1.(1) New Orleans Saints (4-0)
New Orleans solidified itself as the NFL's best team by defeating the previously unbeaten New York Jets.
2.(8) Indianapolis Colts (4-0)
Indy had looked unstoppable after the first four weeks of the season. Pierre Garcon is emerging as a go to target for Peyton.
3.(4) New England Patriots (3-1)
New England probably shouldn't have won against Baltimore, but a win is a win and they have bounced back from that emotional loss to the New York Jets beautifully.
4.(7) Minnesota Vikings (4-0)
Obviously Favre was going to beat his former team on Monday night, but in the process they showed they can win a game where AP is shut down, was Favre just that good because it was against the Packers or are the Vikings for real?
5.(3) Baltimore Ravens (3-1)
Besides Drew Brees the other early MVP candidate has been Joe Flacco. He's looked phenomenal and if his receivers could catch his passes they may be undefeated.
6.(6) New York Giants (4-0)
Undefeated but they have the easiest schedule in the NFL. They just don't have to body of work the teams in front of them do.
7.(2) New York Jets (3-1)
Tough loss last week for New York and that makes them slide. depending on if Sanchez can bounce back I still think they are the most talented team in the AFC East.
8.(5) Atlanta Falcons (2-1)
Corey's favorite team (R.I.P. my man) The bye week hurt them because so many other teams did well around them, look for them to make a statement next weekend though.
9.(10) Philadelphia Eagles (2-1)
Philly also had a bye week but next weekend McNabb and Westbrook return and I'm predicting Mike Vick's first touchdown as an Eagle.
11.(14) Denver Broncos (4-0)
They are undefeated, Josh McDaniels apparently knows what he's doing getting rid of Jay Cutler. Still another team however I'm not yet sold on as a contender.
11.(11) Cincinnati Bengals (3-1)
Fluke play is what kept them from being 4-0, however im still not convinced for some reason.
12.(13) Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2)
Rashard Mendenhall looked great for the defending champs last week, but they're still 2-2 with the tie-breaking game going to the Bengals.
13.(15) San Francisco 49'ers (3-1)
Best team in their divison and they finally signed Crabtree. He won't be a factor for a few weeks but he could cause some match-up problems late in the season.
14.(12) Green Bay Packers (2-2)
They lost an unwinnable game against Favre and the Vike's on Monday night in Minnesota. The offensive line was atrocious but Rodgers threw for almost 400 yards. They got great news the day after the game when they signed 9 year pro-bowl vet Mark Tauscher and pro-bowl tackle Chad Clifton was cleared to play after the bye.
15.(17) Chicago Bears (3-1)
The only good defense they've faced, Cutler threw 3 int's to them. They play Atlanta this week and if they win they'll jump a few spots.
16.(9) San Diego Chargers (2-2)
This weeks biggest drop, the Chargers look great on paper, but do not look good in games, especially with LT being hampered by that ankle.
17.(21) Houston Texans (2-2)
Houston is showing improvements in almost all areas. The offense is explosive and they could upset a lot of teams that overlook them late in the season.
18.(18) Arizona Cardinals (1-2)
Not much to say, they were off last week so they stay in the same spot as las week. As I said last week, they will not go anywhere unless they protect Warner better, as of right now they are no where near a playoff team.
19.(19) Seattle Seahawks (1-3)
Can't tell if this team is decent or if they are a joke again, they need Hasselbeck back in the worst way.
20.(23) Miami Dolphins (1-3)
They got their first win against the lowly Bills last week, Chad Henne looked good but they have to play the Jets this week, a much bigger test for the second year QB.
21.(16) Dallas Cowboys (1-3)
Romo looks bad and so does everything about this team except the running game. They are no where near the Eagles or Giants in the NFC East.
22.(24) Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2)
They killed Tennessee last week, but Tennessee is very bad this year so I'm not sure if they team is really improving or just played a team that was a lot worse than them.
23.(29) Cleveland Browns (0-4)
Moved up because everyone around them lost badly while they put up a good fight against Cincinnati, also getting rid of a distraction in Edwards will help.
24.(22) Carolina Panthers (0-3)
They were off last week and hopefully John Fox was able to change some things around to get this ship turned the right way. I still think they're a good team, it hurts that they play in the same division as New Orleans and Atlanta.
25.(28) Washington Redskins (2-2)
They won against the worst team in the NFL in my opinion, and they didn't win pretty, but they do have two wins.
26.(20) Tennessee Titans (0-4)
Pre-season Superbowl contender, now 0-4. Something needs to change but I don't think it's benching Kerry Collins for Vince Young, the problem is on defense.
27.(26) Oakland Raiders (1-3)
For some reason. even though Jamarcus Russel can't hit a receiver in stride to save his life, I think this team should be a lot better than they are, I don't know why, I just thought they'd be competing better.
28.(25) Buffalo Bills (1-3)
The first three quarters of this season looked promising, since then they have looked like..well..the Buffalo Bills, which does not bode well for loud mouth TO and company, expect a four or five win season.
29.(27) Detroit Lions (1-3)
They beat the Redskins to end the streak and they looked good against Chicago until Stafford was injured, and he looks like he may miss some time.
30.(31) Kansas City Chiefs (0-4)
They are paying Cassell a lot of money and they shouldn't be, the guy is not an NFL quarterback, let alone a franchise quarterback worth the money they are paying him.
31.(30) St. Louis Rams (0-4)
They have no hope for this season in St. Louis, they have lost 15 straight games dating back to last year, the record is 21, they could get there.
32.(32) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-4)
They showed some promise against the Redskins, but not much. They will not be the worst team in the NFL when the seasons over but for right now, they are in last place.
Player of the week: Vikings Quarterback Brett Favre
Most impressive win: Vikings over Packers
Game of the week: Cincinnati Vs. Cleveland
Worst Performance: Tennesse Vs. Jacksonville
Predictions:
Week Four game of the week: New England Vs. Denver(Interesting to see if Denver is for real.)
Player of the week: Vikings Running Back Adrian Peterson
