I'll be interested to see how they play against NE, but with their schedule...there is no excuse for them to not win 14 or 15 games.

Are your ratings based more on how talented a team is or how a team plays?
Titans may very well be talented but they haven't played like it. The same can be said for the Eagles, Chargers, etc.

Some of the Vikings games have been close while the Saints have blown out most of their opponents.

I also base it on where teams can expect to land. Basically, if the playoffs were to start today...who would be the strongest teams. If I'm wrong...I'm wrong. We still have 11 weeks to figure it all out.

Tell me Philly wont be there at the end...regardless of one bad game.

Well, thats why this is fun, ain't it? If any of us knew the answers for sure they wouldn't have to play out the games.

And I say Philly ends as an 8-8 team or so - mediocre to a fault

I say 10-6...but who knows. I also think Tennesee finishes with 6 wins before it's all over

I think Baltimore needs to put up a big time winning streak otherwise they are screwed.

I think Pittsburgh wins our division and I have no faith that we will sweep them. I do think we make a good game of it though. I think the Vikings are the best team and that the Saints are just another big offensive team that will get rolled come playoff time.

The Eagles are a 10-6 team, the Giants are a 12-4 team and if they meet the Saints in the playoffs it's bye bye Brees. The Broncos are monsters and while I'm not really sure they could beat the Colts or the Steelers I think that they are probably the third best team in the NFL.

Who can stop the Saints?

Obviously the Vikings can because thier your #1 team.

I really think they will lose the next 2 games before thier bye. I think thier a good team but not great. Solid rankings though besides them.

I just think the Minnesota defense hasnt played to their full potential yet and eventually they will wake up. Once they do...they'll stop allowing the Ravens of the world to score 31 points. If they don't...the rankings will eventually change

I say Saints first, and Colts second. Just my opinion. Both teams have great offense and defense. The Colts just haven't played many good teams.

Only changes I would make is N.O at #1 and Philly much lower.

Other than that, looking great!

Its not about what thier potential is. Its about what they are doing now. If thats the case you should put the Patriots number 1 because they havn't reached thier full potential yet.

Same with the Steelers, Chargers, and Cowboys.

That's why I think Saints should be #1 in my opinion... Though this Vikes D COULD be scary, I'm not sold on it right now... They allow too many plays IMO...
But you have argued your point and I respect it...

It's not easy to determine who should be #1...
Saints? Vikes? Colts? Broncos (after all, we defeated some good football teams).

My top 5 would be :
1. Saints
2. Vikes
3. Colts
4. Broncos (because I like it when we are underrated )
5. Giants

I would have picked Steelers over Eagles too... but well...

Good job

That argument applies just as equally to the Vikings opponents. The Vikes have beaten the Browns, Lions, an overrated 49ers team, a Green Bay team with a decimated OL at the time, the Rams, and a mediocre Ravens team.

The Ravens are the best team that the Vikes have beaten and IMHO the Giants are better than the Ravens. Therefore, comparing opponents beaten, the Saints have beaten the higher quality opponents and teams.

uhhhh........the broncos in the superbowl?

We thought Baltimore would be their first test. I guess Pittsburgh is their first real test. I think Pittsburgh comes out on top.
