1. Chicago Bears – The Bears are the early-season favorite in the NFC after throttling Seattle.
2. Indianapolis Colts – The Colts got an MVP-type drive from Manning to win against the Jets. They shouldn’t have needed it.
3. Baltimore Ravens – The Ravens got a win against a quality opponent Sunday. They’ve allowed just 33 points in their four games.
4. Philadelphia Eagles – We have a week of T.O. going back to Philly stories to look forward to now.
5. Seattle Seahawks – Seattle needs a healthy Alexander in the lineup to win against elite teams.
6. Atlanta Falcons – Eventually the Falcons will need a win against a team they can just run over.
7. Denver Broncos – The Broncos found their running game against New England. They’ll need it on Monday night to beat the undefeated Ravens.
8. New England Patriots – Just when everyone was ready to throw dirt on the Pats…
9. San Diego Chargers – The Bolts had the Ravens beat but couldn’t finish.
10. Cincinnati Bengals – The Bengals have now lost their last six games at home against winning teams.
