Through week 5, 5 teams remain undefeated, and 4 teams remain defeated. If I told you before the season that the Titans and the Broncos were involved, how many people would put them in the right group? Those aforementioned Broncos finally break into the top 5 after a nice win at home against the Patriots.

The Giants retain the top spot for at least one more week, but after fattening up on cupcakes, it may be time for a trip to the dentist. Dr. Brees and the New Orleans Saints await in what is easily the best matchup of the week.

This weeks big mover are the Seattle Seahawks, jumping up 8 spots to number 15 after a convincing win over the Jaguars. The NFC East has suddenly become super competitive! How big a difference is Matt Hasselback over Seneca Wallace? Read on to find out!


Rank (LW) Team Record Comments
1 (1) 5-0 The season officially begins next week in New Orleans.
2 (2) 5-0 Peyton Manning is the MVP. Just give it to him now...
3 (3) 4-0 ...with apologies to Drew Brees.
4 (4) 5-0 At some point, opponents will have to stop stacking the box against Adrian Peterson, because Brett Favre is proving that he can beat them.
5 (10) 5-0 Uh... so about all that doubting I've been doing this season...
6 (9) 3-1 Have the Eagles not shown anything special with Michael Vick because they don't have anything, or because they haven't had to?
7 (7) 3-1 With games coming up at Atlanta and at Cincinatti, they could easily be back down to .500 in two weeks.
8 (5) 3-2 Will we ever see anything close to the 2007 Tom Brady again?
9 (12) 4-1 Honestly? I still don't know if they are good. But they sure are fun to watch.
10 (15) 3-1 That was a statement game by the Falcons coming out of their bye week.
11 (6) 3-2 There's a line between playing hard and playing dirty, and the Ravens cross it a little too often.
12 (13) 3-2 The Steelers are not closing out games: they have been outscored 13-55 this year in the fourth quarter.
13 (8) 3-2 While last night's loss was disappointing, Miami is a much better team than we had been giving them credit for.
14 (14) 2-2 BOLD PREDICTION ALERT: San Diego will come out of the bye week and beat Denver at home. Okay, maybe it isn't THAT bold, but it will still happen. (Bold predictions are 1-0 this season.)
15 (23) 2-3 With Seneca Wallace taking the snaps, the Seahawks went 0-3 and were outscored 46-82. With Matt Hasselback, they are 2-0 and have outscored opponents 67-0.
16 (11) 3-2 The Niners have a long bye week to think about the whupping they just took.
17 (21) 2-3 I remain amazed at how much better Miami runs the Wildcat offense than everybody else.
18 (18) 2-2 So, Matt Leinart, how have all those off-season workouts with MMA fighters paid off?
19 (16) 2-3 The Jekyll-and-Hyde team played a Jekyll-and-Hyde game, falling just short of the comeback.
20 (18) 2-2 Green Bay gets a chance to fatten up on the Lions and Browns before facing the Vikings again.
21 (20) 2-3 Feast or famine for the Jaguars, who followed up a 20 point win with a 41 point shutout loss.
22 (22) 2-3 Washington has so far played the 0-0 Giants, 0-1 Rams, 0-2 Lions, 0-3 Buccaneers, and 0-4 Panthers. You cannot finish a run like that with 3 losses and expect to contend.
23 (17) 3-2 The opponents in the Cowboys 3 wins are a combined 1-13. The 2 losses came against teams with a combined record of 10-0. In other words, I'm not sure we really know anything about the Cowboys just yet.
24 (24) 1-4 These Lions are light years ahead of last year's team. The fact that they are 1-4 is a testament to the historical futility of the 2008 version.
25 (25) 1-3 A nice comeback win keeps this team's chances for the season on life support.
26 (26) 1-4 I hear doctor's are investigating "playing quarterback against the Raiders" as a possible cure for plantar fasciitis.
27 (28) 1-4 I hardly believed this when I read it in TMQ today: Derek Anderson had a passer rating of 15.1. If you do not complete a pass, your rating is 39. Even more unbelievable?
28 (27) 1-4 The Bills lost the game in spite of Derek Anderson's performance. Ugly times in Buffalo.
29 (30) 0-5 Suzi will confirm the following: when KC lined up for the extra point to tie instead of going for 2 for the win, I predicted they will lose. Great throwback unis, though.
30 (29) 0-5 If Jeff Fisher is such a great coach, then why isn't Vince Young in at quarterback? What does an 0-5 team have to gain by leaving him on the bench in favor if the 70 year old Kerry Collins?
31 (31) 0-5 Steve Spagnuolo, its not too late to come back to the Giants. What's that? I'm being told it actually is too late. Boy, this is awkward.
32 (32) 0-5 Josh Johnson is black? Never would have guessed it.

Did Rush Limbaugh write that comment about Josh Johnson and the Bucs?

All I'm saying is, I tell you that there is a human being named "Josh Johnson" and he is an NFL quarterback, and then let you guess his race, who comes up with black? Nobody, that's who.
