Sorry this is later than usual but I had written on a piece of paper since Monday and have just been too lazy to type it up on the 'ol computer. No changes at the top but some movement in the middle. As for the bottom (a.k.a, the powerless), who really cares? Most of them are eliminated from playoff contention and in my opinion, should all tank to guarantee themselves a chance at a Big 12 QB to resurrect their teams.
1. Tennessee (12-1) - Well, they've already won the division. That's gotta feel good considering they have the Colts and Steelers still to play. (Next @ HOU)
2. Pittsburgh (10-3) - Another game, another ugly win. Steelers fan have to be happy to see Mike Tomlin picked up where Bill Cowher left off. (Next @ BAL)
3. Indianapolis (9-4) - They were 3-4 and some left them for dead. But never sleep on Dungy, Manning and company. They'll burn you. (Next vs. DET)
4. Baltimore (9-4) - If you combined their defense with the Saints or Cardinals offense, think about how amazing that team would be. (Next vs. PIT)
5. Denver (8-5) - Well, Mike Shanahan is down to his 7th runningback of the season. And I bet he runs for 100 yards and scores 2 TD anyways. (Next @ CAR)
6. Miami (8-5) - So who do you credit for this turnaround? Tony Sparano? Bill Parcells? I say neither. How about Chad Pennington's steady play? (Next vs. SF)
7. New England (8-5) - Gutsy play by them to get a win on the road in Seattle. But they need a running game to be relevant in the playoffs. (Next @ OAK)
8. NY Jets (8-5) - Uh oh Jets fans. Two losses in a row. Is Brett losing his touch or is this team finally playing like we all thought they would? (Next vs. BUF)
9. Houston (6-7) - Kudos to Gary Kubiak and his staff for turning this team around in the second half. Looking ahead to 2009, they'll be in the mix. (Next vs. TEN)
10. San Diego (5-8) - It was fun to see their offense put up some points against OAK. But that 5-8 record still sticks out like a black guy at a Cher concert. (Next @ KC)
11. Buffalo (6-7) - They once were good. But now, they are bad. As if living in Buffalo, NY wasn't bad enough, the football team stinks too. (Next @ NYJ)
12. Jacksonville (4-9) - The trendy Super Bowl pick is the most disappointing team in the NFL. Maybe now Fred Taylor will retire. Just maybe. (Next vs. GB)
13. Kansas City (2-11) - Team somehow stays in games and scores points despite a real lack of talent. Herm should keep his job despite the record. (Next vs. SD)
14. Cleveland (4-9) - Props to Ken Dorsey for not embarrassing himself too badly against TEN. And good news, they are 2-0 on Monday Night! (Next Mon @ PHI)
15. Oakland (3-10) - JaMarcus Russell already wasn't playing to his potential and now, he's injured. Black eye for the Black Hole. (Next vs. NE)
16. Cincinnati (1-11-1) - Word is Carson Palmer wants to come back before the season ends. That's not a good idea if they want the 2nd pick. (Next vs. WAS)
1. NY Giants (11-2) - Considering the Burress fiasco and the Eagles' desperation, the loss to Philly isn't that big of a deal. Plus, Dallas lost. (Next @ DAL)
2. Carolina (10-3) - The tandem of De'Angelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart is going to be a deadly ground game for years to come. (Next vs. DEN)
3. Tampa Bay (9-4) - The defense got humbled on Monday night. But no doubt, every NFC team knows that's not gonna happen again. (Next @ ATL)
4. Philadelphia (7-5-1) - It's about time people recognize that Brian Westbrook is one of the best tailbacks in the league, despite his injury history. (Next Mon vs. CLE)
5. Atlanta (8-5) - Tough loss to the Saints may have knocked out their division title chances. But still in the playoff mix for sure. (Next vs. TB)
6. Arizona (8-5) - Congrats to them for winning their first division title since 1975. Not like they had much of a fight from SF, STL and SEA. (Next vs. MIN)
7. Dallas (8-5) - Right when it looked like Romo was going to throw the Cowboys to a victory, he throws the game away. Ouch. (Next vs. NYG)
8. New Orleans (7-6) - Reggie Bush looked good but the better news may be that Pierre Thomas looked better. Now, about that defense... (Next Thu @ CHI)
9. Minnesota (8-5) - They have won 3 in a row but it's not been pretty. They barely got by the Lions. And who is gonna start at QB? (Next @ AZ)
10. Washington (7-6) - After a strong start, they are fading fast. The defense is breaking instead of bending and Santana Moss has been non-existent. (Next @ CIN)
11. Chicago (7-6) - Defense looked good against Jacksonville. But a true test comes on Thursday when Drew Brees comes to the Windy City. (Next Thu vs. NO)
12. San Francisco (5-8) - Well, looks like Mike Singletary is gonna keep his coaching gig. Plus, expect Shaun Hill to stay under center in 2009. (Next vs. NYJ)
13. Green Bay (5-8) - The Jaguars of the NFC. Despite a ton of talent, it hasn't translated into wins. Ironically, next game is versus the Jags. (Next @ JAX)
14. Seattle (2-11) - Came oh so close to a big upset over the Patriots. But just like they have all season, they rolled over and played dead...and lost. (Next @ STL)
15. St. Louis (2-11) - It's never good when the players throw up a middle finger to their fans. But, let's be honest, this team is terrible. (Next vs. SEA)
16. Detroit (0-13) - They came close to winning that elusive first game but lost...again. That's right folks, 13 down, 3 to go. Let's go Lions! (Next @ IND)
