1. Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong>
\nThe Steelers won on Thursday a lot like they did all year last year: Big Ben throwing and the defense giving up next to nothing.\u00a0 Can they do it again without a running game?<\/p>\n

2. New England Patriots<\/strong>
\nThat wasn\u2019t exactly what the Pats had in mind for the opener, but Brady led them on a winning drive, and he will just get more comfortable every week.\u00a0 Their opponents have to be happy though to see some of the more obvious chinks in the armor.<\/p>\n

3. Indianapolis Colts<\/strong>
\nThe Colts still are still operating under the radar among the major contenders.\u00a0 They are also still finding ways to win close games against Jacksonville.<\/p>\n

4. Atlanta Falcons
\n<\/strong>It was a solid performance from the Falcons.\u00a0 The Dirty Birds are the NFC\u2019s version of the Titans.<\/p>\n

5. Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong>
\nA road opener in Carolina figured to be a tough spot.\u00a0 Delhomme wanted to make sure the Eagles had it easy.\u00a0 The Eagles don\u2019t get anywhere near the preseason predictions if McNabb can\u2019t stay healthy.<\/p>\n

6. New York Giants<\/strong>
\nThe Giants can handle the Skins.\u00a0 Everyone knows that.\u00a0 They get a chance to make a real statement on Sunday in Dallas.<\/p>\n

7. Tennessee Titans<\/strong>
\nI can\u2019t drop the Titans for losing a tight game on the champ\u2019s home field.\u00a0 This is a good team who will likely be in foul mood this Sunday.<\/p>\n

8. Baltimore Ravens<\/strong>
\nHow did the Chiefs have the game tied with two minutes left?\u00a0 I can\u2019t see the Ravens being successful over the long haul as a shootout team, no matter how much progress Flacco has made.<\/p>\n

9. Dallas Cowboys<\/strong>
\nThe Cowboys won handily behind several big plays on Sunday.\u00a0 They get to make us start to care if they can beat Giants.<\/p>\n

10. New York Jets<\/strong>
\nThe Texans offense is not as bad as they looked on Sunday.\u00a0 That was the Jets making them look bad.\u00a0 With a win this week, people outside New York and New Jersey will notice the other team that plays in the Meadowlands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
