| Rnk | LW* | Team | Record | Comments |
| 1. | 2. | Indianapolis Colts | 12-0 | Tied the 2006-2008 Patriots for most consecutive regular season wins with 21. |
| 2. | 1. | New Orleans Saints | 12-0 | Remained undefeated in OT thanks to a shanked 23 yarder field goal miss by the newly unemployed Suisham. |
| 3. | 4. | San Diego Chargers | 9-3 | Rejuvenated Broncos not giving them any breathing room. |
| 4. | 3. | Minnesota Vikings | 10-2 | Could another December collapse for Favre be in the Cards? (pun intended, which just makes it sadder) |
| 5. | 5. | Cincinnati Bengals | 9-3 | Lewis' 55th win tied him for second all time in franchise history with team founder Brown only 6 behind Wyche. |
| 6. | 8. | Green Bay Packers | 8-4 | Overcame 11 penalties for 175 yards thanks in part to the Ravens being flagged 12 times for 135 yards. The 310 combined penalty yards tied for second most in NFL history. |
| 7. | 9. | Arizona Cardinals | 8-4 | Impressively held Purple Jesus to 19 yards on 13 carries. |
| 8. | 10. | Philadelphia Eagles | 8-4 | Vick threw and ran for his first TDs since 2006 in his Atlanta homecoming. |
| 9. | 13. | Denver Broncos | 8-4 | Righted the ship just in time for the trip to Indianapolis not to be a must win. |
| 10. | 15. | New York Giants | 7-5 | Stayed alive by improving to 3-1 in the NFC East with a sweep of the Cowboys. |
| 11. | 6. | Dallas Cowboys | 8-4 | December woes continue. |
| 12. | 7. | New England Patriots | 7-5 | Lost consecutive games for the first time since November 2006. Failure to convert a 4th down in the 2nd quarter from the Dolphins' 6 yard line ended up being the difference in a 1 point game. |
| 13. | 18. | Jacksonville Jaguars | 7-5 | Won for the first time this season without MJD scoring a TD. |
| 14. | 19. | Miami Dolphins | 6-6 | Sparano remained undefeated in December as a head coach. Maybe the Cowboys can hire him in the off season. |
| 15. | 20. | New York Jets | 6-6 | Revis sealed the game with his 5th interception of the season and held the streaking TO to 3 catches for 31 yards. If only the Jets hadn't traded up to beat the Steelers to Revis. |
| 16. | 11. | Baltimore Ravens | 6-6 | First team since the 2001 Giants to be penalized 5 times in a single game for pass interference. Lead the league with 13 pass interference penalties. |
| 17. | 12. | Pittsburgh Steelers | 6-6 | Finished 6-2 after starting out 2-6 following their 5th Super Bowl victory. Might be lucky to go 2-6 after starting out 6-2 following their 6th Super Bowl victory. |
| 18. | 14. | Tennessee Titans | 5-7 | Johnson tied Campbell's franchise record of 7 straight 100 yard games. |
| 19. | 16. | Atlanta Falcons | 6-6 | Saw their 8 game home winning streak come to an end. Desperately need Ryan back for next week's visit by the Saints. |
| 20. | 22. | Carolina Panthers | 5-7 | Turned Freeman's 5 interceptions and Stewart's 120 yards rushing into a victory despite absence of Williams. Moore threw 2 interceptions in the absence of Delhomme which was at worst a wash. |

| 22. | 23. | Seattle Seahawks | 5-7 | Won 2 in a row for the 1st time this season. |

| 24. | 21. | Houston Texans | 5-7 | Lost their 4th straight and to add injury to insult Slaton for the season with a neck injury. |

| 29. | 29. | Detriot Lions | 2-10 | Stafford tied Cutler for the league lead in interceptions with 20 before re-aggravating his left shoulder injury in the 4th quarter. |
| 30. | 30. | Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 1-11 | Fired Gruden after last season for only winning 9 games. |
| 31. | 31. | St. Louis Rams | 1-11 | Claussen's likely destination. Could Weis join him as the OC? |
| 32. | 32. | Cleveland Browns | 1-11 | Ranked last in total defense and total offense. |
