1.) Saints — Watch the champs make a winter surge.
2.) Patriots — They have faced a brutal stretch of games and passed with flying colors, except for the hiccup against Cleveland.
3.) Jets — Mark Sanchez and Santonio Holmes must have a four-leaf clover tucked in their helmets. The NFL’s 2010 cardiac kids. Will their luck run out?
4.) Eagles – Could end up the top seed in the NFC.
5.) Ravens — Need to make a physical statement against the young Bucs on Sunday.
6.) Packers — Now that’s the Aaron Rodgers I’ve been waiting for.
7.) Steelers — From sacrificing a kicker to juggling his OL, Mike Tomlin had a helluva bounce-back week.
8.) Falcons — I’m still a bit of a skeptic.
9.) Giants — Injuries across the offensive line getting scary. Eli Manning getting too pick-happy.
10.) Chargers — Prepare for them to run over the AFC West.
11.) Colts — I figured 10-6 wins that division; just thought three teams would be fighting for it. They’re no different from much of the NFL right now — need to be at home to get much done.
12.) Jaguars — I know I already called the Jets the cardiac kids, but Jags are unreal with the finishes, too. All those turnovers and they still win? Wow.
13.) Bucs — To go cross-country and beat a desperate team is no joke. They’re gonna give the Ravens a game, too.
14.) Bears — Only team in that division that could push the Packers.
15.) Chiefs — When they get a lead, and stick with their physical approach, they get things done.
16.) Browns — Know they lost, but all of these teams from here on down are flawed and there’s still a lot to like about this upstart bunch.
17.) Raiders — It all fell apart. Richard Seymour went bonkers, Tom Cable made another QB change. That was a bad, bad loss … But they’re still unbeaten in the division.
18.) Seahawks — Yeah they lost, but so did the rest of their division. If Seattle beats Carolina, St. Louis and San Fran it will host a playoff game.
19.) Redskins — Showed some guts rebounding the way they did. Have won fair share of close games.
20.) Dolphins — As inept of an offense performance — coaching and execution — as you will find. The winds of change might be blowing and it could be a rough finish here.
21.) Titans — They have literally run out of QBs. Completely falling apart last few weeks and now Vince Young might not be a part of the future. Wow.
22.) 49ers — It’s over. Troy Smith magic runs out.
23.) Rams – A year from now they’ll be winning some of these heartbreakers they’ve been losing.
24. ) Bills — Chan Gailey proving he can still coach some offense.
25.) Cowboys – A two-game winning streak? How ’bout them Cowboys?
26.) Broncos — Being unable to run or stop the run not a good combination with the weather changing.
27.) Texans — No coaching-change watch could be complete without them now. Even another December scramble might not be enough.
28.) Vikings — Will someone explain to me why the Leslie Frazier/Tarvaris Jackson era didn’t begin weeks ago?
29.) Lions — Still like their long-term prognosis.
30.) Cardinals – A four-win team at best; playing in that division gives ‘em a little bump.
31.) Bengals – If they haven’t quit on Marvin Lewis, then you tell me a more appropriate verb.
32.) Panthers — Hearing Russ Grimm and Ron Rivera could be guys to get looks as head coach in 2011.
