NFL Week 11 Rankings

The Fab Five

1. Colts (10-0): The Colts have won three big games the last few weeks. Although they haven't been demolishing teams, they have kept winning. If they beat the Texans and Titans the next two weeks they'll have a shot at going undefeated.

2. Saints (10-0): The Saints haven't been part of a marquee match up since they destroyed the Giants in Week 6. They now take on the Patriots on Monday night at the end of a long football weekend. It's hard not to start to lick your chops at the prospect of watching those two offenses go at it.

3. Vikings (9-1): Week after week, I keep expecting some kind of drop in Favre's form, but it just isn't happening. If he doesn't falter soon, the Vikings will have wrapped home field advantage through the playoffs before you know it.

4. Chargers (7-3): Interesting game with the Chiefs coming this weekend. About a month ago, the Chargers crushed the Chiefs at Arrowhead 37-7. After the Chiefs victory against the Steelers last week, I have a feeling they won't find this game so easy.

5. Patriots (7-3): My gut tells me the Pats are better than the Chargers. But they've lost more recently, and after the Chargers looked so impressive against the Broncos, I had a hard time dropping them down. The Pats can change that on Monday.

The Fat Five

32. Browns (1-9): Good news: the Brown managed to put together a lot of offense last week. Bad news: that offense came against the Lions that on average give up 30 points a game.

31. Buccaneers (1-9): The Bucs were actually up 7-0 over the Saints with 4 minutes left in the first quarter. Then New Orleans poured on 38 consecutive points. Josh Freeman also tossed up 3 interceptions and coughed up a fumble in the game. The Bucs will be hoping that after his first two successful starts teams haven't already figured out how to stop him.

30. Rams (1-9): Another 100 yard rushing day for Steven Jackson, another loss for the Rams. Who says the NFL isn't predictable?

29. Lions (2-8): Detroit beat bottom team Cleveland on Sunday but it took a last second pass interference call on a Matthew Stafford desperation heave. Stafford also hurt his non-throwing shoulder in the contest, and the Lions really need him right now.

28. Seahawks (3-7): Seattle has only beaten the Rams, Jags, and Lions this year. Hardly an impressive list. They got trounced by the Vikings last weekend, and slip into the bottom after the Raiders and the Chiefs came up with upset wins.
