1. (1) New Orleans Saints (11-0). That was supposed to be the Saints biggest challenge and the Patriots got stomped out of the building. New Orleans is a team on a mission.

2. (2) Indianapolis Colts (11-0).  The Colts never seem to be out of a game. They have a 3 game lead on the rest of the AFC so they'll most likely rest starters, even if it will cost them a perfect season.

3. (3) Minnesota Vikings (10-1). The Vikings are the reason the Saints may have an undefeated season. They are right on New Orleans tail.

4. (6) San Diego Chargers (8-3). The Chargers have come from no where to playing for a first round bye. Norv Turner has this team playing up to their potential for the first time in years.

5. (5) Philadelphia Eagles (7-4). The Eagles needed late heroics to beat the Redskins. The schedule only gets tougher from here on out.

6. (7) Dallas Cowboys (8-3). The Cowboys are rolling, but now December is here. Can Tony Romo get that monkey off his back? (By the way, I think that monkey is ridiculous, but for some reason it is there)

7. (4) New England Patriots (7-4). The Patriots have lost every big game they have played on the road, which doesn't bode well for a team that now has to fight and claw to earn more then one home playoff game.

8. (8) Cincinnati Bengals (8-3). The Bengals went back to winning with defense, and now have a 2 game lead in the division.

9. (11) Baltimore Ravens (6-5). The hard luck Ravens are still in a fight for the final playoff spot, despite having a very difficult schedule.

10. (12) Green Bay Packers (7-4). The Packers only bad loss is against the Buccaneers. They are rolling on offense now that Aaron Rodgers isn't on his back for half the game.

11. (9) Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5)
12. (10) Arizona Cardinals (7-4)
13. (14) Atlanta Falcons (6-5)
