(Won-Loss Record and Last Week’s Ranking in parentheses)
1. Denver Broncos (5-0) (1) – Notice to League: 48 points ain’t enough.

3. Seattle Seahawks (4-1) (2) – Let’s face it – they were due to lose one of these tough road games.

26. Minnesota Vikings (1-3) (25) – Can they make a run with Matt Cassel?
27. Carolina Panthers (1-3) (24) – Still boasting a top 10 defense, but they don’t seem to know how to win.

31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4) (31) – I’m betting Mike Glennon gets his first career win this week.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-5) (32) – If they cover 28 points vs. Denver and only lose by 3 touchdowns plus, will that be considered a moral victory?
