After two weeks of the 2024 NFL season, there are several surprising 2-0 teams, which caused a major shakeup as FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd revealed his latest Herd Heirarchy on Tuesday’s episode of “The Herd”.
Several new additions made the list including the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings after massive upsets against the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, respectively. Other 2-0 squads, like the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers, vaulted into Cowherd’s top five after impressive showings last week.

Check out the full list below, along with Cowherd’s thoughts on each squad and odds from DraftKings Sportsbook.
Herd Hierarchy Week 2
10. Cincinnati Bengals (0-2, Last week unranked)
Super Bowl odds: +1600
Cowherd’s thoughts: “Their next four opponents are 1-7. The Bengals are fine at 0-2. If you can go into Arrowhead against maybe the best defense in the league, arguably … outplay the Chiefs and double their yards in the fourth – you’re fine.

Super Bowl odds: +600
Cowherd’s thoughts: The Niners have the second-highest rated offense in the league. They’re beat up offensively. That’s why I put them back at nine. Here’s what I really worry about: Brock Purdy’s been sacked eight times in two games, and I don’t look at the Vikings as having very good pass rushers. They’re beat up, and they’re not protecting Brock Purdy, but thank God they still have a very good deck without Deebo [Samuel] and Christian McCaffrey … but they’re not the same team.”
8. Seattle Seahawks (2-0, LW unranked)
Super Bowl odds: +4500
Cowherd’s thoughts: “I don’t know what to do with the Seahawks. Geno Smith, to his credit, like Baker Mayfield, is playing really well. Dude’s completing 74%…
