The Lions are not the best team in their division?

Hello ladies and gentlemen, it is a Power Rankings Tuesday. This is the day of the week when the Power Rankings around the league come out. This is Lions 360, my name's Paul. Detroit Lions fan in the UK. So, let's look at where we have got the... People have got the Lions posted in the league after a win. And, Lions 2 and 1. Most rankings have got them high in the league. So, let's start off with Sports Illustrated.
Last week they were third, now got them at fourth. The Athletic had them last week at sixth, got them up to third. CBS Sports has got them as low as tenth.
Yahoo Sports has got them as high as third last week at fifth. ESPN has got them at fifth. Bleacher Report has got them at fourth. USA Today has got them at fourth, previously at fifth. Okay, now on the official NFL website, their power rankings, they every week rank the entire league.
It's quite a fun thing because every week
My nerdyism, this is my nerdy moment, this is my nerdy moment, is to check in with what the pundits think about how the Lions are. And it's not a big thing at all. It's not like an important thing because how you go from week to week counts and who they say they are and all that kind of thing. But I like to dream that the Lions can push for a Super Bowl place.
at the end of this season. Okay, so I'm going use the NFL power rankings to talk about where the lines are in terms of the division at the moment. So as I said in the intro, have the Vikings at third place. They've bumped them up 12 places this week from 15th to third. So they're counting the Vikings currently as the third best team in the league.
with the Lions one game back in fourth place, with the Packers a few more places back in seventh place. Now, the Packers have been doing a really good job. They've been out without their starting QB Jordan Love. They've been playing their backup Malik Willis, but they've managed to get two wins out of it. And so they are performing well.
without their number one QB. They have been performing well. So the NFL website, NFL .com has got three of the top seven spots going to the NFC North, which would make the NFC North the top division in the NFL really in terms of strength. Packers are good, strong. The Vikings are strong. We play the Vikings in about three weeks time in our first divisional game.
And the other team, trivia question, do you know who the other NFC North team is? It's the Chicago Bears with their rookie QB Caleb Willis. And a lot of pundits had the Bears potentially being in a good spot. But they currently have the Chicago Bears all the way down in...
I can't find them. I'm scrolling through. 24th place. So, according to NFL .com, we don't have to worry about the Bears. Sorry to my longtime buddy, Stuie Muir. But this may not be the Bears' year. Again, Jay Cuttee is still his buddy. So there we go. That's just going around the power rankings. Hope you're having a good time. I think we're done here.
