(Won-Loss Record and Last Week’s Ranking in parentheses)

1.  Seattle Seahawks (10-1) (1) – Now they’re the only 1 loss team.

2.  New Orleans Saints (9-2) (3) – Oh, what a showdown.  They get Seattle this week.

3.  Denver Broncos (9-2) (2) – Still the best team in the AFC.

4.  Carolina Panthers (8-3) (4) – Just remember, they still play New Orleans twice.

5.  New England Patriots (8-3) (6) – Probably just locked up that first round bye.

6.  San Francisco 49ers (7-4) (8) – They see Carolina and Seattle ahead, but do they see Arizona in their rear-view?

7.  Kansas City Chiefs (9-2) (5) – Soon to be 9-3, and now they’ve been bitten by the injury bug.

8.  Arizona Cardinals (7-4) (11) – Playoffs just became a real possibility.

T-9.  Cincinnati Bengals (7-4) (9) – Must show they can win on the road.

T-9.  Indianapolis Colts (7-4) (7) – Yeah, that was ugly, but they’re still a team that wins the games they need to win.

11.  Dallas Cowboys (6-5) (13) – Still perfect in the division.

12.  Philadelphia Eagles (6-5) (13) – Despite improved play, defense is still the achilles heel.

13.  Detroit Lions (6-5) (12) – Can still lay claim to the North if they knock off the Packers on Thursday.

14.  Chicago Bears (6-5) (10) – Can’t stop the run.  It’s gonna kill them.

15.  Green Bay Packers (5-5-1) (15) – Rodgers will play last four, but that will probably be too late.

16.  San Diego Chargers (5-6) (19) – Right back in it?

T-17.  Baltimore Ravens (5-6) (21) – This week, it’s really win or go home.

T-17.  Pittsburgh Steelers (5-6) (22) – They’re talking playoffs.  That’s probably not a good idea.

19.  Miami Dolphins (5-6) (16) – Bottom line:  they’re 2-6 in their last 8.

20.  New York Jets (5-6) (18) – Can erase back to back nightmares by winning at home vs. Miami.

21.  Tennessee Titans (5-6) (24) – Alive for now, but I think the Colts smoke them this week.

22.  New York Giants (4-7) (17) – Better luck next year.

23.  St. Louis Rams (5-6) (26) – The official spoiler of the NFC playoff race.

24.  Cleveland Browns (4-7) (20) – How do you think Johnny Manziel will look in orange?

25.  Buffalo Bills (4-7) (25) – Finally hit the easy part of the schedule.

26.  Oakland Raiders (4-7) (23) – Matt McGloin was a walk-on at Penn State.  Now he’s a walk-on for the Raiders.  Could this guy actually be the real deal?

27.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-8) (28) – And all of a sudden they can’t lose.

28.  Minnesota Vikings (2-8-1) (29) – All they need is a passing game, a line and a defense to go with Adrian Peterson.  So basically, they need everything besides Adrian Peterson.

29.  Washington Redskins (3-8) (27) – I’ll say it again.  How does Mike Shanahan still have a job?

30.  Atlanta Falcons (2-9) (30) – They’ve got their eyes on Jadeveon Clowney (you’ll hear all about him once the pre-NFL Draft talk starts).

31.  Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9) (32) – Never in a million years did I think this team would not finish at the bottom but. . .

32.  Houston Texans (2-9) (31) – Who could have seen this shitstorm happening?  They don’t even have that many injuries!
