Top 5 in each conference

[Joe Realist]

AFC

1. Patriots - everyone wrote them off
2. Chiefs - coming on strong
3. Broncos - they lost to the Rams??
4. Bengals - impressive road win
5. Colts - looking forward to that game in Dec

NFC

1. Cardinals - best record in NFL
2. Packers - I enjoyed their game against the Eagles
3. Lions - I don't think they are a fraud
4. Eagles - only because they have tiebreaker - hope to change in 2 weeks
5. Cowboys - what a beautifully timed bye with excellent results

 

[DeaconMoss]

I hate to say it. But the Steelers are better than the colts.

 

[Future]

I still don't believe in the Cardinals or the Lions.

 

[Titleist]

I would have NFC being:
1. Packers
2. Cowboys
3. Eagles
4. Cardinals
5. Lions

[VACowboy]

My only disagreement is Green Bay. I think they're #1.

 

[Doomsday]

I hate to say it. But the Steelers are better than the colts.

Depending on where the game is played.

 

[DeaconMoss]

I still don't believe in the Cardinals or the Lions.

I can see the Lions going 3-3 easily the rest of the way and finishing 10-6.

 

[bayeslife]

There's just no way you can't put Cardinals at #1 just because we don't like their QB, they keep winning games and have the best record in the NFL.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Fixed now

My top 5

1. Dallas- I put them here over GB since we have wins vs Seattle and NO in which they lost. Our offensive approach has been the cause for our success. We are keeping our defense off the field and we are opening up our passing game as well.

2. Green Bay- They have an offense that is tough to stop. They also are equipped with playmakers on defense. They may allow plenty of yrds but they still make enough plays to change the course of the game. One mistake made vs them can lead to a two score swing.

3. Arizona- They beat us with a back up QB at the helm and the game got away late. With Romo we would've won that game. Their defense will carry them into the playoffs, but they will meet their downfall when and if they play GB or us with a healthy QB.

4. Detroit- Their defense doesn't get enough credit. That front four is capable of shutting down a good offense like they did vs GB in the first match up. They can be a sleeper in the post season similar to the NYG teams that won.

5. Philly- As much as I wanted to place SF here, they aren't consistent on offense and that team is a loss away from completely shutting down.

Philly has an offense that can put up points in spurts. They're also getting it done with TO's and points on ST. I believe these guys are a bigger threat to us vs SF.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

How the heck did the Bengals get on this list?

 

[djmajestik]

I still don't believe in the Cardinals or the Lions.

Lions I can see but why not the Cards? Have you seen any of their games? They look pretty legit to me, opportunistic defense, swarm to the ball, even with Stanton in there that O didn't miss a beat. I think they are legit.

 

[Doomsday101]

My only disagreement is Green Bay. I think they're #1.

I agree. Right now GB looks like the team to beat. I could be bias and say Dallas is second but I would put the Cards 2nd and at this time Dallas at 3rd.

 

[StarBoyz83]

I hate to say it. But the Steelers are better than the colts.

Naa the steelers lost to tampa the jets and shouldve lost to the titans. They played with their heads on fire when they played the colts If the play in the playoffs I see a different outcome. Pittsburgh will make the playoffs but wont do much.

 

[CowboyGil]

Hard to argue with the Cards being #1 in the NFC.
I would put Cleveland in my top 5 AFC right now despite the last loss. At #5.

 

[DOUBLE WING]

AFC
1. Chiefs
2. Patriots
3. Broncos
4. Steelers
5. Colts

NFC
1. Cardinals
2. Packers
3. Cowboys
4. Seahawks
5. Eagles

I still don't believe in the Cardinals or the Lions.

me neither. The Cards kind of remind of the Chiefs from last year and the Lions I just don't believe in them at all. I think the Lions will be the team that doesn't make the playoffs. Everyone is looking for that one team out of the clustered teams that won't make it and it might be them.

 

[Direwolf63]

We are going to be pretty hard Patriot fans over the next few weeks. They play both the Lions and Packers.

You can't dismiss the Cards. Excellent defense and good weapons of offense. Packers are unbeatable at home. We need to be a higher seed than them in case we play them.

Didn't miss a beat? They scored 14 points. Only ran for 50 yards and I think they lost the turnover battle. That's unsustainable, even with their defense.

I like that comparison to the Chiefs. I don't think they'll have the same collapse at the end of the year, but I like it.

Detroit has a really good defense though as well, so that factored into Arizona's low scoring output.
