New York Giants<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Raiders are a poor excuse for a professional football team.  The Saints will be a major test for Big Blue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. New Orleans Saints<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are no excuses this week with the Giants coming to town and an extra week to get ready for the visit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong><br \/>\nMcNabb has more weapons than at any other time in his career.  He only needs to stay healthy to take advantage of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Minnesota Vikings<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Vikings look a lot like the Giants: good defense, big running game, and a passing attack that seems to discover new weapons each week.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Atlanta Falcons<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Falcons apparently spent their time wisely during the bye week.  The 49ers were playing well before Sunday.  The Falcons ended it early.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Chicago Bears<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Bears face a stiff test in Atlanta on Sunday night.  The run defense needed to have figured some things out during the bye week.  The Falcons run game will expose all the cracks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Denver Broncos<\/strong><br \/>\nThe defensive turnaround has been miraculous in Denver.  The new Orange Crush threw a second half bagel at Brady and company.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Cincinnati Bengals<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Bengals get their first look at the top-ten in Jetnation history.  I had to add \u201cBengals\u201d to my spell check.  Not even Word could believe it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>10. Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong><br \/>\nIt should easily be three wins in row for the Steelers with the Browns coming to town.  Things are looking brighter for champs as their all-world safety should be back when the schedule gets tougher.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nick Ferraro 1.
