.After 2 full weeks of the 2024 NFL season, there are actually several shocking 2-0 staffs, which triggered a significant shakeup in Colin Cowherd's most recent "Herd Power structure" on Tuesday's episode of "The Herd". A couple brand-new add-ons created the listing, including the New Orleans Saints as well as Minnesota Vikings after large upset gain the Dallas Cowboys and also San Francisco 49ers, respectively. Other 2-0 squads, like the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers, risen in to Cowherd's top five after remarkable showings recently. [NFL uniforms: Who has the best look in each division?] Take a look at the full listed here, alongside Cowherd's thought and feelings on each team as well as possibilities from DraftKings Sportsbook.Herd Hierarchy Week 210. Cincinnati Bengals (0-2, Last week unranked) Super Dish probabilities: +1600 Cowherd's ideas: "Their following 4 enemies are 1-7. The Bengals are actually alright at 0-2. If you may enter into Arrowhead against perhaps the greatest protection in the league, arguably ... beat the Chiefs and double their backyards in the fourth, you are actually great. Zac Taylor's groups do not succeed in September. Joe Lair does not do well. I'll claim it once again: Concerning the moment Fruit Flavor Lattes are accessible at Starbucks ... that's when they're great. I like this team." 9. San Francisco 49ers (1-1, LW 2) Super Dish odds: +600 Cowherd's ideas: "The Niners have actually the second-highest rated offense in the league. They're battered offensively. That is actually why I placed all of them back at 9. Here's what I truly fret about: Brock Purdy's been actually sacked 8 attend 2 activities, as well as I do not examine the Vikings as having terrific pass rushes. They are actually beat up, and also they are actually not safeguarding Brock Purdy, but say thanks to God they still have an excellent deck without Deebo [Samuel] as well as Christian McCaffrey ... but they're certainly not the exact same staff." 8. Seattle Seahawks (2-0, LW unranked) Super Bowl probabilities: +4500 Cowherd's ideas: "I do not know what to do along with the Seahawks. Geno Johnson, to his debt, like Cook Mayfield, is playing definitely well. Dude's completing 74% of his tosses. Listed below's what I understand: The last two draughts were actually excellent ... and I'm finding this younger defensive coach [Mike Macdonald], like a DeMeco Ryans, do definitely cool things. DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba are actually enormous, and Tyler Lockett. I like their weapons ... You can win a lot of activities within this organization when your quarterback is actually a big man that is accurate 74% of the time." Round Up Power Structure: Chargers, Saints take a surge: 49ers drop in Week 3 ranks 7. Tampa Florida Bay Buccaneers (2-0, LW 10) Super Bowl possibilities: +4500 Cowherd's notions: "I buy into it. Cook's playing his buttocks off 8-2 over his final 10 begins. He and Chris Godwin are actually absolutely linking. Currently, the Denver game recently is actually tricky. To head to Detroit ... they went in there all banged up as well as injury-riddled as well as they won. So, I get Tampa. I acquire Cook. He is actually playing with a lot of assurance. I have actually regularly thought Todd Bowles was an excellent defensive instructor. I such as the instructor as well as I as if the quarterback." 6. Minnesota Vikings (2-0, LW unranked) Super Dish odds: +5000 Cowherd's ideas: "I do not know how much time it's mosting likely to last. They lead the NFL along with 11 sacks. I don't presume that's going to last over the course of the time. However, they are 9-0 under this scalp instructor, Kevin O'Connell, when they tie or even succeed the turnover battle. He's cleaned Sam Darnold considerably. That's what he carries out. He is the QB whisperer ... Darnold led a game-winning clinching ride without [Justin] Jefferson, [Jordan] Addison and T.J. Hockenson. I presume our experts may possess the best young trainer in regulation football in Minnesota." 5. New Orleans Saints (2-0, LW unranked) Super Dish probabilities: +3500 Cowherd's notions: "I such as the Saints. Permit's not freak out. I require another week of the Saints. Derek Carr, I've reached offer him debt. Alvin Kamara ... is actually a creature, as well as they are actually leaning on [him] heavy. They have the best hurrying percentage at 64% in the NFL via the initial pair of weeks." 4. Buffalo Grass Costs (2-0, LW unranked) Super Bowl probabilities: +1200 Cowherd's notions:" [This is actually] the first time in 7, 8 years they possess a star operating back. They may manage the regulation football currently 9-2 considering that objectionable planner Joe Brady got there. Josh Allen has actually been incredibly depending on annoying planners to cleanse him up. This is a brand-new outburst. The limited edges are excellent. [The] receivers don't possess a star, but they possess depth. [Allen] is one of pair of quarterbacks in the organization ... without a turn over. Once again, he's very coordinator-dependent." 3. Los Angeles Chargers (2-0, LW 8) Super Dish possibilities: +4000 Cowherd's ideas: "I get the Chargers. Their deals with Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater were both highest-graded handles in the entire game. ... J.K. Dobbins seems like [Ohio Condition] J.K. Dobbins. [Justin] Herbert, for the report, is 18-0 when his crew makes it possible for less than 20 factors. He only requires an instructor." Move coach Jim Harbaugh possesses his Chargers off to a 2-0 start, with a date versus the Steelers in Full week 3. 2. Houston Texans (2-0, LW 7) Super Dish probabilities: +1100 Cowherd's notions: "I purchase the Texans. I really did not also assume they played properly versus Chicago. They are actually young, and I can see all of them getting to the AFC Champion as well as making a ridiculous play and also losing to Kansas Metropolitan area. C.J. Stroud is actually ridiculous. That kid is the most effectively exact guy, beyond possibly Retreat and also Mahomes, in the game." 1. Kansas Metropolitan Area Chiefs (2-0, LW 1) Super Dish probabilities: +450 Cowherd's thoughts: "I perform worry. I do not presume they are actually excellent at take on. They were actually certainly not good on third down against the Bengals. They've reached wash that up. It is challenging to win a Super Bowl, despite Mahomes, if you don't really love the offensive product line as well as I don't. Yet, I believe their coaching, their construct, their defense, Chris Jones. ... Right Now, Travis Kelce, I do not worry way too much regarding since he was actually undetectable for areas in 2015, then ... arrived when it mattered. Despite The Fact That Hollywood Brown is certainly not heading to be back for a while, I believe their items seem like significant upgrades to me."
