The top 2 remain the same but we have a new number 3, the Minnesota Vikings, who knocked the Broncos out of the number 3 hole.
The big winner this week is the Houston Texans. They moved up six spots and now sit at number 11, knocking on the door of the top 10.
The big loser this week is the New York Giants. The Giants once claimed the top spot only 3 weeks ago but now have fallen all the way to down 16 after losing three straight.
1. New Orleans Saints (7-0) –
A big win that creates separation in the NFC South.
2. Indianapolis Colts (7-0) –
Had to grind it out against the 49ers but got the job done.
3. Minnesota Vikings (7-1) +2
Favre saved his best for the Packers.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) –
Had a bye to prepare for the Broncos next week.
5. Denver Broncos (6-1) -2
First loss of the season but they weren’t going to win every game.
6. New England Patriots (5-2) +2
Had a bye last week. Face the Dolphins this week.
7. Philadelphia Eagles (5-2) +1
A season defying win for Eagles over the division rival G-Men.
8. Cincinnati Bengals (5-2) -1
Were idle last week. Big division game versus the Ravens coming up.
9. Baltimore Ravens (4-3) +3
The defense showed why they are considered one of the best.
10. Dallas Cowboys (5-2) +3
Getting hot now but have to play the just as hot Eagles this week.
11. Houston Texans (5-3) +6
This may finally be the year for the Texans.
12. Green Bay Packers (4-3) -1
The o-line is still the number one concern for the Packers.
13. San Diego Chargers (4-3) +3
Not an impressive win, but a win never the less.
14. Atlanta Falcons (4-3) –
Gave the Saints a good battle but came up short. Luckily, they get the Redskins next week.
15. Arizona Cardinals (4-3) -5
After they beat the Giants in New York they go lay an egg at home against Carolina.
16. New York Giants (5-3) -7
This team is reeling after three losses in a row. Is Eli’s foot bothering him more than he’s letting on?
17. Chicago Bears (4-3) +1
Slaughtered the Browns but Cutler didn’t play great and the o-line allowed four sacks.
18. Miami Dolphins (3-4) +1
Are now 3-0 in the division and 0-4 against everyone else. They play the Pats this week.
19. New York Jets (4-4) -4
Let one slip away against the Dolphins. Have a bye week upcoming to sort things out.
20. San Francisco 49ers (3-4) –
Played the Colts tight but they need to start winning again.
21. Buffalo Bills (3-5) –
Should get Trent Edwards back this week.
22. Carolina Panthers (3-4) +2
Two season firsts: Jake Delhomme didn’t turn the ball over and Steve Smith caught a touchdown
23. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-4) –
How did the Jaguars only give M.J.D. only eight carries?
24. Seattle Seahawks (2-5) -2
This year’s version of the Seahawks is starting to look awfully similar to last year’s.
25. Tennessee Titans (1-6) +3
With Vince behind center the Titans get win number one.
26. Oakland Raiders (2-6) -1
They played the Chargers tight both times this season, but unfortunately they lost both games.
27. Washington Redskins (2-5) –
They needed more than a bye week to sort out all their problems.
28. Kansas City Chiefs (1-6) -2
The suspension of Larry Johnson will finally give Jamaal Charles a chance.
29. St. Louis Rams (1-7) +3
The Rams get their first win of the season, albeit against the Lions.
30. Detroit Lions (1-6) -1
No Calvin Johnson has hurt them the past few weeks.
31. Cleveland Browns (1-7) -1
Derek Anderson finally got benched for Brady Quinn.
32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7) -1
Josh Freeman had a bye to prepare for his first career start.
