Most free agents have signed and the draft is on the horizon so here is the up to date power rankings.

32. Oakland Raiders – They just traded Carson Palmer and now outside of McFadden are there any players on their roster with any talent? Al Davis would not approve of this but the Raiders are as close to rock bottom as you can possibly can get.

31.  Jacksonville Jaguars - They put covers over seats to sellout games and yet they won’t do the P.R. thing to do and trade for local hero Tim Tebow. Is it safe to say the Gabbert equals Bust?

30. Buffalo Bills - Is Geno Smith going here in the draft? When was the last time that the Bills made the playoffs? C.J. Spiller should be ready for a huge season if he can stay healthy for 16 games.

29. Tennessee Titans - Ryan Fitzpatrick versus Jake Locker must get Titans fans excited…..NOT! How long will Kenny Britt stay healthy or out of trouble?

28. New York Jets - Mark Sanchez is not an elite quarterback, Shonn Greene is not an elite running back, the Jets aren’t an elite team no matter what blowhard Rex Ryan has to say and he has a lot to say.

27. Detroit Lions - When did they win last? September? This is just a fantasy football team that cannot win real games.  This will be Jim Schwartz last season. Reggie Bush could have a big year in Motown.

26. Cleveland Browns - I like the aggressive move to get Paul Kruger, but they are still the Browns.  They are still at least a year away from playoff contention.

25. Kansas City Chiefs - I really liked the Andy Reid hire,  but then they traded for Alex Smith, one step forward five steps back.

24. Philadelphia Eagles - Chip Kelly will not be able to recruit for better talent then the other teams in the NFC East, it will be interesting to see if his system can work in the NFL or will he be just another Steve Spurrier.

23. Carolina Panthers - Which team is this? the one that was horrible in the first half of the season or the team that finished winning 5 of 6.  They didn’t have any money for free agents so they will have to do some good work in the draft.

22. Minnesota Vikings - Losing Percy Harvin will be a bigger deal than picking up Greg Jennings. Christian Ponder will have to be more consistent so they don’t waste the great seasons of Adrian Peterson.

21. Arizona Cardinals - I like the Carson Palmer move for both real and fantasy football especially for Larry Fitzgerald. They will still need to have a strong draft from top to bottom.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - They are a young team but are they a team on the rise?

19. San Diego Chargers - Norv Turner is finally gone will this help or hurt Phillip Rivers who has not seemed himself for two straight seasons or maybe this is normal self.

18. Miami Dolphins - Will Mike Wallace and Brian Hartline become Clayton and Duper? Depends on Tanneyhill’s progress, but the loss of Bush has to hurt the offense some.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers - Goodbye Mike Wallace and Rashard Mendenahall.  It sure feels like the Steelers are in decline, they will need a good draft this year.

16. New York Giants - The only thing they have kept is Victor Cruz and they have lost all the rest.  Eli will have to save Tom’s job again in December, but isn’t this how the Giants thrive?

15. Chicago Bears - Yes I really like all the offensive moves the Bears have made under Emery especially addressing the Left Tackle position, but I’m more concerned about an aging defense that will be under new leadership for the first time in years.

14. St Louis Rams – Adding  Jared Cook could be a lot bigger than Jake Long, but these additions will give Jeff Fisher and a young team on the rise more pieces to play with to contend with the Seahawks and 49ers.

13. Baltimore Ravens - Do they have anyone left under contract besides Joe Flacco? Like the Bears losing Urlacher, having Ray Lewis retire will be their biggest obstacle which they will struggle with for more than a year to come.

12. Dallas Cowboys - Romo is locked up and they didn’t lose anyone so that should guarantee another up and down 8-8 season right?

11. Washington Redskins - RG3′s health will decide what this team does in 2013. Cousins is ok in a pinch but the dose always will need to be RG3!

10. Cincinnati Bengals - Very strong offensive nucleus that hasn’t lost anything in free agency. They will need to have another good draft.

9. Indianapolis Colts - Welcome LaRon Landry to the team.  Last years inspirational story, how will the team play without a special cause in 2013? Was this just inspired football or a team on the rise with another young developing franchise quarterback.

8. Green Bay Packers - I know losing Charles Woodson will hurt them in their two matchup’s against the Bears and Jay Cutler, but losing Greg Jennings could be the move that hurts them long term especially if James Jones has his brick hands return in 2013.

7. Atlanta Falcons - Having Tony Gonzalez play one more season is the biggest signing they could have made.  Stephen Jackson is the same as Michael Turner…Not much left in the tank.

6. Houston Texans - Does Ed Reed have anything left and can he be the piece that finally leads this team over the hump and into the Super Bowl promise land?

5. San Francisco  49ers - Losing Goldson will hurt.  Will Kaepernick be a one hit wonder or will Harbaugh be able to get every last ounce of talent out of him and return to the Super Bowl.  Under the radar Michael Crabtree after a slow start to his career is ready for a breakout season epecially after the solid 2012 season Crabtree had.

4. New England Patriots - The only player in the NFL that could replace Wes Welker was Amendola.  The evil empire  strikes back and should have another great year look for a lot of defensive draft picks this year.

3. Denver Broncos - Just what Peyton Manning needed he got. Wes Welker will make this receiving corp almost impossible to defend.  The only problem is that Manning struggles outdoors in the playoffs so maybe they should just try to be a #4 seed and win out on the the road.

2. Seattle Seahawks - The most dynamic offense that continued to improve each week gets Percy Harvin….not fair! 4th rated defense gets Cliff Avril too should be an exciting shootout for first between Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh I mean the Seahawks and 49ers

1. New Orleans Saints - The biggest offseason move by any team wasn’t a signed contract, but the NFL reinstating Sean Payton.  This team with its general back in charge will be a tough nut to crack all season long, Good luck NFC South!

It’s almost funny to think how people were skeptical that the Broncos let Tim Tebow leave and bring in an injured Peyton Manning. The skeptics were out when they lost a few early on but after running off 11 straight wins the only talk is will Peyton win another MVP award.  Here is this week’s final regular season ranking.

1. Denver Broncos (13-3) The only question will be will Manning be able to lead the Broncos to the Super Bowl or will he come up short like he did far too many times in Indy.

2. New England Patriots (12-4) We could be getting ready for another Manning vs Brady rematch.

3. Atlanta Falcons (13-3) Will this be the season that Matt Ryan and crew turn the corner or will the stumble again in the playoffs.

4. Houston Texans (12-4) They really needed the bye week, but could they make a run after disappointment like the Cardinals did a few years back?

5. Green Bay Packers (11-5) They need to figure out how to stop A.P. if they do they could be in New Orleans in February.

6. SF 49ers (11-4-1) I’m not excited about their chances, but defenses win championships.

7. Seattle Seahawks (11-5) If they had home field advantage, this would be my pick. There offense is red hot at the right time.

8. Indy Colts (11-5) If you don’t have a rooting interest left in the playoffs, this is the best story of the year!

9. Baltimore Ravens (10-6) This team is hard to figure out and their defense isn’t good enough anymore to carry them as far as it use to.

10. Minnesota Vikings (10-6) Ponder will have to make some plays in Lamebeau for them to advance. A.P. is great but not good enough by himself for a road playoff win.

11. Cincy Bengals (10-6) Can Andy and AJ shock the world in Houston Saturday?

12. Washington Redskins (10-6) Great job by Shanahan to get the most of his young stars to get to the playoffs.  Will the Hogs show up this Sunday?

13. Chicago Bears (10-6) The late defensive collapse against Seattle cost them everything from the playoffs to their head coach.

14. NY Giants (9-7) They could be world beaters or total stinkers which is why they are home for the playoffs.

15. Dallas Cowboys (8-8) They are a .500 team under Jason Garrett. Not shocking that they ended 8-8?!?

16. St Louis Rams (7-8-1) This team is just a playmaker on the outside away from being a really good team. Jackson has a lot of mileage though.

17. New Orleans Saints (7-9) They will be a 2013 playoff team period. Welcome back Coach!

18. Pittsburgh Steelers (8-8) I predicted an average season and they produced it! This is a team getting old.

19. Cleveland Browns (5-11) The youngest team in the league, they were in almost every game this season. Another good draft could push them close to the playoffs next year.

20. Carolina Panthers (7-9) After a horrible first half, Cam and company turned things around to get back to respectability.

21. Tampa Bay Bucs (7-9) Freeman must find some sort of consistency. He’s either great or really bad.

22. Miami Dolphins (7-9) Tannehill proved that his selection was justified. Now management needs to get him some real weapons.

23. NY Jets (6-10) Not quite sure how Ryan kept his job except for the fact that he has 2 years left on his contract.

24. Buffalo Bills (6-10) Besides the Bears job this could be the best coaching job available if they fix the QB position.

25. Detroit Lions (4-12) A terrible off-season followed by a worse season. Too much talent on both sides of the ball for that record.

26. Philly Eagles (4-12) This is why you don’t build through free agency.

27. Tennessee Titans (6-10) They were blown out a lot. Locker doesn’t look like the long term answer in Nashville.

28. San Diego Chargers (7-9) Like the Lions this teams should not be out of the playoffs. Rivers has been too turnover prone the past two seasons.

29. Arizona Cardinals (5-11) Nothing like a 1-11 finish to run off your coach. 3 of the coaches fired in the NFC were Super Bowl losing coaches.

30. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-14) Tim Tebow Time!!

31. KC Chiefs (2-14) Welcome to Rock Bottom.

32. Oakland Raiders (4-12) The 2000′s- A committment to losing! With no end in sight!

One week left and it seems like whomever I put on the top of this list finds a way to lose the following week.  The top five teams seem to have been playing frogger at the top of this list, but they have punched their tickets to the playoffs.  The Bears need to win and get help which is pretty depressing after a 7-1 start. Here is the final regular season list.

1. Atlanta Falcons (13-2) After winning most of their games in close dramatic fashion, they have been destroying teams on their way to clinching the top spot in the NFC.

2. Denver Broncos (12-3) It sure doesn’t seem like much of risk taken by Denver on Peyton Manning now does it?

3. Green Bay Packers (10-4) They need to win to get a shot at a bye week which is the best news for Bears fans that there is!

4. Seattle Seahawks (10-5) Next to the Broncos, this is the hottest team in the NFL and they are dismantling defenses with ease.

5. Houston Texans (12-3) They picked a bad week to play like the old Texans

6. New England Patriots (11-4) They slept walked through the Jags game, they will be a tough out in the AFC as usual.

7. Baltimore Ravens (10-5) Two totally different teams decided by the venue.  They are a one and done playoff team.

8. SF 49ers (10-4-1) Colin isn’t playing that great anymore. Alex Smith paging Alex Smith.

9. Minnesota Vikings (9-6) The most shocking team this season with the most shocking comeback in Peterson.

10. Washington Redskins (9-6) The second most shocking team in the NFL.

11. Indy Colts (10-5) The third most shocking team in the NFL and by far the most inspirational.

12. Cincy Bengals (9-6) What a huge win against their nemesis in Pittsburgh.

13. Chicago Bears (9-6) They never should be in this position without being able to control their own fate.

14. Dallas Cowboys (8-7) Another game slipped through their fingers. Sean Payton anyone?

15. NY Giants (8-7) Eli did not play very well down the stretch which killed them. This team only steps up when Coughlin’s job is on the line.

16. St Louis Rams (7-7-1) This will be a team to watch out for in 2013. Fisher has done a great job.

17. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-8) A year to forget in the Steel City.

18. New Orleans Saints (7-8) The non playoff team that could go deep into the playoffs next year if Payton returns to the sidelines in the Big Easy.

19. Miami Dolphins (7-8) They seem to always be stuck around .500 hopefully Tannehill is something for them to build on but he needs some real receivers.

20. NY Jets (6-9) They really messed up this season. Their defense isn’t getting better under Ryan either.

21. Carolina Panthers (6-9) They are playing really good football with nothing to lose, but will it be enough to save Rivera’s job.

22. Tampa Bay Bucs (6-9) After a few good weeks Josh Freeman and Doug Martin have fell back to average.

23. Cleveland Browns (5-10) They seem to be on the right track, another good draft could push the youngest team in the NFL to the playoffs next year.

24. San Diego Chargers (6-9) Is Phillip Rivers good? Will he respond to a new voice?

25. Buffalo Bills (5-10) It’s hard to believe this franchise went to four straight Super Bowls, they have been bad for a long time.

26. Tennessee Titans (5-10) They really know how to put out the welcome matt to teams visiting Nashville!

27. Arizona Cardinals (5-10) Their offense minus Fitzgerald is unwatchable.

28. Detroit Lions (4-11) Congrats to Megatron.

29. Philly Eagles (4-11) Such high expectations every season yet very little success since Mike Vick arrived.

30. Oakland Raiders (4-11) After watching them play you have question how they possibly won four football games!

31. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-13) Tim Tebow will be the starting QB next year. right?

32. KC Chiefs (2-13) A season to forget is an understatement.

1. New England Patriots (10-3) Ever since the trade for Aqib Talib their defense has improved dramatically and Tom Brady is just really good.

2. Denver Broncos (10-3) Manning put on a clinic in the Black Hole Thursday night.  5th MVP?

3. Green Bay Packers (9-4) Aaron Rodgers might be shortish but he just collect win after win.  Lovie better figure a way to stop him this Sunday.

4. Houston Texans (11-2) Growing pains against the elite teams in the regular season could lead to a huge playoff experience and a trip to the Super Bowl.

5. Atlanta Falcons (11-2) Still the #1 seed and still needing to go deep in the playoffs to silence the critics.

6. SF 49ers (9-3-1) They have it all set up for Alex Smith to return and be the hero. I think?!?

7. Baltimore Ravens (9-4) They let the Washington game slip threw their hands.  Their defense will be the reason they don’t make it to New Orleans.

8. NY Giants (8-5) It’s so strange that an NFL team can just turn on and off the switch as easy as the Giants do on a week by week basis.

9. Seattle Seahawks (8-5) 58-0! enough said.

10. Indy Colts (9-4) Remember when 5 or 6 wins was the expectation? Now it’s what can the Colts do in the playoffs.

11. Washington Redskins (7-6) They really need RG3 to play Sunday to continue this hot streak.

12. Chicago Bears (8-5) When Lovie gets fired at the end of the season he can only thank himself for hiring Mike Tice as the offensive coordinator.  This offense is unwatchable at times just like most of the past half century.

13. Minnesota Vikings (7-6) Peterson is the MVP Period!

14. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6) Guess they should have started Charlie Batch against the Chargers!

15. Cincinnati Bengals (7-6) Letting the Cowboys sneak out a win will be costly for their playoff hopes.

16. St Louis Rams (6-6-1) Great defense by Jeff Fisher. Horrible offense.

17. Dallas Cowboys (7-6) Crazy prediction–whoever they play this week it will go down to the last possession and they will find a way to lose.

18. NY Jets (6-7) Defense is playing better, too bad they wasted the entire season worrying about the QB.

19. Cleveland Browns (5-8) This team is playing decent football.  Imagine if they had won any of the close games they lost early in the season.

20. Tampa Bay Bucs (6-7) Back to earth Mr. Freeman. you lost to Nick Foles! Say it Nick Foles!!

21. Miami Dolphins (5-8) They play hard but they are limited at wide receiver. Tannehill needs some real weapons like all the other rookie QB’s have.

22. Buffalo Bills (5-8) Ryan Fitzpatrick is exciting and frustrating to watch. The Bills defense is playing better football since Mario Williams returned from injury.

23. Carolina Panthers (4-9) That’s was how Cam was suppose to play all season long!

24. New Orleans Saints (5-8) What a waste of talent and a season.  Thanks Commish.

25. Detroit Lions (4-9) Imagine their offense if Chip Kelly takes it over!!

26. Philly Eagles (4-9) You weren’t suppose to win anymore games! Didn’t the whole team quit on Andy Reid?

27. Tennessee Titans (4-9) Think they wish they still had Jeff Fisher as their head coach?

28. Oakland Raiders (3-10) At least they have a good punter and field goal kicker!

29. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-11) Would LA or London even want to claim this organization as their own?

30. KC Chiefs (2-11) Only thing to look forward in KC is the April Draft!

31. San Diego Chargers (5-8) Way to save Norv’s job for another week. If they played that way all season they wouldn’t be 5-8! Is Rivers really a leader?

32. Arizona Cardinals (4-9) 58-0?? at least get a field goal! Their QB situation is a disaster from the first game until today!

It’s a weird season heading into week #14 when there are two teams with only one loss and nobody has any faith in them.  Both teams have one way for the media to give them their due and that is to win come playoff time.  The Texans have won one game in the past few years in the playoffs while the Falcons are 0-3.  Regular season games get you to the dance, but it’s what you do at the dance that makes people remember you. Here are this weeks rankings.

1. Houston Texans (11-1) Just another business trip in a boring win.  They have all facets of their game working right now which makes their offense hard to defend.

2. Atlanta Falcons (11-1) They just have a knack of finding a way to win except in January.

3. New England Patriots (9-3)  Nobody will want to face this offense come January and their defense is improving weekly.

4. SF 49ers (8-3-1) The Colin choice could backfire on Harbaugh. He will play like a rookie throwing the ball at times.

5. Denver Broncos (9-3) The defense is playing well, Peyton is playing well, Do you think they miss Tebowmania now?

6. Baltimore Ravens (9-3) Way to give life to the Steelers! This may be a fraud team that should have lost to the Chargers the week before.

7. Green Bay Packers (8-4) It could be the Bears vs Packers in a couple of weeks for the division championship.

8. Indy Colts (8-4) There is something special going on in Indy.

9. Chicago Bears (8-4) So many chance to put the Seahawks away.

10. Seattle Seahawks (7-5) If Russell Wilson learns how to win on the road this team could be dangerous in January.

11. NY Giants (7-5) They will snap out of this right? They do every year right before the playoffs.

12, Pittsburgh Steelers (7-5) What a huge win orchestrated by Charlie Batch. Who knew?!?!?

13. Cincinnati Bengals (7-5) A.J. Green could be becoming the greatest wide receiver of the next 10 years.

14. Tampa Bay Bucs (6-6) They are playing too well to be only collecting Loses right now.

15. Washington Redskins (6-6) RG3 is well on his way to leading the Redskins to a Wild Card birth.

16. Minnesota Vikings (6-6) Ponder needs to snap out of it quickly! Just not this week!

17. Dallas Cowboys (6-6) Shocking that they are .500?!? Pretty sure that’s Jason Garrett’s career record.

18. New Orleans Saints (5-7) So much for their hot streak….  Hope Brees’s bad day didn’t cost you in fantasy football.

19. St Louis Rams (5-6-1) This team could be dangerous with a NFL passing game. Jeff Fisher’s defense is playing good football.

20. Detroit Lions (4-8) They are turning into the Cowboys… in finding ways to lose.

21. Miami Dolphins (5-7) Tannehill is way more impressive than I thought he would be especially without many weapons.

22. Buffalo Bills (5-7) Their defense is starting to play like they were predicted to play before the season.

23. Cleveland Browns (4-8) Their defense is the reason they are competitive in most games and their young offense is starting to help win the games.

24. Tennessee Titans (4-8) They give up a lot of points in Nashville!

25.  Arizona Cardinals (4-8) Another defense getting wasted by one of the worst offenses in the BCS I mean NFL.

26. San Diego Chargers (4-8) Another waste of talent. Please move on from Norv.

27. Carolina Panthers (3-9) Cam seems to have snapped out of his funk. maybe

28. NY Jets (5-7) I’m so tired of listening to talk radio worrying about Mark Sanchez and company

29. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-10) Henne at least looks like a NFL QB.

30. Oakland Raiders (3-9) It seems like a lifetime ago when they were a great franchise.

31. KC Chiefs (2-10) Very good game by Brady Quinn.

32. Philly Eagles (3-9) This team is done. They will not win again until 2013 providing we all dodge the Mayans!

The week has finally ended after a feastful of games on Thursday, it finally crashed landed in Philly on Monday night.  Last week’s #1 stays in the top spot after going to New Orleans and beating a hot Drew Brees and company.  Coach Harbaugh rolled the dice on the higher ceiling guy in Kaepernick and now seemingly has his guy behind center for a deep run to the playoffs. Here’s this week’s rankings.

1. SF 49ers (8-2-1) Harbaugh must like gambling because he went with the not very safe choice and rode out of New Orleans fo the win.

2. Houston Texans (10-1) Two straight weeks of non stop Andre Johnson.

3. Atlanta Falcons (10-1) All they do is win football games, yet their season will be judged as a success or failure only in the playoffs.

4. NY Giants (7-4) They’re back!! After their normal mid-season hiatus they open up a can on the Packers, this is when they usually go on their run.

5. Baltimore Ravens (9-2) Great 4th down run by Rice, and they won a game on the west coast they had no business winning.  A sign of a good team with the possibility of getting Ray Lewis back for the playoffs.

6. New England Patriots (8-3) It looks like Brady and company have this season figured out, now they are just in a race with the Ravens and Broncos for a first round bye.

7. Chicago Bears (8-3) They dominated Minnesota but at a large healthy price. Cutler gets bashed a lot but all he does is win football games.

8. Green Bay Packers (7-4) Following the footprints left by the Bears they got destroyed in prime time.  The injury bug caught up with them for at least one week.

9. Denver Broncos (8-3) Way to sleepwalk to a win in KC.  Every team has a week like that its just usually on the losing end.

10. Tampa Bay Bucs (6-5) Tough loss at home to the Falcons. They are playing good football, it will be interesting how they come out after their loss to Atlanta.

11. New Orleans Saints (5-6) They may have dug the hole too deep, they still have a favorable schedule to sneak into the Wild Card.

12. Seattle Seahawks (6-5) Very good home team, very mediocre road team. Hopefully mediocre visits Soldier Field this Sunday!

13. Indy Colts (7-4) Everytime you watch them play you feel like the soundtrack of Hoosiers should be playing in the background! Don’t get caught watching the paint dry!!

14. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5) You can’t turn the ball over 8 times in a flag football game and win or even in Cleveland, that is the definition of an ugly loss.

15. Cincinnati Bengals (6-5) They are about to pass the  Steelers by playing good football for the past month.

16. Washington Redskins (5-6) Their schedule is set up to make a run at a Wild Card, will RG3 deliver?

17. Dallas Cowboys (5-6) They have lost so many games by getting so far behind in the first half, Garrett should lose his job for his coaching this season.

18. Minnesota Vikings (6-5) Without Percy Harvin in the lineup, the Vikings are too one dimensional even though that one dimension is pretty Awesome. Still hard to believe what Adrian Peterson is doing after having ACL surgery less than a year ago.

19. Miami Dolphins (5-6) Reggie Bush’s run was spectacular and Tannehill was able to drive them late twice for the win, and Carpenter finally made a late kick.

20. St Louis Rams (4-6-1) Watch out for the Rams next season if they figure out a vertical offense because their defense is only going to get better under Jeff Fisher.

21. Arizona Cardinals (4-7) Remember when they were 4-0??

22. Philly Eagles (3-8) Remember when they beat the Giants to go 3-1??

23. San Diego Chargers (4-7) Remember when they were 4-0?? Giving up 4th and 29 should have been an automatic pink slip to Norv Turner.

24. NY Jets (4-7) They are so bad that they forced Fireman Ed into retirement! If only they could force the chant into retirement too!

25. Detroit Lions (4-7) And they didn’t think all those arrests would end up reflecting on the field…. this isn’t SEC football this is the NFL!!

26. Buffalo Bills (4-7) Remember when Jim Kelly was there and they were a real NFL organization?

27. Tennessee Titans (4-7) Whats worse losing by 31 at home or losing to the Jags period?

28. Carolina Panthers (3-8) They visit Kansas City Sunday, that should be exciting!!

29. Cleveland Browns (3-8) Their defense has played very good football the last two weeks. Beating Pittsburgh made their season!

30. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9) Why did you not start Chad Henne weeks ago??

31. Oakland Raiders (3-8) I’m sorry but it was great watching the Bengals put a beat down on Carson Palmer. The tuck rule really put this organization in a tale spin.

32. KC Chiefs (1-10) Now they lose and just ask for autographs from real NFL players.

After barely beating the Rams last week the 49ers destroyed the Bears on MNF that must have left former Bear Jim Harbaugh giddy all night.  The 49ers possess a great defense with a very good running attack that once they get a lead is hard to retake. After slipping in the rankings for a few weeks they return to the top spot after the other teams struggled with inferior opponnents.

1. SF 49ers (7-2-1) That is how you come up with a game plan with a backup QB!

2. Houston Texans (9-1) That is how you make a backup QB look all-pro, but they survived Hurricane Henne

3. Atlanta Falcons (9-1) That is how you survive your QB throwing 5 interceptions without a touchdown pass since the 50′s!

4. Green Bay Packers (7-3) That is how you make a comeback after one of the worst calls ever by winning five straight games.

5. Baltimore Ravens (8-2) That is the most inconstistent offense is the NFL picking up a win against their rival!

6. Denver Broncos (7-3) Super Bowl or Bust for the Manning Broncos.

7. New England Patriots (7-3) Talib will make or break their defense.  Losing Gronkowski while running the score up will not feel good for a while.

8. Chicago Bears (7-3) Same record as a year ago except the fact that Cutler isn’t out for the rest of the season.

9. Tampa Bay Bucs (6-4) Their offense keeps putting points up and they picked up a huge confidence win in OT this past weekend.

10. Seattle Seahawks (6-4) Nobody talks about them, but they have a good defense and Wilson does just enough to win.

11. New Orleans Saints (5-5) I told you weeks ago when they had it figured out that nobody will want to play them!

They came in on a messy night in front of a national audience, and stole a game without their best offensive effort by far.  They did go pretty conservative when they saw that Jason Campbell wasn’t going to be very vertical in the passing game, but it was the Houston Texans defense that propels them to first in the rankings this week.  After getting destroyed at home by the Green Bay Packers a month ago, Sunday night was a huge test for the Texans that they passed bearly.

1. Houston Texans (8-1)- The most well rounded team in the NFL.  Coach Kubiak summarized Foster’s 102 yards on the ground as the toughest he’s ever seen.

2. Atlanta Falcons (8-1) Another well rounded team, the good news with the defeat we hopefully don’t have to see Roddy White in front of a microphone until the playoffs.

3. Green Bay Packers (6-3) The hottest team in the NFL going into the bye week, and they have beaten both the Bears and Texans.

4. San Fransisco 49ers (6-2-1) This team struggles playing from behind, but at least they got a tie out of it.  Smith’s status like Cutler’s will be a topic all week.

5. Chicago Bears (7-2) They need to bench Cutler the game after their 7th victory of the year so he will stop getting hurt in that game.  Coach Tice has had 1/2 a season to get this offense improved..It’s go time from this point on!

6. Denver Broncos (6-3) The 2nd hottest team in the NFL and when Peyton gets a team on a roll they don’t lose for extended periods of time!

7. Baltimore Ravens (7-2) They will be tested mightily when they start playing good offensive teams.  Ray Rice is a great player.

8. New England Patriots (6-3) They could have easily lost to the Bills Sunday,  This has to be their worst defense in the past decade in New England.

9. Pittsburgh Steelers (6-3) Now that they have it figured out Ben gets hurt.  No telling how long he will be out, but their back-ups will struggle like they all do in the NFL.

10. Tampa Bay Bucs (5-4) The break out of Doug Martin has help make their offense a difficult one to stop.

11. NY Giants (6-4) Remember when the NFC East was always spoke of as the most difficult in the NFL.  Giants are on cruise control because the rest of the division stinks.

12. Seattle Seahawks (6-4) Their offense is scoring enough to go along with a very good defense. Golden Tate has made a huge jump this season.

13. New Orleans Saints (4-5) They are on a roll and nobody will want to have them as their opponent if they make the playoffs except for maybe Marshawn Lynch.

14. Minnesota Vikings (6-4) What Adrian Peterson has been able to do after an ACL injury is incredible and almost freeky!

15. Indy Colts (6-3) It’s the best story in the NFL and I find myself rooting for them more and more each week. Their schedule will be getting tougher now.

16. Detroit Lions (4-5) Their season could be at make it or break it mode this week against the Packers.  MegaDrop is dead long live Megatron (at least in fantasy football)

17. Cincinnati Bengals (4-5) They looked like their season was going south quick and then they go out and dismantle the Giants! Who knew?

18. Dallas Cowboys (4-5) They will get on a roll until the next time they need a big play from Romo and he won’t deliver.

19. Miami Dolphins (4-5) What happened? How do you let a team that lost by 30 come into your house and take you behind the wood shed like that?

20. San Diego Chargers (4-5) Phillip Rivers is turning into Romo Jr with all of his turnovers. This team needs a new coach badly.

21.Tennesse Titans (4-6) A friend of mine that is a Titans fans said he was quitting football after last week, and still wouldn’t “totally” return after a 34 point win. No my friend isn’t Bud Adams.

22. St Louis Rams (3-5-1) They had the 49ers on the ropes without their starting QB and still only came away with a tie.

23. Buffalo Bills (3-6) They are exciting to watch with a team that puts up fantasy numbers, but they always faulter in the clutch.

24. NY Jets (3-6) This is a boring unwatchable team. Put Tebow in for the fans sake!

25. Philly Eagles (3-6) The fans got what they wanted in Foles, and yet the turnovers kept on coming!

26. Washington Redskins (3-6) I hope they talked coach Shanahan off the ledge during the bye week.

27. Arizona Cardinals (4-5) Their offense looks worse every week, maybe they practiced it during the bye week.

28. Carolina Panthers (2-7) This team has too many good running backs not to be leading the lead in this category or at least trying to.

29. Oakland Raiders (3-6) At least Carson Palmer is fantasy relevant in a pinch again.

30. Cleveland Browns (2-7) If they get to four wins is that considered a successful season?

31.  Jacksonville Jaguars (1-8) They really know how to roll out the welcome mat to opposing teams arriving in Jacksonville!

32. KC Chiefs (1-8) They made an unwatchable game even longer by taking it to OT before losing this week!
