1.  Seattle Seahawks (2-1) (2) – People slightly overrate their defense, but they seriously underrate that offense.

2.  Denver Broncos (2-1) (1) – Regulation tie @Seattle?  They did enough.

3.  Arizona Cardinals (3-0) (4) – I think people don’t get it.  If you can win like that with Drew Stanton, it tells you how good the rest of the team really is.

4.  Cincinnati Bengals (3-0) (6) – Impossible to ignore how well this team is playing.

5.  New England Patriots (2-1) (3) – Winning ugly, but this is the most balanced Patriots team we’ve seen in a while.

6.  New Orleans Saints (1-2) (7) – They’ve had all the stumbles they can afford.

7.  San Francisco 49ers (1-2) (5) – They host 3-0 Philadelphia this week.  Could they drop to 1-3?

8.  Indianapolis Colts (1-2) (9) – In a similar boat as the Saints.

9.  San Diego Chargers (2-1) (11) – No reason this team won’t be 6-1 going into their week 8 matchup with the Broncos.

10. Carolina Panthers (2-1) (8) – Entering an impossible stretch of schedule – they could be underdogs in their next 8 in a row.

11. Atlanta Falcons (2-1) (12) – The Bucs are gonna see these guys in their nightmares.

T-12.  Chicago Bears (2-1) (12) – Facing the hump (Green Bay) they’ve yet to get over under Jay Cutler.

T-12.  Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) (14) – I’ll move them into the top 10 just as soon as they manage to stop ANYONE on defense.

14.  Green Bay Packers (1-2) (9) – Can’t drop another one.

T-15.  Baltimore Ravens (2-1) (15) – Can’t tell if this is a good team playing bad or a bad team playing good.

T-15.  Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) (16) – Hardly dominant, but won’t need to be the next two weeks.

17.  Detroit Lions (2-1) (20) – Winning through the mistakes.

T-18.  Buffalo Bills (2-1) (17) – Still haven’t proven they’re for real.

T-18.  Houston Texans (2-1) (18) – Neither have they.

20.  New York Giants (1-2) (22) – The turnaround begins?

21.  Dallas Cowboys (2-1) (24) – Living on borrowed time.

22.  Miami Dolphins (1-2) (19) – One impressive win; two very unimpressive losses.

23.  New York Jets (1-2) (21) – Geno or not Geno.  That is the question (that only New York Jet fans really care about).

24. Cleveland Browns (1-2) (23) – Three games within 3 points or less.

25. Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) (27) – Another team entering a scheduling murderers’ row.

26. Washington RacialSlurs (1-2) (24) – Don’t get too excited – they did that against the Eagles defense.  And they lost the game.

27.  Tennessee Titans (1-2) (26) – Very little to be excited about with this team.

28.  St. Louis Rams (1-2) (28) – If nothing else, Austin Davis probably got himself a roster spot somewhere for the next few years.

29.  Minnesota Vikings (1-2) (32) – Bridgewater plus that defense equals maybe able to stay in games.

30.  Oakland Raiders (0-3) (31) – The fact that two teams are worse is no reflection on how bad they are.

31.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-3) (30) – Just remember, it’s not THEIR fault if you picked them to have some great season because they have Josh McCown.  What were you thinking?

32.  Jacksonville Jaguars (0-3) (29) – No reason not to just start the Blake Bortles era now.  Give your fans a reason to watch.
