It’s almost the end of the NFL schedule.

Going into Week 16 of the NFL season, The Doug & Wolf Show selected their top five teams in the league — as they do every week. But one thing different this week was the absence of Doug Franz, the show’s co-host, so it was only Paul Calvisi and Ron Wolfley on Wednesday.

Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints were atop both Paul and Wolf’s respective lists, followed by the San Diego Chargers. But the differences began at No. 3, where the Kansas City Chiefs sat on Wolf’s list and the Chicago Bears — much to Wolf’s disapproval — sat on Paul’s list.

Here’s how the rest of the top five shaped up on this week’s Doug & Wolf Power Poll:

Paul:

5. Rams
4. Chiefs
3. Bears
2. Chargers
1. Saints

Wolf:

5. Patriots
4. Rams
3. Chiefs
2. Chargers
1. Saints
