As the NFL season heads into Week 15, Colin Cowherd returned with another installment of “Herd Hierarchy.”
Now that we’re into December, Cowherd revealed one of the teams he thinks will make the AFC Championship Game. He also touched on which Cowboys star has finally won him over.
Let’s check out his latest top 10.
10. Detroit Lions (Last Week: 6)

Super Bowl odds: +2000
Overall record: 9-4 | Last Week: Lost 28-13 @ Bears
Cowherd’s thoughts: “They still have the No. 3 offense in the league. I like Jared Goff. I think their offensive line is excellent. They can run the football. I do not think they’re a great team, but they are 8-1 when they allow 28 or fewer.”
Up Next: Broncos @ Lions, 8:15 p.m. ET Saturday, NFL Network
9. Miami Dolphins (Last Week: 7)
Super Bowl odds: +800
Overall record: 9-4 | Last Week: Lost 28-27 vs. Titans
Cowherd’s thoughts: “They’re 8-0 when Tyreek Hill has over 100 yards. They’re the No. 1 offense, and they’re the No. 1 passing offense.”
Up Next: Jets @ Dolphins, 1 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS
8. Los Angeles Rams (Last Week: Unranked)
Super Bowl odds: +12000
Overall record: 6-7 | Last Week: Lost 37-31 @ Ravens
Cowherd’s thoughts: “I think the Rams are underrated. I think their offense is playing well. I think McVay is having one of his best seasons. I think it’s a really good offense. It would not shock me if they won a playoff game.”
Up Next: Commanders @ Rams, 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS
7. Cleveland Browns (Last Week: Unranked)
Super Bowl odds: +3200
Overall record: 8-5 | Last Week: Lost 31-27 vs. Jaguars
Cowherd’s thoughts: “Kevin Stefanski deserves credit. They’ve used four different quarterbacks. I can’t believe how good Joe Flacco is. They’re 3-1 against teams that currently lead their division. It’s a really good football team.”
Up Next: Bears @ Browns, 1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX and FOX Sports app
6. Philadelphia Eagles (Last Week: 3)
Super Bowl odds: +750
Overall record: 10-3 | Last Week: Lost 33-13 @ Cowboys
Cowherd’s thoughts: “This is a good football team that’s got some fatigue. Now they get a Monday night game — Seahawks — a bit of a break. I think they right the ship starting with Seattle next week.”
Up Next: Eagles @ Seahawks, 8:15 p.m. ET Monday, ABC
5. Buffalo Bills (Last Week: 9)
Super Bowl odds: +1800
Overall record: 7-6 | Last Week: Won 20-17 @ Chiefs
Cowherd’s thoughts: “They have arguably the best athlete in the world playing quarterback. I don’t like the fact that Gabe Davis didn’t have any catches. I don’t like the fact they don’t have a consistent run game. But Josh Allen leads the NFL in total yards. You’ve always got a chance with Josh Allen.”
Up Next: Cowboys @ Bills, 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX and FOX Sports app
4. Kansas City Chiefs (Last Week: 5)
Super Bowl odds: +650
Overall record: 8-5 | Last Week: Lost 20-17 vs. Bills
Cowherd’s thoughts: “They’re a toe offsides from beating Buffalo. They’re a bad call against Green Bay from potentially tying it up. They’ve got a very easy schedule going forward.”
Up Next: Chiefs @ Patriots, 1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX and FOX Sports app
3. Baltimore Ravens (Last Week: 4)
Super Bowl odds: +600
Overall record: 10-3 | Last Week: 37-31 vs. Rams
Cowherd’s thoughts: “There’s a lot to like about this team. I think Lamar Jackson has become a much better situational passer and much more patient than anybody wants to give him credit for. Their defense allows less than 18 points a game. I think Baltimore is a really good team and will end up in the AFC Championship.”
Up Next: Ravens @ Jaguars, 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday, NBC
2. Dallas Cowboys (Last Week: 2)
Super Bowl odds: +850
Overall record: 10-3 | Last Week: 33-13 vs. Eagles
Cowherd’s thoughts: “I think since the bye, they’ve been a different football team. I’ve always liked Dak, never loved him. This year, I love him.”
Up Next: Cowboys @ Bills, 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX and FOX Sports app
1. San Francisco 49ers (Last Week: 1)
Overall record: 10-3 | Last Week: Won 28-16 vs. Seahawks
Cowherd’s thoughts: “It is easily the best roster. There’s not a lot of criticism here. They just don’t lose games. They are hyper-efficient with play-makers everywhere. And when they’re healthy, cross your fingers, because blowouts ensue.”
Up Next: Niners @ Cardinals, 4:05 p.m. ET Sunday, CBS
