Broncos
7-1
The defense is a liability and the OL is getting thin, but Manning and the offense is so potent.

Saints
6-1
I like this Saints team and feel they are the team to beat in the NFC.
2

Chiefs
8-0
The first time in NFL history the team with the worst record the prior year starts 8-0.
4

Packers
5-2
The WRs keep getting hurt and Rodgers keeps putting up numbers – and Matthews will be back soon.

Seahawks
7-1
Championship teams don’t put up 135 offensive yards. This team is mediocre at best away from Seattle.

6
49ers
6-2
A beat down of the hapless Jaguars means nothing, so the 49ers stay put.
6
7
Bengals
6-2
The Bengals just scored on the Jets again. Despite an impressive blowout, 7 still seems about right for this team.
7

Colts
5-2
A week of rest keeps the Colts put at 8.

Lions
5-3
Calvin Johnson is good.
9

Patriots
6-2
Brady is not right. 116 yards?
10
11
Panthers
4-3
The Panthers are over .500 for the first time since 2008 – and Cam for the first time in his career.
11
12
Cardinals
4-4
The Cardinals have weapons on offensive and a worthy defense. 3 of the 4 losses are to Sea, NO, SF (combined 19-4).
16
13
Chargers
4-3
A bye week and some sucking by the teams ahead of them sees the Chargers move up 1.
14
14
Cowboys
4-4
No team can grasp defeat from the jaws of victory like the Cowboys.
11
15
Bears
4-3
The Bears look to just tread water until Cutler returns.
15
16
Titans
3-4
Not quite a playoff team, but close enough to beat some playoff teams.
17
17
Ravens
3-4
7 games into the Super Bowl defending season, the Ravens find themselves 2.5 games back already.
13
18
Dolphins
3-4
After a 3-0 start, the Dolphins have crashed back down to earth and now have a center wrapped up in the Hernandez mess.
19
19
Rams
3-5
An impressive showing on MNF gets the Rams a big jump. The defense looked good.
28
20
Bills
3-5
Without their starting QB and starting RB, the Bills are still competitive.
20
21
Raiders
3-4
Pryor is winning, but 279 yards of offense and 93 came on 1 play does not look like success.
25
22
Jets
4-4
The Jets were exposed by the Bengals as the fraud I thought they were, but 40 points? They move up because of so many terrible teams.
26
23
Browns
3-5
Played the Chiefs tough, but the QB situation is a mess and there is speculation they may be shopping Gordon.
26
24
Giants
2-6
Amazing to think a team is just 2 games out of first … welcome to the NFC East.
29
25
Redskins
2-5
RG3 may not be 100%, but the Redskins greatly overplayed in 2012. This is a 5-11 or 6-10 team.
21
26
Texans
2-5
Casey Keenum is the new starting QB – wow this team has fallen.
27
27
Steelers
2-5
They have gotten old and untalented very quickly.
23
28
Falcons
2-5
Amazing to think this team may be done 8 games into the season.
22
29
Eagles
3-4
Bad defense + Bad offense + 2 injured QBs = bad team.
18
30
Vikings
1-6
At least they showed some life and ability to move the ball this week.
30
31
Buccaneers
0-7
Schiano was 1 game over .500 at Rutgers. He is 9 games under .500 in the NFL.
31
32
Jaguars
0-8
After 8 “Unofficial” byes, the Jaguars have their “Official” by this week. The people of Jacksonville rejoice.
