| RK / (Hi/Lo) | Team | Record | Comment |
| 1 / (1/1) |
|
1-0-0 | Drew Brees makes any defense look vulnerable. (Conoon) |
| 2 / (2/5) |  Ravens |
1-0-0 | If the Ravens continue dominating on defense and get their offense into rhythm, they may be the best team in the league. (Conoon) |
| 3 / (2/3) |  Colts |
0-1-0 | As long as Manning can breath still, they belong in the top 5. (Arjan) |
| 4 / (4/4) |  Packers |
1-0-0 | Not out of the gate as many thought; still the Packers are a tough team to beat. (Gene) |
| 5 / (5/10) |  Patriots |
1-0-0 | New England seemed to possibly start slow this season, but taking out Cincinnati and making them look like rookies shows they deserve a better ranking than originally predicted. (Genna) |
| 6 / (3/6) |  Vikings |
0-1-0 | Without having Sidney Rice and the entire offseason to practice, Favre is struggling to find comfort with his offense. (Conoon) |
| 7 / (7/14) |  Texans |
1-0-0 | Tough Running game… and they haven’t even shown what they can do through the air. (Gene) |
| 8 / (8/8) |  Cowboys |
0-1-0 | All around good team— if only they had a good quarterback. (Arjan) |
| 9 / (9/16) |  Steelers |
1-0-0 | Great D… if Dixon can win a few more games they will be tough to beat. (Gene) |
| 10 / (6/10) |  Bengals |
0-1-0 | As poorly as they played, the Ravens better watch out this week against TO and Ochocinco. They don’t like to lose, especially the way they did on Sunday. (Genna) |
| 11 / (7/11) |  Chargers |
0-1-0 | Bad start, but they will still win their division. (Gene) |
| 12 / (12/18) |  Giants |
1-0-0 | 3 interceptions by Eli already? At least he scored once for every ball he handed over. (Conoon) |
| 13 / (6/13) |  Jets |
0-1-0 | They have a real question mark with Sanchez; they had trouble running too. But their D-line held the Ravens rushing attack in check. (Gene) |
| 14 / (13/15) |  Titans |
1-0-0 | Playing slow at first, and though Vince Young played a bit rookie-esq, they still have Chris Johnson. (Genna) |
| 15 / (11/15) |  Falcons |
0-1-0 | Ryan and Turner should progress this year and find themselves in the playoffs. (Arjan) |
| 16 / (16/21) |  Redskins |
1-0-0 | McNabb can still make plays. The win over Dallas was a huge [confidence builder]. (Gene) |
| 17 / (13/18) |  Eagles |
0-1-0 | The Eagles seemed to start [pulling] it together once Michael Vick came in for side-lined Kevin Kolb. [Vick] claimed [the Eagles] would have played better had he been in the game more; we will see if that is true in week two… (Genna) |
| 18 / (17/22) |  Dolphins |
1-0-0 | Overall, Henne and the Dolphins had a mediocre performance in their win over the Bills. (Conoon) |
| 19 / (12/19) |  49ers |
0-1-0 | What happened??? (Conoon) |
| 20 / (20/30) |  Chiefs |
1-0-0 | An impressive win over the Chargers. They won in all 3 phases of football: offense, defense, and special teams. (Conoon) |
| 21 / (21/29) |  Seahawks |
1-0-0 | Peter Caroll made a statement by scoring 31 points against a 49ers defense. (Conoon) |
| 22 / (17/26) |  Panthers |
0-1-0 | They must improve upon both their passing defense and offense. (Conoon) |
| 23 / (20/23) |  Broncos |
0-1-0 | McDaniels will be fired by year end. (Arjan) |
| 24 / (22/24) |  Jaguars |
1-0-0 | 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions by David Garrard. What’s the catch you say? Only 170 passing yards is my reply. (Conoon) |
| 25 / (14/25) |  Cardinals |
1-0-0 | Almost lost to the St. Louis Rams… (Conoon) |
| 26 / (23/26) |  Bears |
1-0-0 | You beat the Lions. So did 99% of the NFL [in] the last 2 years. (Arjan) |
| 27 / (25/32) |  Rams |
0-1-0 | Bradford and Clayton, with a solid run game by Jackson, might equate to some wins this year. (Conoon) |
| 28 / (21/28) |  Raiders |
0-1-0 | Jason Campbell is decent, [but] still bad team. (Arjan) |
| 29 / (28/30) |  Bills |
0-1-0 | C.J. Spiller [can't] do it all. (Arjan) |
| 30 / (28/31) |  Lions |
0-1-0 | It should have been a TD, but it [wasn't]. Find a way to win. (Arjan) |
| 31 / (29/32) |  Buccaneers |
1-0-0 | Nothing to be proud of yet. (Conoon) |
| 32 / (27/32) |  Browns |
0-1-0 | A loss to the Buccs places this team at the very bottom. (Conoon) |
SaintsThis week’s rankings were based on a poll of our staff writers: Conoon Kim, Gene Winner, Genna Wittstadt, and Arjan van Leuven.
