1. Ravens (13-3, last week No. 1): To rest or not to rest starters in Week 18? (It didn’t turn out well when they rested four years ago.)
2. 49ers (12-4, No. 3): Anyone who beats them in Santa Clara in January will have earned it.
3. Bills (10-6, No. 4): The third best team in the league still could miss the playoffs.
4. Cowboys (11-5, No. 7): Their path to the NFC Championship game could be clearer than it’s been in years.
5. Lions (11-5, No. 6): For a team that prides itself on biting kneecaps, the Lions got too cute with the No. 2 seed on the line.
6. Browns (11-5, No. 8): Destiny could finally be smiling on the Browns.
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 consideration.
10. Chiefs (10-6, No. 10): Their playoff experience will come in handy.
11. Texans (9-7, No. 13): They got C.J. 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.

16. Seahawks (8-8, No. 12): Seattle at Dallas would be a great wild-card game.

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 out of town.
20. Bengals (8-8, No. 14): Jake Browning, at the end of the day, was no Joe Burrow.
21. Bears (7-9, No. 22): Keep 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.
