I just gave the Dolphins (who I simply do not trust at all) a bit of credit for winning in Cleveland 23-10 (similar to how Detroit, my #7 beat them)....and a shit ton of credit for winning at Indy. Indy even beat Seattle at home.

I feel like the 49ers, Bengals, Packers and maybe Ravens are better.....but for right now with what they've done they are my #8 over those others I considered.

Colts won @ SF 27-7....and have beaten the Seahawks

I know the Pats just beat the Saints, and have just one loss, and have Tom brady, but man I am not buying their success. I just dont think they have enough on offense to be a legit contender behind the broncos. Maybe when Gronk comes back it changes, bu

1. Broncos
2. Seahawks
3. Colts (pending tonight. If they win, #2, if they lose, #4)
4. Chiefs
5. Saints
6. Niners
7. Packers
8. Bengals

Not ranking on head to head, or even W/L. Just how they have looked out there and how I project them to finish with the rosters they have.

I just tried to rank for how they impressed overall games so far, quality wins with a little bonus and head to head when you go on the road and dominate.

To me head to head matters, but not that much. At the end of the year, everyone has beaten everyone (based on transitive property). So I try to go off of the whole body of work. Road games in primetime (like the Colts can get tonight) are more impressive to me than beating Seattle at home, despite the opponent.

How you win also says something. Packers rack them up, but dont seem to be dominating at all, but still more than the Pats. Bengals have sooo much talent, but Dalton is a major flaw and they are inconsistent. Probably the 2nd or 3rd most talented team in AFC, but they are barely ranked in the top 8 overall for me.

I get all that and mostly agree....just was asking for top 8's right now.

Id probably have the same 8 I listed. Possibly drop SF out and move GB/Cincy up then insert Pats at 8.

I'll take a win at home over Seattle over a win on the road in SD on MNF.

Just look at tonight. Home teams during primetime are different beasts. This would no doubt in my mind be a better win for the Colts than any home win outside of next week versus the Broncos.

The Colts just aren't playing very well lol I've watched the entire game. SD doesn't look like they're playing out of this world.

Seattle is really, really good. I think they're 1a and 1b with Denver, I really do. Denver is really good, but they have really benefitted form a weak schedule. Jacksonville, Oakland, Dallas, Philly, NYG. Their only good win was Baltimore and they're not great this year.

And i've watched every one of Denvers games this year; Sunday ticket + Peyton as my fantasy QB.

Just wondering how a team goes from 4th to at best 9th with a road loss on MNF?

Of course, they looked atrocious, but still...
