WEEKLY NFL TOP 10

Each Week during the NFL season we will post our weekly Top 10 NFL Teams. We encourage any and all our readers to give us your comments on the weekly poll:

#10 - Carolina Panthers (3-1) A healthy Jake Delhomme, a strong running game and one of the best defenses in the league. So why are they not higher? Simply because every game with them is close, no matter who their opponent. Which in the end leads them to be upset at times.

#9 - Buffalo Bills (4-0) Nobody expected this team to be 4-0, so are they for real? I do not think so, but expect them to continue to lead a weakened AFC East. No Brady, a rebuilding Miami and a Jets team that even with Favre seem to play too conservative to win the big game. Don’t expect a Super Bowl Bills Fans, but 6 more wins this year will get you a AFC East Championship.

#8 - Pittsburgh Steelers (3-1) This team is really banged up, a QB with a bad throwing shoulder, top two RB are both down and out. Yet you can always count on the Steelers to be one of the most resilient teams in the NFL. It will not be an easy road having to play the entire NFC East, but they have no real challengers in the AFC North so expect them to be around come playoff time.

#7 - Tampa Bucs (3-1) Here is there formula, find the oldest QB who can understand Gruden’s playbook terminology, run the ball down people’s throats and hit everything that moves on defense. They have a tough first-half schedule and are 3-1 so far. They will need to find more catches from their WR or it could mean trouble as they move forward and in the playoffs.

#6 - Denver Broncos (3-1) Their offense is the best in the league and their defense is the worst in the league. So bad, my local pop warner team would score 30 points on this defense. They better learn how to stop somebody soon or what started so well could turn bad real fast. A convincing loss to a KC team that couldn't win in the arena football league, keeps them out of our top 5. Expect them to get things straight.

#5 - SD Chargers (2-2) After a tough first two weeks this team has bounced back and could be 4-0. Rivers has stepped up and is starting to understand Norv Turner's offense and they is bad news for the rest of the league. I expect them to keep rolling along in the next few weeks against Miami, New England and Buffalo, so what was once a lost season will soon be a 5-2 team.

#4 - Washington Redskins (3-1) After a rough first week, Jason Campbell looks comfortable in Zorn’s West Coast Offense. They have averaged 26 points over the past three weeks. The verdict is still out if Campbell and this team is deep enough to win the NFC East. Let’s see what they can do @ Philly this weekend before we get too excited.

#3 - Tenn. Titans (4-0) The Titans are 4-0, Vince Young must of finally come of age? No! Then their defense must be out of this world. Winner! The defense has allowed only 46 points in the first four games and Kerry Collins has managed this team with a great combo at RB with Johnson and White. Believe it! They are for real as long as they keep Vince Young off the field. But Jax and Indy will have something to say about this in the end.

#2 - Dallas Cowboys (3-1) Tough loss at home to Washington 26-24, but expect the NFC East to beat up on each other. Still they have too much talent on offense, but as usual their defensive secondary plays too soft and lets too many underneath throws which puts them on their heels. Expect them to roll the next three weeks with Cincy, Arizona and St. Louis.

#1 - NY Giants (3-0) People said their defense would fall apart without Strahan and Umineyora. Don’t be crazy! They have only allowed 43 points and have 13 sacks in the first 3 games. Only question surrounding this team is that they have not been tested yet and won’t be until week 8 @Pitt.
