#1 - Kansas City Chiefs

Being undefeated gets you the top spot when you're the only team that's undefeated.

 

#2 - Denver Broncos

Peyton Manning + That Defense = Something even Jack Del Rio shouldn't be able to screw up.  

 

#3 - Indianapolis Colts

Close call with the Texans, but they pulled through.

 

#4 - Seattle Seahawks

They might have trouble if they don't get home field advantage in the playoffs.  Almost losing to the Buccaneers at home damages their reputation as well.

 

#5 - San Francisco 49ers

They threaten the Seahawks for the Division.

 

#6 - Green Bay Packers

Aaron Rodgers makes any team instantly competitive.  

 

#7 - Cincinnati Bengals

Clearly the AFC North winner.

 

#8 - Detroit Lions

A very tough team that could squeak in with that second wild card spot.

 

#9 - New England Patriots

The mighty have fallen, but not very far.  

 

#10 - New Orleans Saints

A loss to the Jets makes them look vulnerable. 

 

#11 - Dallas Cowboys

If they can get it together, they could be a great team.

#12 -Carolina Panthers

The only other competitive team in the NFC South.

 

#13 -  Chicago Bears

How will they do without Jay Cutler? 

 

#14 - New York Jets

They need to be more consistent. 

 

#15 - San Diego Chargers

An overtime loss to the Redskins was nothing to be ashamed of.

 

#16 - Tennessee Titans

They're competing for Wildcard Spot #2 in the AFC.  Not sure they make it though.

 

#17 - Miami Dolphins

Their O-Line woes stop them from threatening New England.

 

#18 - Philadelphia Eagles

If Nick Foles can be consistent, this team could threaten Dallas for the division.  But he's not going to consistently

throw 7 touchdowns.

 

#19 -  Cleveland Browns

Better than anybody gives them credit for.  They're competitive with Jason Campbell behind center.  Imagine if they actually had a good Quarterback.

 

#20 - Baltimore Ravens

The Ravens have fallen so far in so little time.  Joe Flacco has lost his touch.  

 

#21- Washington Redskins

Their defense still has some work to do.  They almost blew it against the Chargers.

#22 - Houston Texans

They just can't finish teams off.

 

#23 - Arizona Cardinals

Hard to tell where they really stand.

 

#24 - Buffalo Bills

A team that plays pretty good football -- but isn't quite a winner yet.

 

#25 - Oakland Raiders

They're still the Raiders we all know and loathe.

 

#26 - St. Louis Rams

Probably should be a little higher, but really hard to put them too high.

 

#27 - Pittsburgh Steelers

A team that has really fallen hard.

 

#28 - Atlanta Falcons

Without their top receivers, this team is one of the worst in the league right now.  Mike Smith should be on the hot seat.

 

#29 - New York Giants

There's a lot wrong in the state of New York. 

 

#30 - Minnesota Vikings

Impressive effort this week, but still a bottom 3 team.  

 

#31 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Almost beat the Seahawks in Seattle.  It's a matter of time before they win a game -- the question is when.

 

#32 - Jacksonville Jaguars

Can't even beat the Bye week at this point.  They could still beat any college team however by at least 14.
