Media Credit: VICKI VALLERIO/ KRT SMILES IN THE STEEL CITY: Head coach Bill Cowher and starting quaterback Ben Rothelisberger enjoy their win over the Philadeplhia Eagles last week.

1. Pittsburgh- beating the Patriots is a great feat, beating the Eagles is a great feat, but beating them in back to back weeks? The Steelers have snuck up on everyone

2. Eagles- they lost to the hottest team right now in the NFL, but they will back next week are still the best team in the AFC.

3. Patriots- They easily handled the Rams, but my cofidence in Tom Brady continues to wane.

4. Colts- The great left handed shovel pass from Peyton Manning proves this guy is the best QB in the NFL.

5. Chargers- Another big surprise in West.

6. Falcons- they pretty much have the divison locked up.

7. Broncos- I don't believe that that Jake Plummer had lead this team anywhere but down.

8. Jets- losing to Bills?

9. Vikings- With no Moss, this team has looked flat in the last two weeks.

10. Ravens- This is a solid team, and their defense keep them in it.

11. Seahawks- They play the Dolphins next season so they should get a win.

12. Jaguars- No one thought this team would lead the divison halfway through the season.

13. Packers- This team has made a strong comeback from a 1-4 start.

14. Giants- Losing Micheal Strahan for the season might knock the slippers off this Cinderella team.

15. Texans- their lacking defense will keep this team out of it.

16. Rams- Very inconsistent in recent weeks, they had a shot at the Pats, but couldn't close them out.

17. Cheifs- It is impossible to predict this team.

18. Buccaneers- They are pushing, but let's wait and see before we judge them.

19. Lions- A team that is only getting weaker.

20. Browns- Don't let the close loses fool you, this is not a good team.

21. Bills- The cold weather might help them steal some more wins.

22. Titans- This team needs to make an uncanny run to make the playoffs.

23. Redskins- The great return of Joe Gibbs wasn't so great after all.

24. Cowboys- The great return of Bill Parcells wasn't so great after all.

25. Cardinals- Dennis Green has started a good rebuilding.

26. Bengals- too much orange and not enough toughness.

27. Bears-no team can suceed without a QB.

28. Saints- no comment

29. Raiders- Just when I bet against them, they start playing good ball.

30. 49ers- no comment

31. Panthers- too many injuries have sunk this team to the bottom.

32. Dolphins- FINALLY DAVE IS GONE! Too bad he has already destroyed a once great franchise.
