut off from the world.”
