1) Dallas:  Record 3-0 (Win vs Packers 27-16):  Last weeks rank: #1:  They won in Green Bay for the first time, but it’s not the same as winning there in December.  Still, they won comfortably, despite a slow start from Romo.

2) New York Giants:  Record 3-0 (Beat the Bengals in OT 26-23) Last weeks rank #2:  Disappointing win here, but give the Bengals credit, they showed what they’re capable of.  Giants stayed with it and finally broke the D down in OT.

3) Philadelphia:  Record 2-1 (Beat Steelers 15-6):  Last weeks rank:  #5:  Lose Westbrook for 3 quarters, Lose McNabb for a series and still win against a tough team.  This is an interesting and possibly the most well rounded.  As long as Westbrook and McNabb stay healthy.  Welcome back Dawk.

4) Denver:  Record 3-0 (Beat the Saints 34-32)  Last weeks rank:  #12:  The league’s new version of the Colts exploded again… and nearly lost again.  The D has issues but the O is pretty sick.

5) Tennessee:  Record 3-0 (Beat Houston 31-12)  Last weeks rank:  #9:  Wow, they are better with Collins.

6) Green Bay:  Record 2-1  (Lost to Cowboys 27-16) Last weeks rank:  #4:  They come back down to earth a little this week, but it wasn’t a whooping.  They’ll continue to improve, their just not there yet.

7) Buffalo:  Record 3-0 (Beat Raiders 24-23)  Last weeks rank:  #6:  Big scare here as they nearly lost to one of the worst teams in the league.  They should get a chance to oil their wheels this week against the Rams.

Pittsburgh:  Record 2-1 (Lost to Eagles 15-6) Last weeks rank: #3:  Got a beat down in Philly last week.  Should be looking to lay the wood on the Ravens this week but may be too banged up to do it.

9) San Diego: record: 1-2 (Beat the Jets 48-29):  Last weeks rank: #13: Finally!  LT is still hurting and can’t cut to his left, but that doesn’t mean this team is dangerous especially with Darren Sproles getting more exposure.

10) Jacksonville: record: 1-2 (Beat the Colts 23-21):  Last weeks rank #14:  Why the Hell does it take you so long to figure out you need to the RUN THE BALL every year Del Rio?

11) Tampa Bay:  Record 2-1 (Beat the Bears 27-24 in OT)  Last weeks rank:  #19: Their not going to continue winning with Greise throwing 342 times a game.

12) Indianapolis:  Record 1-2 (Lost to Jags 23-21 ):  Last weeks rank: #7:   Not sure what the problem is here, I won’t totally give up on them, but they just aren’t the same.  I guess Eli won’t give Peyton’s Mojo back.

13) Washington:  Record 2-1 (Beat the Cards 24-17)  Last weeks rank:  #18:  Jason Campbell has really matured, the D is playing on fire.  I’m impressed, but not sold yet.

14) Arizona:  Record 2-1 (Lost to Skins 24-17)  Last weeks rank:  #11:  Yeah, this is just what Arizona does.  Lose to teams they shouldn’t lose to.

15) New Orleans:  Record 1-2 (Lost to Denver 34-32):  Last weeks rank: #10:  This is just a tough start.  No excuses, last week was horrible, and this team is not as good as people made them out to be.  But I still think they’ll make the playoffs.  Here’s a shocker… Shockey’s hurt.

16) Miami:  Record 1-2 (Beat the Pats 38-13)  Last weeks rank #19:  Ronnie Brown looks healthy and Ricky Williams does too.  This is what I expected to see at the beginning of the season.  Hopefully this gives them the momentum they need.

17) Chicago:  Record 1-2 (Lost to Bucs 27-24 in OT)  Last weeks rank:  #16:  Wow, they need a QB so bad.

18) New England:  Record 2-1 (Lost to Miami 38-13):  Last weeks rank: #8:  Wow, well guess that just about wraps up your season Boston.  HAHA!

19) Carolina:  Record 2-1  (Lost to the Vikings 20-10)  Last Weeks Rank: #15:  Finally reality is starting to kick in.

20) Atlanta:  Record 2-1  (Beat the Chiefs 38-14)  Last weeks rank:  #23:  The coaching is playing this right.  Let Turner beat down the D and Ryan hit receiver downfield when the D loads up on the line.

21) Baltimore:  Record 2-0 (Beat the Browns 28-10) Last weeks rank: #24:  Not bad for a special teams coach.  I don’t expect the clean record to last past this week, but this is almost more wins then I thought they’d get all season.

22) Minnesota:  Record  1-2 (Beat the Panthers 20-10)  Last weeks rank: #21:  Big Gus is enough to keep this team steady, but they won’t go far with him.

23) New York Jets:  Record 1-2 (Lost to Chargers 48-29) Last weeks rank:  #20:  Okay, Brett’s not the answer here, but they played a team really needed to win.  I don’t think they’re this bad at the end of the year, but they are right now.

24) San Francisco:  Record 2-1 (Beat the Lions 31-13)  Last weeks rank: 27: Damn, J.T. Ain’t bad.

25) Houston:  Record  0-2 (Lost to Titans 31-12):  Last weeks rank #17:  Wow, not much better then in their first year in the league.  Hopefully when they are able to practice at home they can get it together… but it’s a long road to hoe for these guys.

26) Seattle:  Record 1-2 (Beat the Rams 37-13)  Last weeks rank:  #32:  Um, I can’t give too much credence to this.  It was a good practice session though.

27) Cincinnati:  Record 0-3 (Lost to Giants 26-23 in OT)  Last weeks rank:  #25:  They showed a lot by not laying down to a tough team.  Nobody expected this, and it’s good to see some life.  But Marvin Lewis is still teetering on the unemployment line.

28) Oakland:  Record 1-2  (Lost to the Bills 24-23) Last weeks rank:  #26:  Al Davis is a schmuck.

29) Cleveland: Record 0-3 (Lost to Ravens 28-10) Last weeks rank: #22:  Awful, rebuild.

30) Detroit:  Record 0-3  (Lost to the Niners 31-13)  Last weeks rank:  #29:  Brutally Bad.

31) St. Louis:  Record 0-3 (Lost to Seattle 37-13)  Last weeks rank:  #30:  Wow, Steven Jackson and Torry Holt just gotta be pissed.

32) Kansas City:  Record 0-3 (Lost to the Raiders 38-13)  Last weeks rank:  #32:  Hey, you’re better then Rams…. Oh wait.
