Welcome to Week 7 of the NFL. The season is almost over! I think I just shed a tear. Okay, that tear might be because of the Giants' performance over the last two weeks.

The Saints retain their top spot, but the Colts and Saints are really 1 and 1a. How good are the Colts? The undefeated talk has already begun. In fact, I think I'm beginning it.

At the bottom, a pair of 0-7 teams are fighting for the bottom spot. But who is really the worst team in the league? I smell a bold prediction!

Rank (LW) Team Record Comments
1 (1) 6-0 The Saints showed resilience in coming back against the Dolphins, but they also showed their vulnerabilities.
2 (2) 6-0 The Colts, on the other hand, haven't shown a single crack the armor. They'll be 8-0 when they meet the Patriots on Sunday Night Football. If they get through that game, it might be time to start talking about 16-0.
3 (4) 6-0 Will the Broncos be able to keep their streak going when they visit a suddenly desperate Ravens team next week?
4 (5) 5-2 Insert joke about Patriots invading England here.
5 (8) 5-2 The Bengals shook off last week's loss in a big way against the Bears.
6 (9) 5-2 The Steelers look like they might finally be shaking off their Super Bowl hangover.
7 (3) 6-1 It was in the 50s on Sunday, and Old Man Favre was already showing the effects of the cold. That is not a good sign for the Vikings.
8 (10) 4-2 Fucking Cardinals. Watch them get blown out next week. I didn't even look up who they are playing.
9 (7) 5-2 The talk of the first 5 games was how well the Giants receivers were playing in the absense of Plaxico Burress. The last two games have seen this young group take a major step back. On my scrotum.
10 (15) 4-3 Owen Daniels is arguably the best tight end in the league right now.
11 (19) 4-2 They still need to beat a good team on the road before I give them anything resembling a real chance at contending this year.
12 (6) 4-2 I'm confused?
13 (17) 4-2 BOO PHILLIES GO YANKEES
14 (11) 3-3 San Fransisco is 0-2 since signing Michael Crabtree after a surprising 3-1 start. And he hasn't even played in a game yet!
15 (13) 3-3 Quoth the Ravens, "What the fuck happened the last three games?"
16 (16) 3-3 The Bolts look to have shaken off their early season slump. But with Denver out to a 3 game lead in the division, is it too late?
17 (18) 4-2 Forget all the noise about Brett Favre's homecoming: next week is a must win for the Packers if they want to win the NFC North.
18 (12) 3-3 From Week 5's power rankings: "With games coming up at Atlanta and at Cincinatti, they could easily be back down to .500 in two weeks."
19 (20) 4-3 Whatever.
20 (14) 2-4 Miami played another great game against a top team. Don't count them out just yet.
21 (21) 3-3 Rawr!
22 (22) 2-4 Squawk!
23 (23) 1-5 Rawr.
24 (27) 3-4 Is Trent Green's career done? He's had two concussions and he's only 23.
25 (24) 2-4 The Panthers still have the same great running game as last year. Their reason for a poor start is entirely due to Jake Delhomme.
26 (25) 2-5 So what quarterback will the Raiders be drafting next year? JaMarcus Russell has the 34th worst QB rating in the league. 34th! THERE ARE ONLY 32 TEAMS!! (this is not a joke, this is actually true)
27 (26) 1-6 The only QB with a rating worse than JaMarcus? Derek Anderson.
28 (28) 1-6 Do you think Kansas City fans are insulted by the insinuation that there are 4 teams in the league worse than them?
29 (29) 2-5 BOLD PREDICTION ALERT: Washington will lose the rest of their games this season to finish 2-14 (bold prediction record: 1-1, 1 pending)
30 (32) 0-6 Having a bye week was the best thing that could happen to this team. Now if only they could have ten more of them.
31 (30) 0-7 I am thisclose to picking the Lions in my suicide pool next week against the Rams. That's how bad they are. I would think about picking a team on a 1-20 streak to win in a SUICIDE POOL against them.
32 (31) 0-7 In their defense, losing a home game to "host" the Patriots in London is stupid.

I'd argue with you on the 2-14, but defending a team's ability to go 3-13 is too depressing.

Washington still has Oakland on their schedule, but other than that the rest of the season looks very, very tough. Oh, and also they are horrible.

Two errors this week:

1) Michael Crabtree played last week.
2) Trent Green is now an analyst on the NFL Network (and I think he has more than two concussions), Trent Edwards is the Bills quarterback that you're referring to.
