This week's rankings:
1. New England Patriots 7-0 (2)
No one is invincible. And the Patriots give up points.
2. Pittsburgh Steelers 4-2 (1)
My AFC sleeper team. Unfortunately they can't play western road games (losses at Denver and Arizona). Lucky for them, their only other trip west of the Mississippi is at St. Louis.
3. Indianapolis Colts 6-0 (3)
Keep playing beneath the radar. Nothing matters until you play the Pats. Nothing.
4. Dallas Cowboys 6-1 (6)
The Vikings almost had 'em. Next three games are in conference. Could get interesting.
5. Washington Persons 4-2 (5)
My NFC sleeper. I may need a new one after they travel to New England.
6. Green Bay Packers 5-1 (7)
7. Seattle Seahawks 4-3 (16)
8. New York Giants 5-2 (12)
9. Jacksonville Jaguars 4-2 (4)
10. Tennessee Titans 4-2 (8)
11. San Diego Chargers 3-3 (11)
12. Philadelphia Eagles 2-4 (10)
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-3 (9)
14. Carolina Panthers 4-2 (14)
15. Baltimore Ravens 4-3 (15)
16. Minnesota Vikings 2-4 (13)
17. Houston Texans 3-4 (17)
18. Arizona Cardinals 3-4 (18)
19. Cleveland Browns 3-3 (19)
20. Kansas City Persons 4-3 (21)
How on earth does KC have a winning record? Oh yeah, their last two wins were against the Raiders and Bengals (see below).
21. Oakland Raiders 2-4 (20)
22. Cincinnati Bengals 2-4 (22)
23. Chicago Bears 3-4 (23)
Griese!
24. Detroit Lions 4-2 (24)
25. New York Jets 1-6 (26)
26. Miami Dolphins 0-7 (25)
The Dolphins' ability to score will eventually turn into wins (59 pts in last two losses).
27. New Orleans Saints 2-4 (29)
Advertisers still love them. Me, not so much.
28. Denver Broncos 3-3 (30)
They defended home turf, but still required a field goal to win. Jason Elam for MVP.
29. Buffalo Bills 2-4 (31)
30. Atlanta Falcons 1-6 (28)
31. San Francisco 49ers 2-4 (27)
32. St. Louis Rams 0-7 (32)
