Even the GOAT needed some help to round out his latest top 10, so much so that he called upon a coin to help him pick his 10th team. So, let’s take a look at who Brady has as his new No. 1, and which team between the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks was the lucky beneficiary of his coin flip.
Tom Brady’s Week 7 Power Rankings 🚨
Brady’s thoughts: “The Lions are No. 1 after dominating last week’s leader [the Buccaneers]. The celebrities have been out with the contributions from Amon-Ra St. Brown, [Jahmyr] Gibbs and [Jared] Goff. I can not wait to listen to that crowd on Thanksgiving.”
“The final two have been powerful. I’ve acquired Indy at No. 2, and I’ve acquired nothing unhealthy to say about this staff. A street win in LA was virtually sufficient to get them excessive. However I could not do it.
“Look, the Colts may deserve No. 1. The résumé is there. However I simply suppose the Lions win head-to-head. They’re energy rankings for a motive, no questions at the moment.”

“I like this LA Rams staff that is shifting as much as No. 3. No Puka Nacua, staying on the East Coast all week and working towards at Camden Yards? Does not matter. Matthew Stafford dominated [the Jaguars] in London to maintain issues rolling.”
“The Bucs keep within the prime 5 after a Monday evening loss to the Lions. Detroit might be the hardest staff to beat within the league proper now, so I count on Tampa to bounce again subsequent week. And speak about a warrior, I am pondering of my brother Mike Evans and wishing him a speedy restoration.”
“The Packers are available in at No. 5. They don’t seem to be incomes a ton of favor factors currently, however they went into Arizona and picked up one other win. And that is what issues round right here. If not for that weird loss at Cleveland, this staff might be sitting on the prime.”
