The Patriots seem to always win the close games, but they are playing with fire.

3) Seattle Seahawks, 2-0 (13:2)

Seattle’s defense is ahead of the offense, a rarity for a Mike Holmgren team.

Linebacker, David Pollack’s season ending injury is a damper to a great start.

Quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger’s ongoing health is still a major concern.

The Bears have played as good as any team in the NFL so far.

The Falcons are playing like a hungry team, and they make another jump up.

8) Baltimore Ravens, 2-0 (15:1)

Ravens’ dominant defense is finally on speaking terms with its offense.

This week’s game at Seattle ends a brutal stretch to open the season.

11) Dallas Cowboys, 1-1 (14:1)

The Dallas defense must continue to play stellar to win ballgames.

12) San Diego Chargers, 2-0 (12:1)

Dramatic overtime loss to the Giants may haunt this team the rest of the season.

This week’s game against Chicago will be the true barometer for Minnesota.

The team will play better with Steve Smith, but they are running out of time.

17) Miami Dolphins. 0-2 (50:1)

Quarterback, Daunte Culpepper is almost single-handily killing their playoff hopes.

18) Washington Redskins, 0-2 (50:1)

Mark Brunell will continue to be the quarterback, at least for one more game.

19) Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 0-2 (100:1)

Quarterback, Chris Simms has a famous last name. Maybe he should change it.

20) New Orleans Saints, 2-0 (75:1)

A win over Atlanta on MNF would cap an amazing start to the season.

21) Arizona Cardinals, 1-1 (75:1)

Arizona’s loss at Seattle was a statement game. The statement was they stunk.

22) Buffalo Bills, 1-1 (75:1)

Buffalo has played well both weeks, and could easily be 2-0 right now.

The 2006 offense is simply not what the Kansas City fans are used to seeing.

24) St. Louis Rams, 1-1 (75:1)

Loss at San Francisco was a major letdown after a home win over Denver.

25) New York Jets, 1-1 (200:1)

Passing game will have to keep producing to offset woeful running attack.

The Lions have scored 13 points in two games, that won’t get it done.

27) San Francisco 49ers, 1-1 (200:1)

Entertaining offense will likely make a lot of fantasy football players happy.

28) Cleveland Browns, 0-2 (300:1)

Gary Baxter injury could cause both of their cornerbacks to be out.

29) Green Bay Packers, 0-2 (300:1)

Worst team in the NFC is still better than three of their AFC counterparts.

30) Houston Texans, 0-2 (500:1)

Drafting Mario Williams over Reggie Bush could be grounds for temporary insanity.

31) Tennessee Titans, 0-2 (1,000:1)

The best thing about Tennessee is they are slightly less terrible than Oakland.

32) Oakland Raiders, 0-2 (300:1)

The Raiders have been outscored 56-7 in two weeks. That is incredible futility.
