| Rank | Team | Record | |
| 1 | Houston | 5-0 | Good Coaching, Good Defense and the ability to control the clock. |
| 2 | Atlanta | 5-0 | The Falcons are delivering on everyone’s expectations. And right now the’re doing it on the back of Matty Ice. |
| 3 | San Francisco | 4-1 | If the 49ers can beat up on the Giants they way they did the other two New York teams, then I think we’re looking at the best team in the NFC. |
| 4 | Baltimore | 4-1 | Good teams, find a way to win on their worst days. |
| 5 | Chicago | 4-1 | 38 second half points. Cutler only sacked once… protect him and the Bears can lock down the division. |
| 6 | New England | 3-2 | Patriots back above .500, remember those scary days when the Patriots had a losing record. |
| 7 | New York (NFC) | 3-2 | When the goings gets tough, the tough gets Cruz’in. |
| 8 | Minnesota | 4-1 | Note to opposing teams when you see #82 in the end zone, cover him. When you see #12 anywhere start running, he will beat you. |
| 9 | Arizona | 4-1 | The NFC West is the best division in football (win %), the Cardinals are going to need those divisional games to go anywhere this season. |
| 10 | Eagles | 3-2 | How many times can we expect the Eagles to win by less than a FG? |
| 11 | Pittsburgh | 2-2 | Steelers have yet to play a divisional opponent, making their 2-2 record meaningless at this point. |
| 12 | San Diego | 3-2 | The deck was stacked against the Chargers Sunday Night, but Monday is a must win. |
| 13 | Green Bay | 2-3 | Another game where the emotion of a stadium overwhelmed a team. The Pack will bounce back, and throw everything they have at Houston this week. |
| 14 | St. Louis | 3-2 | A lot is going to be made of Amendola’s injury, but I think Gibson and Givens will transition nicely. And Jackson and Richardson are relentless. |
| 15 | Denver | 2-3 | Who’s ego is more bruised? Peyton’s or Elway’s? |
| 16 | Seattle | 3-2* | The next two weeks will determine the identity of this Seahawks squad (NE, @SF) |
| 17 | Cincinnati | 3-2 | Only a touchdown, between the Bengals and Browns in Week 2, to stay with the Ravens in the division you have to take care of business on the road. |
| 18 | Indianapolis | 2-2 | These players fought for their coach last week, that emotion can go a long way. Especially where none of their next 5 opponents have a winning record. |
| 19 | Dallas | 2-2 | If I am Jason Garrett I spent the bye week teaching Romo the colors of the opposing teams jerseys. |
| 20 | Miami | 2-3 | Dolphins are improving each week, doing the types of things you expect a young team to do. Fight until the final whistle. |
| 21 | Redskins | 2-3 | Griffin has received his welcome to the NFL lumps… let’s see how he responds. Hopefully its on the field and not through the media. |
| 22 | New York (AFC) | 2-3 | A home game against the rising Colts is the Jets only chance to right the ship. They’re at New England the following week. |
| 23 | Lions | 1-3 | Because doing nothing last week is better than what the #24 team did. |
| 24 | Buffalo | 2-3 | If the Bills don’t rally around each other and the coaching staff this week, something must be done before the bye. |
| 25 | Tampa Bay | 1-3 | The best way to break a 3 game skid? Play the Chiefs at home. |
| 26 | New Orleans | 1-4 | This probably won’t be a playoff year for the Saints, but the nice home win going into a bye week, might just jump start this team. |
| 27 | Carolina | 1-4 | Cam Newton. Cookie or Cake? |
| 28 | Kansas City | 1-4 | Can it get worse for the Chiefs? Oh look, there’s Brady Quinn. |
| 29 | Oakland | 1-3 | So wait shuffling coaches every year doesn’t work? Really? |
| 30 | Tennessee | 1-4 | Who’s hurting more? Fans of the Titans or Fantasy Owners of Chris Johnson? |
| 31 | Jacksonville | 1-4 | Has anyone even see a highlight from Jacksonville at all? I know I haven’t |
| 32 | Cleveland | 0-5 | Cleveland, why can’t you be more like your brothers Cincinnati and Baltimore!? |
