Here are some of my rankings... A more complete version will be created next week.
1. Kansas City Chiefs 7-0
The Chiefs are surprisingly having a phenomenal season. A big thanks from fans should go to Andy Reid, Jamaal Charles, and Tamba Hali. The Chiefs have a possibility of being undefeated at the end of the season.
2. Denver Broncos 6-1
Denver is having a better year than most people expected especially with last year's offensive coordinator Mike McCoy leaving for San Diego. However, John Fox and Peyton Manning made it work and here they are. With a lot of help from emerging starter Knowshon Moreno of course.
3. Indianapolis Colts 5-2
The Colts dominated Manning last Sunday and will look to keep that momentum throughout the course of the season. Irsay put the offense in Andrew Luck and Chuck Pagano's hands and it paid off against the Broncos defense. The Reason that the Broncos are still above the Colts who beat Manning and co. is because the Colts just aren't a top 3 team. Wait for them to win their first playoff game, then we can make those predictions.
4. New England Patriots 5-2
This ranking is gonna cause a lot of hatred, but even though Tom Brady lost to the Jets, they know how to play and play well. The Pats will come back stronger than ever the next few weeks especially with big Rob Gronkowski suiting up.
5. Seattle Seahawks 6-1
Evemn though the Seahawks are 6-1 I had to rank them at number 5 because their passing game. Notice the teams before Seattle all have mediocre to amazing passing games. All of them have a good running game and most of them have solid defense. The 'Hawks have a great defense (second only to the Chiefs) and an amzing running game. However, even with a young star by the name of Russell Wilson throwing the passes, Sidney Rice and Golden Tate can't catch a ball to save their life. We will see if Percy Harvin can live up to expectations as the season continues.
6. New Orleans Saints 5-1
The Saints were close to being the best team in the league. At least until Brady and Belichick decided to play a last-second football drama. The Saints are coming off a bye week in which Rob Ryan and Sean Payton had to reinstall confidence in their players.
7. San Francisco 49ers 5-2
The 49ers had a strong game against a solid Tennessee team. The defense still needs to step up and KAepernick needs to look at Anquan Boldin more since he is the best receiver they've got. However, Vernon Davis has done a good job so far.
8. Green Bay Packers 4-2
The Packers lost two key receivers in Randall Cobb and James Jones, but Jordy Nelson and Jermichael Finley filled those spots well in Sunday's win against Cleveland.
9. Cincinnatti Bengals 5-2
The Bengals are in the middle of the pack because of their defensive troubles. Originally thought to be a top-5 defense, the Bengals have disappointed James Harrison has especially let the Bengals down, but if Marvin Lewis leans more on the pass rush, Harrison might bounce back. But for now, Andy Dalton, A.J. Green, and Giovani Bernard.
10. Dallas Cowboys 4-3
Dallas is having an amazing season especially with Romo, Terrence Williams, Dez Bryant, and Jason Witten clicking. The defense, lead by Sean Lee, has been good, but they can improve. Hopefully, the Cowboys can get some depth at the defensive line. Backup running back Joseph Randle filled Murray's shoes well last week and will try to again against a weak Lions run defense.
11. Carolina Panthers 3-3
Next week I will include descriptions and explanations of almost all of the teams; however, this week I am only giving out explanations for the top 10.
