 SK: Despite injuries, Texans just keep getting it done.
 JF: Schaub has the Texans in the playoffs, but how long can they last?
 2

falcons.png  SK: Wasn't expecting that defensive performance against the Saints.
 JF: Remained perfect at home with impressive defensive performance vs. Saints.
 3

patriots.png
 SK: Peyton Manning has the Broncos reliving their dominating days from the 90's.
 JF: Continue to win in different ways as others find new ways to lose.
 4 patriots.png broncos.png  SK: Another AFC East title for the Patriots.
 JF: Manning to Thomas is looking a lot like Manning to Harrison used to.
 5 49ers.png packers.png  SK: Will Harbaugh go back to Smith this weekend?
 JF: Held off the Vikings to pick up eighth win. Sitting in a really good spot.
 6 packers.png
49ers.png
 SK: Losing Starks should hurt, but the Packers don't seem to be bothered by injuries.
 JF: Tough loss to pesky Rams, but the Niners have to get back on the horse.
 7
ravens.png
ravens.png  SK: Can't be considered elite if you lose to Charlie Batch at home.
 JF: Should not have lost to the banged up Steelers. RG3 & red-hot 'Skins up next.
 8 bears.png colts.png  SK: Questions marks with the defense? Didn't see this coming three weeks ago.
 JF: They are immune to losses right now.
 9
colts.png
giants.png
 SK: Another come-from-behind late game victory for Andrew Luck.
 JF: Apparently they weren't as good as they appeared to be against the Packers.
 10 bengals.png

 SK: Could be the most dangerous team in the AFC if they reach the postseason.
 JF: The Bengals defense is nothing to sneeze at. Telling game this week vs. Cowboys.
 11 seahawks.png seahawks.png  SK: Russell Wilson has made me a believer.
 JF: Proved they can win with a little bit of offense and a whole lot of defense.
 12 bears.png  SK: RGIII, just wow. Can't say enough good things.
 JF: Proved they can lose with a little bit of offense and a whole lot of defense.
 13 giants.png
redskins.png
 SK: There has never been a team I've been more confused by.
 JF: Don't look now, but the Redskins are clamoring for a playoff spot.
 14 steelers.png  SK: Have the Buccaneers fallen back to earth?
 JF: Inspired play from Charlie Batch was the difference against the Ravens.
 15 steelers.png buccaneers.png  SK: Who was that young gun at QB that led the Steelers to a victory?
 JF: Led the Broncos at the half last week, but couldn't keep up in the second half.
 16 cowboys.png rams.png  SK: As must win as it gets in Cincinnati this weekend.
 JF: Took the season series vs. 49ers, now need to improve against everyone else.
 17 vikings.png vikings.png  SK: Losing Harvin for the season hurts Vikings playoff' chances.
 JF: Apparently they have a running back that no one can stop. Yet they still lose?
 18 dolphins.png  SK: Saints season looks to be bleak.
 JF: Maybe Tannehill can get back on track in San Francisco. Nah, probably not.
 19
rams.png
cowboys.png  SK: Will be a playoff team next season. Book it.
 JF: Must-win game in Cincinnati for Cowboys.
 20 bills.png saints.png  SK: Beat the Jags, but who hasn't?
 JF: Brees won't play as bad as he did in Atlanta the rest of his career.
 21 dolphins.png bills.png  SK: What has happened to their once promising season?
 JF: Crushed the Jags and now try to keep slim playoff hopes alive vs. Rams.
 22 jets.png
lions.png
 SK: Greg McElroy, your table is ready.
 JF: Continue to look brilliant at times on offense, but manage to foul it up at the end.
 23 browns.png browns.png  SK: Promising future. Could be a scary team to deal with down the stretch.
 JF: Browns finally got a win on the road. Must beat KC this week at home.
 24 lions.png jets.png  SK: Situation still a mess in Detroit.
 JF: One point better than the Cardinals.
 25 chargerslogo2012mockdraft.png cardinals.png  SK: I'll say it again, Has Norv Turner been fired yet? 
 JF: One point worse than the Jets.
 26 titans.png chargerslogo2012mockdraft.png  SK: Why do they have Jake Locker throwing so many passes?
 JF: Will the Chargers win any of their remaining four games? Outlook not so good.
 27 cardinals.png titans.png  SK: Losing skid could hit nine this week.
 JF: 45 passes from Locker in a 24-10 loss last week is a sign of what not to do.
 28
eagles.png  SK: Could these be Ron Rivera's final three games as an NFL head coach?
 JF: Brown is filling in nicely for McCoy, but the Eagles are DONE.
 29 jaguars.png panthers.png  SK: Tim Tebow to Jacksonville in 2013? Hey, why not?
 JF: I've soured on the Panthers rather quickly.
 30 eagles.png jaguars.png  SK: Misery in Philly. At least Bryce Brown has been a bright spot.
 JF: I guess we gave Chad Henne too much credit.
 31 chiefs.png chiefs.png  SK: Emotional victory for Kansas City. Good to see Brady Quinn getting a chance.
 JF: KC gets a win and moves out of the basement.
 32 raiders.png raiders.png  SK: More than likely will have double-digit losses after Thursday's game against DEN.
 JF: Home loss to Browns has the Raiders searching for answers.
