Era 5 of the NFL season clear that information aren’t all the time an efficient indicator in figuring out the worth of groups across the league — a minimum of in Colin Cowherd’s perceptible.

Within the unedited version of “Herd Hierarchy,” Cowherd analyzed a couple of groups that he believes are higher than their information replicate, in addition to his lead 4 Tremendous Bowl contenders. 

Let’s get into it. 

10. Cincinnati Bengals (Extreme occasion: Unranked)

Total File: 2-3 | Extreme Era: Bengals gained 34-20 @ Arizona Cardinals 

Cowherd’s ideas: “Listen, this team the last four years has struggled in September and early October. Why? Because Joe Burrow has been hurt. And then he gets healthy, and they end up in Super Bowls and winning 10 of 11 games. You don’t want to face Cincinnati.” 

Up Nearest: Bengals vs. Seattle Seahawks (1:00 p.m. ET) 

9. Los Angeles Chargers (Extreme Era: Unranked) 

Total File: 2-2 | Extreme Era: Bye

Cowherd’s ideas: “I don’t love the coach. I’ll say this though: Between Herbert and their weapons, they are one of two teams to score 24-plus points in every game. They had the Miami Dolphins beat [in Week 1].”

Up Nearest: Chargers vs. Dallas Cowboys on Monday night time (8:15 p.m. ET) 

8. Detroit Lions (Extreme Era: 9) 

Total File: 4-1 | Extreme Era: Lions gained 42-24 vs Carolina Panthers 

Cowherd’s ideas: “Listen, they’re 12-3 over their last 15 games. [They have] a 4-1 record, [which is] their best start in like 12 years. There’s a lot to like about them. By the way, Jared Goff, someone who I have defended for years, leads the NFL in big plays this year with 23.”

Up Nearest: Lions @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports activities app)

7. Seattle Seahawks (Extreme Era: 8)

Total File: 3-1 | Extreme Era: Bye

Cowherd’s ideas: “Geno [Smith makes] fewer mistakes; only one giveaway on the NFL season for Seattle and [their] offense [averages] 29 a game. … Geno is completing 68% of his throws. He doesn’t make a lot of big mistakes and [head coach] Pete Carroll loves that.”

Up Nearest: Panthers @ Miami Dolphins (1:00 p.m. ET) 

6. Buffalo Expenses (Extreme Era: 2)

Total File: 4-1 | Extreme Era: Expenses misplaced 25-20 vs Jacksonville Jaguars 

Cowherd’s ideas: “I think they’re out of the Super Bowl hunt with [Matt] Milano and Tre‘Davious White out. They’re not the same defense [without them]. Those are their two great defensive players. … But, they still sack the quarterback, they still take the ball away, and they have Josh Allen.” 

Up Nearest: Expenses vs. Untouched York Giants (8:20 p.m. ET)

5. Jacksonville Jaguars (Extreme Era: Unranked)

Total File: 3-2 | Extreme Era: Jaguars gained 25-20 vs Buffalo Expenses

Cowherd’s ideas: “Here’s the thing about them: [The] offense [is] top 10 [and] would be higher except for all the drops in the first three weeks. Their defense [has] 11 takeaways, [which is] the second-most in the NFL. … I think Jacksonville is gonna now start racing and peeling off Ws.” 

Up Nearest: Jaguars vs. Indianapolis Colts (1:00 p.m. ET) 

4. Miami Dolphins (Extreme Era: 4)

Total File: 4-1 | Extreme Era: Dolphins gained 31-16 vs Untouched York Giants 

Cowherd’s ideas: “They have the No. 1 offense, the three fastest players, three games with over 500 yards, [while] the rest of the NFL has zero combined. Tyreek Hill [is] just one of many guys who you can’t catch. I think they’re clever [and] I think they’re a little ahead of the league offensively, [but] I do worry about their defense.”

Up Nearest: Dolphins vs. Carolina Panthers (1:00 p.m. ET) 

3. Philadelphia Eagles (Extreme Era: 5)

Total File: 5-0 | Extreme Era: Eagles gained 23-14 vs Los Angeles Rams 

Cowherd’s ideas: “Listen, four straight games with 400-plus yards. [However], I still think they’re trying to find their identity. And, Jalen Hurts [has] four picks [in the] last four games. … [The] Rams [game] was a great example. They completely dominated [them], but couldn’t put it away until midway through the fourth when they were clearly the superior team.” 

Up Nearest: Eagles vs. Untouched York Jets (4:25 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports activities app) 

2. Kansas Town Chiefs (Extreme Era: 3)

Total File: 4-1 | Extreme Era: Chiefs gained 27-20 vs Minnesota Vikings

Cowherd’s ideas: “[They are] 4-0 since Travis [Kelce] and Chris Jones returned. [They have] the best third-down offense in the sport, [thanks to head coach] Andy Reid and [Patrick] Mahomes, [and they have] the most talented defense in terms of speed and expense.”

Up Nearest: Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos on Thursday night time (8:15 p.m. ET) 

1. San Francisco 49ers (Extreme Era: 1)

Total File: 5-0 | Extreme Era: 49ers gained vs Dallas Cowboys 42-10

Cowherd’s ideas: “I mean, San Francisco just looks different [from] everybody in football. … They don’t beat you, they punish you. They don’t beat you, they humiliate you. And, they have a chip on their shoulder from last year.”

Up Nearest: 49ers @ Cleveland Browns (1:00 p.m. ET on FOX and FOX Sports activities app)
