1. Seattle Seahawks – The Seahawks jumped all over the Giants to end the suspense early Sunday. Their reign at the top of this list will be tested without Alexander.
Â
2. Indianapolis Colts – The Colts still have the feisty Jags at arms length in the AFC South.
3. Cincinnati Bengals – The Bengals grabbed a victory from the jaws of defeat Sunday. They also set themselves up for a major run at the division title.
4. San Diego Chargers – I am interested in seeing the Bolts line up against a quality opponent.
5. Chicago Bears – The Bears can establish themselves as the early-season NFC favorite with a win Sunday over Seattle.
6. Jacksonville Jaguars – The Jags had the better of the Colts for the first half, but they didn’t take advantage of it.
7. New Orleans – The run defense and play of Drew Brees gets the Saints into the top ten for the first time ever.
8. Philadelphia Eagles – The Eagles are very dangerous when Westbrook is healthy.
9. Baltimore Ravens – The Ravens were less than impressive Sunday, but road wins are scarce in this league, and they got one to stay undefeated.
10. Atlanta Falcons – Asking Vick and company to win in the Superdome on a Monday night in the first game since Katrina is almost unfair.
