What a difference a week makes as 3 of my top 5 lose including #1 Indy. This could be a reoccurring theme during the season but that's what the NFL wants. Who would've thought that after 4 weeks that KC would be the last of the undefeated teams.
1. Atlanta -- Almost by default they inherit the top spot moving up from #2 last week. A gritty come from behind win over SF. They truly only allowed 7 points on defense as the other came on a blocked punt. They have Cleveland on the road this week. A game they should win.
2. NY Jets -- Up from #5 last week and a nice stifling win at Buffalo. Buffalo had more than 1/2 of their yards in the 4th quarter when the game was in hand. They had 120 yards after 3 quarters in offense. Jets D was tough and their offense did enough to seal the deal. They play on MNF against the Vikings. I expect another big Jet win at home.
3. Baltimore -- What do I need to say... DEFENSE. Sure they took on Pittsburgh without Big Ben but were trailing late in the 4th and did enough to get it done. If their offense gets on the same page.... watch out.... Denver on deck...
4. New England -- Any doubts about Brady and company? Yes.. where's the high powered offense? The special teams carried them over Miami in a big way on Monday night and I think we will start to see the NE of old very soon. They have a bye this coming weekend.
5. Green Bay -- Really a crap shoot for #5 but they seem to be the top of a heap of many teams including Saints, Texans, Chiefs... A tougher than expected time with Detroit, perhaps a hangover from the Bears last week. They travel to Washington in what will be a very tough game for them.
Bubbling Under
KC -- we get to see how for real they are at Indy this week.
Houston -- let's see how they fare against a resurgent NYG D
Odd facts:
AZ Cardinals tied for three way tie for first in NFC West scoring only 58 points in 4 games but giving up 118. How man do the Saints lay on them?
Buffalo is a league worst at -64 at 0-4 and is the worst team in the NFL. Sorry Carolina you don't get that honor quite yet.
