Comments:
The Chiefs climb up to the #2 spot. I'm not sure I buy them as the second best team in the league, but there's not really a dominant team in the league right now (especially after the last two games the Broncos played), and there's a lot to be said for being 6-0.
And the 49ers climb into the top 10. Given the way their offense struggled against the Cardinals, I'm still not on them. They've got a couple tough road games coming up, at the Titans and at the Saints, that should show if this team really belongs in the top 10.
So I guess we can add the Texans to the list of teams that are way worse than they were last year. This is an amazing example of how fast and how hard a team can fall apart when they lose their confidence.
Are we going to have a team go 0-16 this year? The Giants came pretty close to winning their last two, so they should win one (and with the Vikings coming to town, maybe on Sunday).
The Buccaneers have also came pretty close to winning a couple times, including two weeks ago against the Cardinals. They also play the Rams in week 16, which could be their best chance for a win.
That leaves the Jaguars. They haven't finished closer than within 10 points of their opponent (and even then, thanks only to the Raiders giving up a garbage time touchdown). The Jaguars best hope for a win may be either their week 11 game against the Cardinals, or else hope the Colts don't have anything to play for in week 17, and decide to rest all their starters after the first quarter.
