1. Packers – Defending champs have had virtually no trouble besides spotting the Falcons 14 points and still winning easily.
2. Patriots – Tom Brady has slowed down since starting with two games of over 400 yards, blew a lead while losing to the Bills.
3. Lions – An explosive offense sits them in the top 3 but benchmark games ahead as they play the Packers twice.
4. Chargers – Phillip Rivers has struggled yet the one-loss Chargers lead their weak division.
5. 49ers – Substantial win in Detroit last week but remember, Alex Smith is their quarterback. He has been helped by a decent run game thanks to Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter.
6. Ravens – Not the greatest start but a big win against the Steelers helped their resume. They dropped a sloppy game in Tennessee.
7. Steelers – Sitting right behind division rival, the Steelers have been playing well lately with wins over the Jaguars and Titans.
8. Saints – Cannot count out Drew Brees, however playing in the toughest division in the NFL.
9. Bills – Surprising start has sizzled thanks to losses against the Giants and Bengals.
10. Titans – Toughest part of their schedule has passed and they sit at 3-2 atop the AFC South. Texans are toughest competitor in division.
11. Buccaneers – Very inconsistent start of the year in that tough NFC South.
12. Giants – Another inconsistent team that just beat the Bills, a week after losing to a sloppy Seahawks team at home.
13. Raiders – The Raiders’ playoff chances took a turn for the worse as Jason Campbell broke his collarbone and is expected to be out for 6 weeks. Chargers are main competition for AFC West divisional crown. Let’s see how wonderful Carson Palmer plays in Campbell’s absence.
14. Texans – Injuries have slowed the Texans to a 3-3 record but Arian Foster is back and Andre Johnson is expected back soon. They play the Titans twice yet to determine the division champ.
15. Bengals – Behind rookie Andy Dalton, have won a quiet 4 games and are in contention for the AFC North.
16. Falcons – Another inconsistent team that can turn on it when needed behind young Matt Ryan. Tough division hurts their chances for playoffs.
17. Jets – Slow start, but can work their way up through the standings. However, their quarterback is Mark Sanchez…
18. Bears – The new kickoff rule has not really affected the specialist, Devin Hester but Jay Cutler is very interception prone.
19. Eagles – A popular, slow start has sent the Eagles to the basement of their division but on any given week can challenge any team.
20. Browns – Colt McCoy are off to decent start but are no competition for the Ravens (6), Steelers (7) or Bengals (15) for the division title.
21. Redskins – Rex Grossman showed his true colors last week but still had a chance to win against the Eagles. Decent position in a tough division.
22. Panthers – Have been close in every game thanks to the surprising rookie season thus far by Cam Newton, thankfully for Carolina, he is allowed to be paid now.
23. Cowboys – Tony Romo is their quarterback, enough said.
24. Seahawks – Their only chance to win is if Tavaris Jackson stays on the bench. A big win in New York against the Giants though.
25. Chiefs – A big blow when Jamaal Charles dropped for the year. Some bright spots include Dwayne Bowe.
26. Broncos – Bad division, but who knows, maybe Tim Tebow will be their savior.
27. Jaguars – Cut David Garrard for no apparent reason and now play behind rookie Blaine Gabbert. Their one win, however was against a good Titans (10) team in the season opener.
28. Vikings – Star running back, Adrian Peterson, is a stuck on a struggling team that LOVES to
blow leads.
29. Cardinals – Worst division in football, NFC West. Cardinals led by a struggling Kevin Kolb.
30. Colts – On the upward swing now that Curtis Painter has taken over and played decent the past two weeks.
31. Dolphins – Starting QB is done for the year, putting faith in Matt Moore = bad situation. Suck for Luck.
32. Rams – A reasonably tough opening schedule sets them at 0-5. The NFC West blows but the 49ers (5) are running away with it.
2. Patriots – Tom Brady has slowed down since starting with two games of over 400 yards, blew a lead while losing to the Bills.
