Shuffle the ranks

1. Pittsburgh Steelers: It is impossible to understate how well they have played against a grueling schedule. Suddenly they can steal the number one seed in the AFC from Tennessee.

2. Tennessee Titans: Albert Haynesworth injured? Terrible news for the Titans.

3. New York Giants: I think they will be OK in a couple weeks, but it would be nice if they could figure it out against Carolina, before they blow home-field advantage.

4. Indianapolis Colts: Not a pretty season for the Colts, but they are going to win a playoff game.

5. Carolina Panthers: Running game is incredible right now, and making Jake Delhomme look good again.

6. Baltimore Ravens: Same story as the Steelers, but they aren't quite good enough to get past this schedule.

7. New England Patriots: Probably too high for the Patriots, but I am impressed by how they just keep staying in it.

8. Dallas Cowboys: Have played well three weeks straight against good teams.

9. Philadelphia Eagles: Storming back into the mix.

10. Atlanta Falcons: Nice division win, but they have to win on the road in Minnesota.

11. Minnesota Vikings: They will miss Pat Williams against the Falcons and Michael Turner, but I think the Vikings offense will win this game.

17. Chicago Bears: Tough game this week against the Packers.

25. Green Bay Packers: Oops.

28. Cincinatti Bengals: What a nice win, even if Washington has completely collapsed.

29. Kansas City Chiefs: Could they be worse in the 4th quarter?

30. Oakland Raiders: Could they be worse?

31. St. Louis Rams: The Rams could not be worse.

32. Detroit Lions.
