1.  Denver Broncos (5-1) (1) – Manning the great.

2.  Indianapolis Colts (5-2) (4) – The #1 offense in the NFL.

3.  New England Patriots (5-2) (6) – I think the loss of Jerrod Mayo means they’re in trouble, maybe not against the likes of the Jets, but against the top AFC teams.

4.  Arizona Cardinals (5-1) (7) – This is the team everyone forgot about.  Guess what, Carson Palmer’s healthy, and they’re putting distance between themselves and second place.

5.  Green Bay Packers (5-2) (8) – Only Dallas and the Colts are on hotter streaks.

6.  San Diego Chargers (5-2) (2) – Caught looking (ahead)?

7.  Baltimore Ravens (5-2) (T-9) – They lead the NFL in point differential.

8.  Dallas Cowboys (6-1) (T-11) – Winter is coming.

9.  San Francisco 49ers (4-3) (3) – WHY IS RAY MCDONALD STILL PLAYING?!

10.  Seattle Seahawks (3-3) (5) – Don’t worry, Percy Harvin is gone.

11.  Philadelphia Eagles (5-1) (T-11) – Thanksgiving showdown with the Cowboys shaping up to be something special.

12.  Cincinnati Bengals (3-2-1) (T-9) – Well, I guess if you can’t run, pass or play defense then that’s “balanced.”

13.  Detroit Lions (5-2) (T-14) – Had no business winning that one.

14.  New Orleans Saints (2-4) (13) – Had no business losing that one.

15.  Carolina Panthers (3-3-1) (T-14) – Winners of just one of their last five…good enough for first place in the woeful NFC South.

16.  Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) (20) – Temporary reprieve?

T-17.  Buffalo Bills (4-3) (21) – Still need to show consistency.

T-17.  Kansas City Chiefs (3-3) (23) – Everyone has them ranked too low, including me.

19.  New York Giants (3-4) (17) – Opportunity lost.

20.  Miami Dolphins (3-3) (22) – Their defense, quietly, has something going.

T-21.  Chicago Bears (3-4) (16) – Now they’ve done it, they’ve pissed off Brandon Marshall.

T-21.  Cleveland Browns (3-3) (18) – That loss to the Jaguars has EVERYONE looking for Manziel.

23.  Houston Texans (3-4) (19) – Still a puzzler why they didn’t bother to address the quarterback position.

24.  Atlanta Falcons (2-5) (24) – And now the injury bug is back.  This team is cursed.

25.  Minnesota Vikings (2-5) (25) – Everything but the win:  literally.

T-26.  St. Louis Rams (2-4) (28) – Jeff Fisher, you mangy dog, you.

T-26.  Washington RacialSlurs (2-5) (27) – The Colt McCoy era begins (he laughs hysterically).

28.  New York Jets (1-6) (26) – Don’t worry, Percy Harvin is here.

29.  Tennessee Titans (2-5) (29) – Is Jake Locker honestly that good, or are the backups just THAT bad?

30.  Jacksonville Jaguars (1-6) (32) – Bortles FTW.

31.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5) (30) – No team more badly misjudged it’s own chances than this one.

32.  Oakland Raiders (0-6) (31) – Alone at the bottom.
