The top 5 remains unchanged from last week, with all of our early contenders winning handily. I can promise you this, however: next week, things will change. How do I know? Because next the #4 Saints play the #5 Jets in the biggest game of the season so far.

But this is not the only huge match up looming on the NFL horizon. Curious? Read on!

Rank (LW) Team Record Comments
1 (1) 3-0 The Giants look to have the top spot locked down for a few more weeks as they feast on a lineup of cupcakes. Next stop: Kansas City.
2 (2) 3-0 Just so you don't think I'm being a homer, I promise this right now: if Baltimore wins in New England this weekend, they will be the top team in next week's rankings.
3 (3) 3-0 The transition from Tony Dungy to the other black guy they got to replace Tony Dungy has been seamless.
4 (4) 3-0 The Saints proved two things this week. 1) Drew Brees will not throw 60 touchdowns this year. 2) They don't need him to.
5 (5) 3-0 What a huge game against the Saints this weekend. The unstoppable force meets the immovable object. In my pants.

6 (8) 3-0 If you didn't see the play that ended the game this week, go watch it. That is why Brett Favre can't retire. It's also why he shouldn't.
7 (9) 2-1 They fended off Atlanta at home last weekend. As a reward, they get to host the Ravens this weekend.
8 (10) 2-1 San Diego gets a big challenge this weekend, on the road against an already desperate Steelers team.
9 (11) 2-1 Okay, let's all calm down about the great game by Kevin "the Salad" Kolb this past weekend. It was against the Chiefs.
10 (14) 2-1 Jay Cutler and my sleeper pick have bounced back nicely after that opening week debacle.
11 (18) 2-1 Last week, the win in Green Bay looked like it might have been a fluke against an overrated team. This week the Bengals proved they are for real.
12 (19) 2-1 What? WHAAT?? I'M SORRY I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE DEAFENING ROAR OF HYPE ABOUT BRETT FAVRE PLAYING HIS OLD TEAM THIS WEEK
13 (15) 3-0 This comment will likely remain unchanged until they lose a game: this is as low as I could justify putting a team that hasn't lost a game yet.
14 (13) 2-1 Nothing quite like playing Jake Delhomme to put the swagger back in your step.
15 (6) 2-1 The Falcons missed a chance to cement themselves as one of the league's elite teams.
16 (12) 2-1 That sound you heard on Sunday was the 49ers bubble bursting.
17 (7) 1-2 If I was one of those research-y types...
18 (16) 1-2 ...I'd try to find out the last year that neither Super Bowl participant made it to the playoffs in the following year.
19 (17) 1-2 Boy, I'm glad I'm not a real Texans fan, because if a team I cared about had fumbled on the half yard line after having a touchdown called back in a bogus penalty, I would probably have had no choice but to take it out on my wife. *phew*
20 (20) 1-2 We have a name for people like Bills coach Dick Juaron. That name is "conservative player." (Its a euphemism. I'm not saying for what.)
21 (22) 1-2 It looks like the Seahawks plan of coating their uniforms in radioactive material backfired.
22 (25) 1-2 Did you hear the news? JaMarcus Russell has officially changed his name to JaRyan Leaf.
23 (31) 1-2 We can call off the search party, everybody! Maurice Jones-Drew has been found alive.
24 (32) 1-2 Congratulations. Seriously. It wasn't fun anymore, it was just sad.
25 (24) 0-3 Everybody who bet on the Panthers to cover the spread on Monday night forgot to take into account the inevitable 4th quarter Pick 6 thrown by Delhomme. Sorry about that.
26 (23) 1-2 Jason Campbell: an unqualified black man keeping a job usually held by white men in the nation's capital. HMM, WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE?!
27 (21) 0-3 Ooph.
28 (26) 0-3 So, let me get this straight: this team from south Florida had not one, but TWO quarterbacks named Chad?
29 (27) 0-3 So how's paying $12 million to Tom Brady's backup working out?
30 (29) 0-3 Three games into the season, I am tied with everybody else on the planet for the team lead in rushing touchdowns.
31 (30) 0-3 Here is your challenge: show me the game on the Rams schedule that they can win.
32 (28) 0-3 Here are the results of the Buccaneers drives on Sunday: punt, interception, punt, punt, punt, end of half, punt, punt, punt, turnover on downs.
