Why should you read them? Well, you probably shouldn't. But I'm posting them anyway.
(Note: I did this last week, but I didn't post them.)
32. Rams (Last week: 31) - If you think that Jim Haslett can do a better job coaching your team than the guy you hired to coach them in the first place, you need to consider firing yourself.
31. Lions (32) - Not to rain on the parade, Lions' fans, but is there any reason to believe that the ownership that hired Millen and inexplicably kept him around forever will make a better decision this time?
30. Texans (29) - Competitive against the Jaguars - now they get a slew of home games to try and climb up the ladder.
29. Bengals (27) - Don't lose that game with Palmer in. That said, winning that game would only get them to 28.
28. Browns (28) - See?
27. Chiefs (30) - Great win, one or two more of those and I'll be ready to forget about them getting trounced by the Raiders.
26. Raiders (25) - I can't see how any reasonably intelligent person would take this job. There is one heck of a good head coach available.
25. Falcons (20) - It's tough to win on the road with a rookie quarterback, but if they can get over that hump, they could be a pretty good team.
24. Vikings (18) - Looks like Gus Frerotte isn't going to lead them to glory, after all.
23. Cardinals (11) - Yikes! Was that simply the result of the worst coaching decision ever, or is there something fundamentally wrong with this team that the Jets uncovered? Stay tuned.
22. Seahawks (21) - Finally have a healthy receiving corps. It'll be interesting to see what they can do.
21. 49ers (19) - This is a very tough team to figure out. That's all I got.
20. Jets (26) - All credit to Favre for a great game, but I think me and 21 other posters on this site selected at random could beat a football team that just spent an entire week hanging out at Tyson's Corner.
19. Patriots (24) - Do the Patriots shoot right back into the conversation with a dominating post-bye performance, or does a loss to San Francisco put them in the NFL's basement?
18. Colts (17) - Colts and Pats at 18 and 19? How the mighty have fallen...
17. Jaguars (13) - I'm sorry, but I can't take a team that needs a 4th and 8 scramble from their oversized QB to beat the Texans at home (in overtime!) seriously. I just can't.
16. Dolphins (23) - How do you move up 7 spots in your bye week? By a lot of other teams proving to be garbage.
15. Packers (9) - If Aaron Rodgers isn't healthy, they'll be sliding even further.
14. Ravens (12) - Tough loss, but it looks like the Ravens finally found their quarterback. Too bad Brian Billick couldn't be alive to see it.
13. Eagles (4) - Donovan McNabb is 31, and Brian Westbrook is 29. I'm guessing health problems will be plaguing the Eagles' backfield all year long.
12. Bears (22) - All of a sudden they look like the beasts of the NFC North.
11. Buccaneers (15) - Great win by a team that is once again playing great defense. Brian Griese is looking awfully Brad Johnson/Trent Dilfer-esque.
10. Saints (14) - After everybody slammed their defense when they went on the road to play consecutive games against what have turned out to be pretty good offenses, the Saints showed a lot by smoking a decent 49er team at home.
9. Chargers (10) - This team seems to be missing something, I can't quite figure out what it is...Oh wait, I remember; Norv Turner is their coach.
8. Broncos (3) - Well, that's a loss that'll bring you back down to reality in a hurry. This defense needs to get fixed, pronto.
7. Steelers (6) - It's pretty obvious now that they will be in a battle with the Ravens all year long.
6. Panthers (16) - I may have had them too low last week, but that loss to Minnesota is still a puzzler.
5. Bills (8) - At this point in the season, an undefeated record has to be worth a spot in the top 5.
4. Cowboys (1) - A riled up Dallas squad has the Bengals coming to town in a game made for your suicide pool. Assuming you weren't dumb enough to pick them last week.
3. Redskins (7) - They came. They saw. They conquered.
2. Titans (5) - Can Kerry Collins really QB a Super Bowl team in this stage of his career?
1. Giants (2) - Well, they are the Super Bowl Champions after all.
