1. New England Patriots (1)- Still dominant. They have a big test in Dallas this weekend.
2. Indianapolis Colts (2)- Without five starters they still beat Tampa Bay 33-14. As long as they have Peyton, they will win a lot.
3. Dallas Cowboys (3)- Hmmm...that was ugly and beautiful at the same time. Romo got a reality check. They need to step it up at home against New England.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (5)- The Steelers showed the AFC's superiority in their 21-0 shutout of Seattle.
5. Seattle Seahawks (4)- Still one of the best teams in the NFC.
6. Jacksonville Jaguars (8)- They're progressing fine on the offensive side of the ball and the defense is still great. They should get a nice division win over Houston this week.
7. Green Bay Packers (6)- Not having a running game caught up with them against the Bears. You have to be able to sit on a 10 point lead.
8. San Diego Chargers (16)- They finally looked like last year's team. Nice and much needed 41-3 victory over Denver.
9. Tennessee Titans (9)- Definitely their worst game of the season against Atlanta, but Vince is a winner.
10. Washington Redskins (12)- Big test against Green Bay this weekend. I think they can pull it off.
11. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (7)- Even though they took a beating, they're still a pretty good team. Still need to find stability in the backfield.
12. Houston Texans (10)- Kris Brown for MVP!!!
13. Philadelphia Eagles (13)- Just had a much needed bye week. Good chance to heal up, regroup and prepare for the Jets.
14. New York Giants (14)- Nice victory over the Jets. Offense looks good. Defense looks good. We'll see if they can keep it up in Monday Night showdown in Atlanta.
15. Carolina Panthers (15)- Vinny Testaverde to the rescue!
16. Chicago Bears (21)- Huge victory at Green Bay. Still have some offensive issues.
17. Arizona Cardinals (18)- Leinart is gone for the season. Kurt Warner will set in. This should be interesting.
18. Detroit Lions (11)- I'm speechless.
19. Denver Broncos (17)- Way too many offensive issues to win consistently. Maybe this bye week will help.
20. Cincinnati Bengals (20)- They couldn't be more excited to play a banged up Damon Huard and LJ.
21. Baltimore Ravens (19)- Horrendous offense. Declining defense. Please bench McNair.
22. New York Jets (22)- K - E - L - L - E - N. KELLEN KELLEN KELLEN!
23. Oakland Raiders (24)- I think they can compete against San Diego and yes, they are first in the AFC West.
24. Cleveland Browns (25)- This team isn't that bad. They should beat Miami and improve to .500.
25. Minnesota Vikings (26)- They need a couple years and a couple wide receivers.
26. San Francisco 49ers (29)- Too many offensive woes.
27. Atlanta Falcons (27)- Joey or Byron? Please decide, this isn't college.
28. Kansas City Chiefs (28)- They're just flat out terrible.
29. Buffalo Bills (30)- I know they almost beat Dallas, but their offense only scored three points.
30. New Orleans Saints (23)- They have to win eventually...
31. Miami Dolphins (31)- They have to win eventually...
32. St. Louis Rams (32)- They have to win eventually...don't they?
