1. Baltimore---still number 1. Their pass D will get tested this week by Pats
2. NY Jets---lone loss was by 1 point to Ravens. If Sanchez limits mistakes they are very tough
3. Pittsburgh---get their QB back this week.
4. New England---will be interesting to see the offense minus Moss. Deion Branch is no Moss.
5. Indianapolis---workmanlike win over Chiefs. May be giving them the benefit of the doubt this high
6. Atlanta---the best of a terrible NFC? Cleveland isn't great but still not easy to win a non-conf game on the road.
7. NY Giants---D has looked like a monster the past 2 weeks.
8. Tennessee---Fisher's teams always are physical.
9. Philly---team didn't seem to miss a beat w/Kolb at QB last week.
10. Kansas City---played better than the 10 pt loss indicates at Indy. Bowe dropped a sure TD and the defense really harassed Manning.

Texans/Chiefs game should be intersesting. Texan's defense is simply horrible. I'll be taking Chiefs and whatever points given to me.

Me too! My son is flying in from Vancouver and we're driving down for the game and catching a Wild/Canucks hockey game on the Tuesday! Looking forward to it! Too bad the Twins didn't hang around!

Chiefs are not top 10 imo

Lets face it, Saints would be -7 at KC

Dolphins get there Special teams together, they can move up. Tough Sched so far

KC impressed me in the game at Indy. They frustrated Manning all day. Their team speed was every bit as good as Indy's. Score should've been much closer as Bowe dropped a sure TD pass. You could see the improvement in team speed in the season opener when they handled San Diego.

New Orleans could be a 7 pt fave (at home; NOT in KC; the Colts were only a 7 1/2 pt HOME fave vs KC and Indy is superior to NO this season) but only due to square/public money. The Saints have been the Aints; 0-5 now against the spread. No running game whatsoever with no Thomas or Bush. They beat an 0-5 SF team by 3 pts, and an 0-5 Carolina team (at home no less) by 2 pts.

I think both ny teams are rated too high. I know they haven't looked great but the saints are still a top 10 team

Valuist makes a good case agst the Saints and for the most part I agree. But the subject is Power Rankings and the Saints as far as Power Rankings go are still in top 10 imo

Saints were 6.5 at CARDS, but you are correct, I made mistake, Saints would be around -5 at KC
