2. New York Giants: Way to snap back into it in time to save home-field advantage. Now they will probably rest for the Vikings.
3. Pittsburgh Steelers: I'll give them a break. With this schedule, you are going to lose on the road a couple times.
4. Indianapolis Colts: Win, win, win.
5. Baltimore Ravens: Huge win over Dallas, the kind that should get them a ton of respect.
6. Carolina Panthers: I don't see this team going far in the playoffs.
7. New England Patriots: They look pretty good to me. Too bad they are going to miss the playoffs.
8. Atlanta Falcons: Matt Ryan is the real deal, but their defense is going to lose them a playoff game.
9. Miami Dolphins: About as consistent this year as any other team.
10. Minnesota Vikings: No other team gives away more games that they should win.
12. Chicago Bears: They are starting to look destined for a playoff spot. Or maybe the Packers and Saints are just proving how bad they are.
26. Green Bay Packers: What an awful, awful second half. Losing streaks don't just happen.
28. Oakland Raiders: Nice, unexpected win over Houston. Will they reach .500 next year? Doubt it.
29. Kansas City Chiefs: This team cannot hold on to a lead. Ever.
30. Cleveland Browns: Bruce Gradkowski gets the start this week. Not sure what to say.
31. St. Louis Rams: So the Dolphins added Chad Pennington and have won nine more games than they did last year. Maybe the Rams should look into signing Matt Hasselbeck, their version of a long-time divisional rival...
32. Detroit Lions
