32.  St. Louis Lams (0-7)

Only chance at avoiding the 0fer comes this week in Detroit.

31.  Detroit Lions (1-6)

Again, really glad that win's out of the way.

30.  Tennessee Titans (0-6)

I still don't understand how they're this bad.

29.  Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-7)

I like the move to Josh Freeman.  He could be good.  The rest of the team still stinks though.

28.  Washington Redskins (2-5)

Should have taken my own advice and avoided picking them.

27.  Cleveland Browns (1-6)

Wow, there are a lot of bad teams in the NFL if Cleveland is #27.

26.  Kansas City Chiefs (1-6)

So much for being frisky, legitimately or otherwise.

25.  Oakland Raiders (2-5)

They gave the Chargers a game in Oakland.  Let's see how things go in the second home game when the Raider Nation takes over the Qualisseum.

24.  Carolina Panthers (2-4)

You'd think they'd be able to ride their running offense at least a little bit.

23.  Seattle Seahawks (2-5)

Too much bad luck surrounding this beaten up squad.

22.  Buffalo Bills (3-4)

They have a solid defense and a guy who went to Harvard playing QB.  Which side of the ball do you think Buffalo excels at more?

21.  San Francisco 49ers (3-3)

I'm not sure turning the team over to Alex Smith is the answer.

20.  Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3)

This team confuses me the more I think about it.  I still don't think they're good but I'm not willing to completely write them off.

19.  Miami Dolphins (2-4)

Better than their record but solid teams don't reinvent ways to lose games.  That and their passing game stinks.

18.  Chicago Bears (3-3)

I am not at all confident in my survival pick this week.

17.  San Diego Chargers (3-3)

It's easy to get better with their schedule.  I'm looking forward to picking against them in the playoffs.

16.  Houston Texans (4-3)

They need to do a better job finishing games but 4-3 should suit them just fine.

15.  Dallas Cowboys (4-2)

Eh, I'm not sure that the defense is there yet.

14.  Atlanta Falcons (4-2)

This is not a very good road team.  Great at home though.

13.  Philadelphia Eagles (4-2)

They didn't look that great at home against Washington.  A much stiffer test in the G-men this week.

12.  New York Jets (4-3)

Nothing like a little shot of Oakland to make you feel good about yourself.

11.  New York Giants (5-2)

So it's the secondary and the passing game now.  What's next?

10.  Arizona Cardinals (4-2)

That horrible start seems like ages ago now.

9.  Baltimore Ravens (3-3)

Here's their chance to prove a lot of people like me right.

8.  Green Bay Packers (4-2)

Turning things around just in time for some guy named Favre to come to town.

7.  Cincinnati Bengals (5-2)

I have no idea how they're this good.  They'll feel the effects of that huge injury though unfortunately.

6.  Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2)

Big win, but it wasn't pretty.  Still a far cry from last season's form.

5.  Minnesota Vikings (6-1)

Is it time for the Favre collapse yet?

4.  New England Patriots (5-2)

Playing like a video game offense once again.

3.  Denver Broncos (6-0)

They can make a huge statement by beating Baltimore this week.

2.  New Orleans Saints (6-0)

That was a close one.  Nice to come back home after a nail biter like that.

1.  Indianapolis Colts (6-0)

Seriously, when will they start getting credit?
