1.) Green Bay Packers (10-0) — The Packers continue to pull out wins week in and week out. The Giants, who have great experience ruining winning streaks, are coming up on their schedule so I do not expect their streak to last much longer.
2.) San Francisco 49ers (9-1) — It’s time for a sibling rivalry on Thanksgiving. Expect the Niners and Ravens game to be the best game on Turkey Day.
3.) New Orleans Saints (7-3) — The Saints enjoyed a bye last week and look to continue their winning ways this week against the Giants.
4.) Pittsburgh Steelers (7-3) — The Steelers also received a much-needed break, especially for Big Ben’s hurt thumb.
5.) Baltimore Ravens (7-3) — This team has really gone under the radar, but look for that to end once they beat the 49ers on Thursday.
6.) New England Patriots (7-3) — I am still not completely sold on the Pats being an elite team yet, but they have looked a lot better in the last two games.
7.) New York Giants (6-4) — The Giants lost an embarrassing one against the Vince Young led Eagles, but the addition of Ahmad Bradshaw will really help them out. The only problem is they have the Saints and Packers the next two weeks.
8.) Chicago Bears (7-3) — Losing Cutler for any amount of time will hurt them, but not as much as people think. I like Hanie to still lead them to the playoffs.
9.) Dallas Cowboys (6-4) — The Cowboys barely pulled out a win in overtime against the 3-7 Redskins. This team has the skill, but I do not trust them down the stretch.
10.) Detroit Lions (7-3) — The Lions have a rough schedule left, as they meet with the Packers twice before the season ends. They will have to improve if they want to snatch a wild card slot.
11.) Atlanta Falcons (6-4) — The Falcons have a pretty easy schedule left so look for them to gain some ground in the NFC.
12.) New York Jets (5-5) — I know, I know. They lost to the Broncos, but I still like this team to turn it around like they do every year. I expect to see them in the playoffs.
13.) Cincinnati Bengals (6-4) — The Bengals still have one more game against the Steelers and Ravens each so I would be shocked if they end up making the playoffs, but they have been giving the two powerhouses a run for their money.
14.) Houston Texans (7-3) — It all comes down to what Leinart can do.
15.) Oakland Raiders (6-4) — I like the way the Raiders have been playing lately and when D-Mac comes back that two headed monster of him and Bush will be something to fear.
16.) Buffalo Bills (5-5) —The Bills look like a completely different team than the one at the beginning of the season. It’s almost sad to watch.
17.) Denver Broncos (5-5) — TE-BOW! TE-BOW! TE-BOW!
18.) Tennessee Titans (5-5) — The Titans are a model of inconsistency. They have a matchup against the Bucs this week, who looked very good last weekend against the Packers.
19.) Philadelphia Eagles (4-6) — How does your quarterback throw 3 interceptions and you still win the game. The answer is luck. I hope that the Eagles are not considering sitting Vick for Young because that would be absolutely nuts.
20.) San Diego Chargers (4-6) — Unless they go on an unreal winning streak the Chargers look like they are done.
21.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-6) — The Bucs impressed me with their play against the Packers, but when I am talking like that about a loss, it kind of summarizes where this team is at right now.
22.) Seattle Seahawks (4-6)— The Seahawks pounce again! If your favorite team is playing the Seahawks watch out because they have the capability of beating anyone in this league, despite their poor record.
23.) Kansas City Chiefs (4-6) — The Chiefs looked horrible on Monday night against the Pats. Without Matt Cassel for the rest of the season, that should continue.
24.) Miami Dolphins (3-7) — Like the Seahawks, the Dolphins have been taking a lot of joy in ruining contending team’s seasons. Andrew Luck who? They have Matt Moore.
25.) Cleveland Browns (4-6) — The Browns continue to rely on their defense to win, but without a decent offense, they continue to remain insignificant
26.) Arizona Cardinals (3-7) — The Cardinals suffered an expected loss against the Niners last week and look to enjoy a win against the lesser Rams this upcoming weekend.
27.) Washington Redskins (3-7) — The Skins put up a good effort against the Cowboys, but like the last decade in D.C, it was not good enough.
28.) Jacksonville Jaguars (3-7) — When you lose to the Browns you really have to evaluate your team. The Jags have a lot to work on if they want to be relevant again.
29.) Carolina Panthers (2-8) — Cam is finally looking like a freshman in the league, but it was bound to happen sooner or later.
30.) Minnesota Vikings (2-8) — The A.P. injury is going to hurt this team, but at this point, does it really matter?
31.) St. Louis Rams (2-8) — The Rams are looking forward to getting some of their injured players back because quite frankly, this season has been embarrassing.
32.) Indianapolis Colts (0-10) Well, the colts have learned one thing from this season. Curtis Painter is not the future for the Indianapolis Colts.
