| Rnk | LW | Team | Record | Comments |
| 1. | 1. | Chicago Bears | 7-0 | Average margin of victory is 22 points. |
| 2. | 2. | Indianapolis Colts | 7-0 | Manning and company face their greatest nemesis on Sunday night in Foxboro after going to Denver and winning impressively. |
| 3. | 4. | New England Patriots | 6-1 | What will Belichick have up his sleeve for Manning? |
| 4. | 7. | New York Giants | 5-2 | Barber's early retirement announcement has yet to have a negative affect on the field despite Irvin's repeated ravings on ESPN that Barber is quiting on the team. |
| 5. | 8. | San Diego Chargers | 5-2 | Merriman dropped his appeal this week so that he doesn't miss both games against the Broncos. That should be OK at home against the Browns and Raiders. Not as good in Cincinnati and Denver. |
| 6. | 9. | Atlanta Falcons | 5-2 | Vick and Crumpler have owned the AFC North the last 2 weeks. |
| 7. | 3. | Denver Broncos | 5-2 | Defense was exposed by Manning and Wayne. Of course other teams don't have those kind of weapons. |
| 8. | 12. | Baltimore Ravens | 5-2 | Billick's offense made him look like a genius for at least a week. |
| 9. | 5. | New Orleans Saints | 5-2 | Colston continues to outplay Bush. Not bad for the 252nd pick of the draft. And that is not really meant as a rip on Bush. Well, maybe a little. |
| 10. | 6. | Cincinnati Bengals | 4-3 | Too bad Ocho Cinco can't play defense. Or the interior of the offensive line. |
| 11. | 19. | Dallas Cowboys | 4-3 | It's Romo time. |
| 12. | 18. | Jacksonville Jaguars | 4-3 | Garrard is 5-1 as a starter the last 2 seasons. |
| 13. | 17. | Kansas City Chiefs | 4-3 | LJ seems to be getting used to life without Roaf. |
| 14. | 10. | Minnesota Vikings | 4-3 | Weren't ready for prime time against the Patriots. |
| 15. | 11. | Seattle Seahawks | 4-3 | Ridiculously easy schedule makes them unlikely to miss the playoffs despite the injuries and the Super Bowl runner-up jinx. |
| 16. | 13. | Carolina Panthers | 4-4 | Continue to emulate Jekyll and Hyde. This time within the same game. Completely fell apart in the fourth quarter at home after taking a 14 point first quarter lead. |
| 17. | 14. | Philadelphia Eagles | 4-4 | McNabb has looked awful during the 3 game losing streak. What happened to the MVP candidate of the first 5 weeks? |
| 18. | 15. | St. Louis Rams | 4-3 | Can't be happy that Merriman decided to appeal his suspension. |
| 19. | 16. | New York Jets | 4-4 | Took a big step backwards in Cleveland. |
| 20. | 22. | Green Bay Packers | 3-4 | Green and Morency combined for 207 yards rushing against an overmatched Cardinals front 7. |
| 21. | 20. | Pittsburgh Steelers | 2-5 | The fall from Super Bowl Champions to embarrassment has been remarkably swift. Hard to win with a -3 turnover differential and 2 interceptions returned for touchdowns. Even when outgaining an opponent by 262 net yards. |
| 22. | 21. | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 2-5 | The 2 game mini-win streak with Gradkowski at the helm came to a screaching halt in the swamps of Jersey. |
| 23. | 27. | Tennessee Titans | 2-5 | Still can't figure out why they signed Collins and started him at the begining of the season. |
| 24. | 28. | Cleveland Browns | 2-5 | Hung on when a pass to Baker in the corner of the endzone during the final minutes was ruled out of bounds. Whether Baker could have come down in bounds without the shove from Pool is a question that can never be answered. |
| 25. | 25. | Washington Redskins | 2-5 | Let's see if all the high paid coaches figured out what adjustments to make during the bye week. |
| 26. | 26. | Buffalo Bills | 2-5 | Desperately need the light to come on for Losman. |
| 27. | 23. | San Fransisco 49ers | 2-5 | Decent offense, no defense.... |
| 28. | 30. | Oakland Raiders | 2-5 | ....good defense, no offense. The California Bay Area could field a pretty good lineup. Unfortunately they have 2 teams. |
| 29. | 24. | Houston Texans | 2-5 | Carr was pulled and then outplayed by Rosenfels. Let the QB controversy begin. |
| 30. | 29. | Detriot Lions | 1-6 | At least you can't lose when on a bye. |
| 31. | 31. | Arizona Cardinals | 1-7 | Can Green survive the season? The bye week? |
| 32. | 32. | Miami Dolphins | 1-6 | Got the week off to figure out what has been going wrong. A trip to Chicago is probably not going to help right the ship. |
