New Orleans plays one of the greatest single games in DVOA history, jumping up six spots to reign as our new No. 1 team. Plus, a look at how some teams have changed from the first few weeks of the season to the last few weeks.

Of course, the most important game of the week is New Orleans at Tampa Bay on Sunday night, but this week's podcast also talks about Baltimore-Indianapolis, Las Vegas-Los Angeles Chargers, and Arizona-Miami. (Click for audio link.)

Tampa Bay remains No. 1, while the Rams and 49ers drop after big losses and the Miami Dolphins climb into the top 10.

Our friends at Sports Info Solutions have an article that takes Bill James' "Starting Pitcher Rankings" and translates them to quarterbacks.

This week goes deep into the best games of Week 8, from big rivalries like Pittsburgh-Baltimore and San Francisco-Seattle to important games for making the playoffs like Chicago-New Orleans and Las Vegas-Cleveland. Plus, a scouting report on Minnesota WR Rashod Bateman.

Let's go inside the DVOA stats for the No. 1 team of 2020, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Where things are distinctly better than last year, not just at the quarterback position but also in improvement by the running game and cornerback Carlton Davis.

Well, Carlos Dunlap can sell his house now. He may not even need Twitter. Cincinnati has traded him to Seattle for center B.J. Finney and a late-round pick. Dunlap is the all-time Bengals sack leader and fills a major need for the Seahawks.

Tampa Bay is still No. 1 and the entire NFC West moves into the top 11. Plus, a look at Seattle and other teams with a strong imbalance between offense and defense.

Well, this is disappointing. Tampa Bay is working to add Antonio Brown to their roster. His suspension is finally over after Week 8 and he would be able to play after that. Tom Brady befriended Brown during Brown's short time with the Patriots and is working to get him down to Tampa.
