1. (1) New England Patriots (12-2) The Patriots are 7-0 at home, but they were 8-0 at home last year and lost to the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs at Gillette Stadium when they gave up 33 points, so New England is going to need to shore up its inconsistent ...Published on: 30th November, 2010
1. (1) New York Jets (9-2) Jets-Patriots should be a minor upgrade from Niners-Cardinals in the Monday Night Football lineup. 2. (2) New England Patriots (9-2) Tom Brady and the Patriots rallied from a halftime deficit at Detroit on Thanksgiving to blow out the Lions and set up the much-anticipated rematch with the ...Published on: 21st September, 2010
1. (1) New Orleans Saints (2-0) The Saints are 31st in rushing offense and they just lost Reggie Bush; but they still have Drew Brees. 2. (4) Green Bay Packers (2-0) Clay Matthews' six sacks are two more than anyone else in the NFL. 3. (7) Pittsburgh Steelers (2-0) Lawrence Timmons ...Published on: 4th January, 2010
1. (1) Indianapolis Colts (14-2) As expected, the Colts' starters didn't see much action in snowy Buffalo, and so Peyton and the boys will enter their divisional playoff contest on Jan. 16 or 17 without having won a game in 30 or 31 days. Still, I can't see ranking Indy anywhere but first because ...Published on: 29th December, 2009
1. (1) Indianapolis Colts (14-1) It was disappointing to see Jim Caldwell pull Peyton Manning in the third quarter to prevent him from getting hurt, when the quarterback gets sacked less than any starter in the league. Now that they are no longer undefeated, I can't see any reason why any of the ...Published on: 22nd December, 2009
This past weekend featured a number of upsets and last-minute victories, leaving us with eight teams battling for the final two playoff spots in the AFC. It should be a fun last couple of weeks in the NFL. 1. (1) Indianapolis Colts (14-0) Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis played sparingly, but the ...Published on: 15th December, 2009
1. (1) Indianapolis Colts (13-0) After setting a new NFL record with 22 consecutive regular season victories and clinching home field advantage throughout the playoffs, the only question remaining is whether the Colts will let their starters play the full 60 minutes over the final three weeks in their quest for ...Published on: 1st December, 2009
Well, it's December and we still have two undefeated teams (for the first time in NFL history). The Saints remained unbeaten by blowing out the Patriots, 38-17, a much more convincing victory than the Colts' 35-34 win over New England in Week 10. Because of that, New Orleans jumps ahead of ...Published on: 24th November, 2009
1. (1) Indianapolis Colts (10-0) The oddsmakers had the undefeated Colts underdogs at Baltimore, expecting a letdown after that incredible comeback win over the Pats. Peyton Manning, however, is never an underdog. 2. (2) New Orleans Saints (10-0) For the fifth straight contest, New Orleans was not ahead after one quarter of play. ...Published on: 17th November, 2009
Parity returned to the NFL for one week as six underdogs pulled off upsets on Sunday. But the two biggest Super Bowl favorites - the Colts and Saints - managed to avoid falling from the ranks of the unbeaten by the slimmest of margins. So where does this all leave ...
