NFL’s Top 5 Teams After Week 3 According to Rob Parker (Full Analysis in Audio at Bottom of Page)
Rob Parker: “They had a bad loss to New Orleans at home that made me question where this team was going but they’re headed towards the top of the league now.”
Chris Broussard: “I think there is an argument to be made that they should be higher.”
Parker: “They continue to win and do what they have to do, but they’ve really only played one good team and have only played weak stuff the rest of the way. Who you beat matters in the Parker Power Rankings!”
Broussard: “This is embarrassing and you’re taking away the credibility of your power rankings!”
3. New Orleans Saints (5-1)
Parker: “Drew Brees who?? They’re now 4-0 since Brees underwent the thumb surgery. Teddy Bridgewater has really come on and now they’re winning with their offense AND their defense.”
Broussard: “They’re tough, no doubt.”
Parker: “Incredible. They go and beat the Rams in Los Angeles and are now 5-0. The Rams could have turned their season around and put it on the 49ers but they passed that test.”
1. Green Bay Packers (5-1)
Parker: “The Packers were down 13-0, losing their players all over the field, and had everything going the other way but they found a way to win and are STILL my number one team."
Broussard: “Why didn’t you say their full name? It’s the ‘Green Bay Packers and Referees!’”
