AFC:
1. Pittsburgh
2. Houston
3. Denver
4. New England
5. Baltimore
Indy would be 6th. This is a week-to-week league, so Pats drop by virtue that the other teams won while they were idle. Big Ben is continually one of the most under-appreciated stars of the league. Dude is an insufferable douchebag, but he's a born winner and has been carrying that team for years now. I would not bet against him and that stacked WR corps if the playoffs started today--at least not in the AFC. Baltimore is an incredibly weak 6-2, and I'm just waiting for the bottom to drop out on them.
NFC:
1. Chicago
2. New York
3. Atlanta
4. Green Bay
5. San Francisco
Da Bears. Yes, they still have massive problems on the O-line, but Forte is picking up steam and Cutler is using a formula that always works: keep throwing to Brandon Marshall. Their defense and ST's are ridiculously good. They took a much worse team to the NFCCG in 2010 and were on course for another playoff berth last year before injuries to Cutler and Forte derailed their season. This team has a lot of room for improvement, but at 7-1 I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Black coaches are just figureheads most of the time, but Lovie Smith teams always play above their talent level and expectations--and now we're seeing what he can do with a talented squad.
The Giants--specifically Eli Manning--have played like dogshit the last several weeks but cheated death until it caught up with them this week. This team needs to wake up offensively--they certainly have the talent. Green Bay gets the 4th spot b/c no matter how great Rodgers is--and he's the best--they won't go far in the playoffs with that passing D and down their top 2 WRs.
