DAL - mirage, because Cowboys. Until they actually do something I aint buying. Great defensive front though.

NYG - mirage, because Danny Dimes. They have many of the pieces to be a pretty good team, but Danny is a waste of space.

SEA - For real, though Geno isn't the second coming of Joe Montana. He's better than I thought he was, but still not a top-10 QB

MIN - mirage, until they can come out of NOV-DEC with a winning record

BUF - for real. Best team in the AFC, probably the NFL untl proven otherwise, and dropping a game to the NYJ aint it. See KC dropping one to IND for reference.

NYJ - mirage, but best NYJ team in maybe a decade or more. Trending in the right direction, but still not actually a good team

MIA - good team. Tons of weapons, a good defense that could get better as the season progresses. Tua is the weakest link for now

KC - for real, but a lot of moving parts still. Defense is still gelling, but trending positively, and offense is developing as well.

BAL - mirage. Lamar is basically a finished product at this point, still not that dangerous as a passer. Defense isn't that good and running game is very average without Lamar padding the stats on the ground.

I would say if Seattle is for real we have to say Dallas is for real. Unless you are saying Dallas has fooled us too many times. I would need Geno to show me something in a big moment as well in that case.
