NFL Midseason Rankings

Saints looks like a different team now than the first 4 weeks, and have destroyed the last two teams they played. Offense is clicking again, and the defense has been decent. Probably a top 3 team in the NFC, imo.

I think, right now, they're a tossup with the Giants. I'm a believer.

Titans, Broncos without Walker, Vikings, 49ers, Redskins, Jags, Dolphins, probly Bucs, Raiders, Ravens, Bears, Falcons. Yea thats probably good.

Plus he has Westbrook.

No kidding. Ranking them #8 seems to be a bit of an overreaction to AP's record setting game. Sorry, but you can't be a top ten team with a losing record halfway through the season.

8. Vikings - To high, they matchup well against running teams and against teams who don't defend the run well. They will struggle against teams that can pass and stop the run. Jags with QB + Bucs + Saints ahead of htem.

16 Browns > Seahawks and Eagles. 1 loss to best team eva, 1 loss to 3/4th best team in the league, 1 loss on missed FG.

22. Saints- Far to low. Started season crappily, I'll take last year + last 4 games as much better indicators going forward.

Re: Eagles. Redskins are a top 16 team by almost any measure I can think of, and Eagles are less than 3 point dogs against them. Better than the 3-5 record indicates (solid PD, difficult schedule). I'm pretty sure I'm right on the Eagles.

Yes, the chargers are 4-4, not 5-3. Doh.

Bengals are +4 against Ravens on the road, so there might be something there (on the other hand, Chad Johnson). I could be wrong here. PF-PA is pretty bad, schedule strength isn't brutal. (or maybe the Ravens are better than WE think). Probably right, less confidence than normal.

Minnesota's PF-PA = 12, they've faced a tough schedule. Might be too high at 8, but they're not a bottom half team.

Saints - I don't know. I am not discounting the 1st 4 games, they had a sudden improvement last year, I think they might have played a bit over their heads last year. I might be wrong on this one, but that's my guess.
