So do to my lack of expertise when making expert NFL picks, Jesse and I have decided to switch places in our football 69 and I will rank these teams which I apparently know nothing about.

This past week (as we have discussed a little so far) has been quite controversial.  The 4th and 2 by New England was not the right decision in my opinion, but I might be biased based on the pussy NFC East division which is all about field position.

The other decision that not many people are talking about is the kneel-down-instead-of-scoring-a-touchdown by the Jaguars while they were trailing by a point against the Jets.  The Jags decided to bleed the clock and kick what was basically an extra-point field goal to win instead of taking a sure touchdown to take the lead with about 1:30 left.  This might be crazier than Belichick's decision because at least he was leading at the time.  If the Jags botch that kick and miss they lose, when they were given the opportunity to score and didn't take it.  Not many people are talking about that decision because it worked (unless you're a disgruntled fantasy football played that had Maurice Jones-Drew and needed a touchdown to win your match-up and then didn't get it because he took a knee instead).

Anyway, here's MY rankings.  Note that some losing teams may be ranked higher than they were last week and some winning teams might be ranked lower because I disagreed with Jesse's rankings a bit last week.

Rank (LW)	Team	Record	Comments
1 (2)		9-0	The Colts take the number 1 spot because they stopped the Pats on 4th down and beat a very good team, unlike...
2 (1)		9-0	...the Saints, who almost lost their first game. Against the ST. LOUIS RAMS. They've looked very shaky for the last three games.
3 (4)		7-2	This team could be 8-1, and have swept the Steelers and the Ravens. The defense is for real.
4 (5)		8-1	Old Man Favre has his Hoverround on cruise control with this cakewalk of a schedule. I just hope he doesn't fall asleep at the wheel and roll into the Grand Canyon.
5 (3)		6-3	The arrogance of the Great Bill Belichick backfires for the second time... the first being when the Giants beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. GO GIANTS WOOO!!!

6 (6)		6-3	The Steelers got out-Steelered by Cincy. On their last 10 third down attempts, they converted exactly zero of them.
7 (9)		6-3	It looks like this team is slowly getting back to Super Bowl form.
8 (10)		6-3	The Chargers making a late comeback after a slow start while the Broncos fade? Haven't we seen this before? Oh, right... last year.
9 (11)		5-4	Due to some teams ahead of them losing, the Texans fall up into the top 10. Will they finally make the playoffs this year?
10 (7)		6-3	Dallas' annual December collapse is starting a little early this year.
11 (19)		5-4	Green Bay's 4 losses: twice to the Vikings, once to the Bengals, and once to Tampa Bay. Which one isn't quite like the others?
12 (13)		5-4	The bad news: Baltimore only scored 16 points against the Browns. The good news: Cleveland scored 0 points against the Ravens.
13 (12)		5-4	Two trips to the West Coast = 2 losses for the Eagles. 2 concussions for Brian Westbrook in two games could = the end of his season, and perhaps with it the Eagles' playoff hopes.
14 (14)		6-3	What could be worse than a loss to the Redskins? Oh I know... Chris Simms' quarterback stat line: 3/13, 13 yards, 1 INT, 3 sacks, 7.5 QB rating.
15 (17)		5-4	The Giants got a great present from their NFC East opponents during their bye week, as both Dallas and Philly lost. If they fixed their defense over the break they could be back in the driver's seat in the NFC East.
16 (21)		4-5	It might be too little too late for the Panthers' playoff chances, but John Fox and Jake Delhomme might keep their jobs after all thanks to DeAngelo Williams.
17 (23)		5-4	This team has won 5 games! Too bad nobody in Jacksonville knows.
18 (15)		4-5	Miami almost blew that game to the Bucs. What possessed Chad #2 to make that throw at the end
19 (8)		5-4	BOLD PREDICTION ALERT: The winner of the Giants-Falcons game this week gets into the playoffs.
20 (24)		3-6	Have you heard? The bird, bird, bird is what Tennessee owner Bud Adams flips to the City of Buffalo when the Titans beat the Bills.
21 (16)		4-5	Remember when this team was 2-0 and then Brett Favre beat them with a last minute Hail Mary? Beating (or at least failing to lose to) the Bears on Thursday was only their second win since then.
22 (20)		4-5	It seems like such a long time ago that New York was buzzing with talk of a Giants-Jets Super Bowl.
23 (18)		4-5	Jay Cutler has thrown at least 2 interceptions in 4 of the Bears 9 games, and has only gone 2 games without one so far this season.
24 (32)		3-6	The Redskins rushed for over 170 yards against the Broncos without Clinton Portis. A nice win, but Jim Zorn's head coaching job has been long gone for weeks now.
25 (27)		2-7	You beat the Raiders. So what? Who cares? *tugs at shoulders of his sweater*
26 (22)		3-6	Has it really only been 4 years since this team was in the Super Bowl?
27 (28)		1-8	They put up a good fight against the Saints. This team is starting to play better. And by this team I mean Stephen Jackson.
28 (29)		1-8	Almost pulled off another upset in Miami. This team is also starting to play better.
29 (25)		3-6	Quick, name the three teams that Buffalo has beaten. Sorry, you lose, thanks for playing.
30 (26)		2-7	Hey Eagles fans, you lost to this team! HA!
31 (30)		1-7	Look on the bright side, you've already increased on last season's win total by a factor of infinity.
32 (29)		1-7	I have one name for you: Brett Ratliff, your 3rd string quarterback. Brady Quinn is in the third year of his 5-year, $20.2M contract and Derek Anderson is in the last year of his 3 year, $20M contract. Over $40M for two fo the worst quarterbacks in the league? WHAT. THE. FUCK.
