Rankeroo

No changes in the top seven this week. They didn't all win, but none lost. The middle continues its muddled ways, and the bottom has a few new-comers. Excitement!

1. Tennessee Titans: Another big win. How will they handle the up and down Colts?
2. Pittsburgh Steelers: They play a consistent and balanced brand of football, something that most teams could learn from this year.
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Like the others in the Top 5, they took care of business.
4. New York Giants: Too bad they lost to such a bad team. They'd still be in the top spot otherwise.
5. Buffalo Bills: I was wrong about this team. Will they continue to prove me wrong?

13. Chicago Bears: A win's a win, but they have a lot of work to do if they want to get out of the wildcard round.
17. Green Bay Packers: I need to see more. Two dominating wins in a row, though.
22. Minnesota Vikings: Huge day on offense, but you can't win when you give away points.

28. Cleveland Browns: They are better than the four teams below them, but they just aren't going to win a lot of games this year.
29. Kansas City Chiefs: One week they show some fight. The next they get completely embarrassed.
30. Seattle Seahawks: Another team that just isn't very good.
31. Cincinnati Bengals: There's a lot of fight in this team, considering.
32. Detroit Lions: With Roy Williams gone, they have nothing to even remotely scare opposing teams. Calvin Johnson can't do it all.

Experts: Silver continues to love the NFC North (at least relative to the rest of 'em).
