Just for context, the little number in parenthesis next to each team is how many points better or worse they are compared to an average NFL team. Whereas I have the Chiefs and Bucs as the two-best teams, with the highest positive number, I estimate the Lions and Texans to be the two-worst, with the highest negative number.
