Herd Hierarchy: Chiefs stay No. 1; Cowboys, Chargers climb ahead of Week 2

After Week 1 of the NFL season, FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd is convinced there are only “two great teams” in the league, while the rest have some … flaws to work through.

On Tuesday’s episode of “The Herd,” Cowherd revealed his latest Herd Hierarchy, giving his breakdown of the top 10 teams in the league ahead of Week 2.

Check out the full list below, along with Cowherd’s thoughts on each squad and odds from DraftKings Sportsbook.

10. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Super Bowl odds: +7000

Cowherd’s thoughts: “Baker Mayfield was fantastic. Tampa scored on seven of eight drives. Baker was 24-of-30 and totally comfortable. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin [were] 13 of 14 … 114 yards when targeted. I don’t think Tampa’s a good team, but Baker looked like the MVP of the league.” 

9. Miami Dolphins
Super Bowl odds: +2000

Cowherd’s thoughts: “They were in big trouble for a while, but I know what Miami is. And, what they are on a very distracted day, because of that unfortunate Tyreek Hill situation … they outscored the Jaguars when it mattered, 13-nothing in the second half. The only team in the league to have multiple 100-yard receivers. They’re not an even team. It’s all about the brain of [Mike] McDaniel, the speed on the outside and Tua Tagovailoa. But, right now in the NFL, that’s a top-10 team.”

8. Los Angeles Chargers
Super Bowl odds: +4500

Cowherd’s thoughts: “They have an identity. More rushing yards than passing yards. Physical play. I thought Joe Alt, for a rookie, was unbelievable. Did not allow a single pressure. Eleven snaps against Maxx Crosby. So they are A at tackle, at rush end, quarterback and coach. They have an identity. Ninety percent of this league [Tuesday] morning doesn’t have an identity.”

7. Houston Texans
Super Bowl odds: +1300

Cowherd’s thoughts: “They’re still young, and that was a tough road game. But they didn’t have any turnovers. C.J. Stroud played clean. They had 417 total yards. If they go home and hammer the Bears, I think I may move the Texans to No….
