Getty Images1. Broncos (four first-place votes):? The only difference between Peyton?s new team and his old team is that the Colts would have been more likely to start 10-0 before going 2-3.
2. Falcons (one first-place vote):? In less than three weeks, we?ll find out whether this Falcons team really is different.
3. Packers:? Twenty years after the Vikings kept the Packers out of the playoffs via a Week 17 drubbing in the Metrodome, the Packers can return the favor.
4. Patriots:? Tom Brady is getting upset, and Rob Gronkowski is getting closer to a return.
5. Seahawks:? They may have peaked a bit too early, but no one has been better than the Seahawks have been the past three weeks.
6. Texans:? They may want to change their name to the Beaumont Boo Birds, based on the impatience that a 12-win season has created among the fan base.
7. 49ers:? If this keeps up, Alex Smith eventually will refuse to run the Wildcat.
8. Redskins:? One of the greatest rivalries in sports has the highest stakes since the 1982 and 1972 NFC title games.
9. Vikings:? They?ve finally found a way to take advantage of an opponents? obsession with stopping Adrian Peterson.
10. Bengals:? Seven years after the Bengals thought they were finally leapfrogging the Steelers, maybe the Bengals finally are.
11. Ravens:? Even with a win over the Giants, the Ravens have the look and feel of an underachiever.
12. Cowboys:? Based on Sunday?s outcome, maybe Jerry Jones should try to hire Joe Vitt, not Sean Payton.
13. Colts:? Like the Super Bowl-winning Colts from 2006, this team can?t stop the run.? Unlike the championship edition of the franchise, a healthy Bob Sanders isn?t showing up for the playoffs.
14. Bears:? The team that hates the Packers more than any other suddenly loves them on Sunday, since a Green Bay win over the Vikings is a key ingredient in a postseason appearance by the Bears.
15. Giants:? Sometimes, if you wait too long to find the light switch, you may realize that the light switch isn?t there.
16. Saints:? The only thing left to root for is the Falcons to lose before qualifying for the Super Bowl to be played in the Superdome.
17. Steelers:? Forty years to the day after they arrived as an elite franchise, the sun finally could be setting on the Steelers.
18. Rams:? Once this team becomes consistent, it?ll be consistently impossible to beat.
19. Panthers:? Cam Newton?s bump of Jerome Boger was neither entertaining nor iconic.
20. Dolphins:? Three touchdowns will get Reggie Bush paid.? But probably not by the Dolphins.
21. Chargers:? Norv Turner?s audition for the Jets? offensive coordinator job went about as well as it could have.
22. Browns:? It?s officially become don?t-buy-green-bananas time for the coach and G.M. in Cleveland.
23. Bills:? An owner who hasn?t bought green bananas in 14 years could soon be cleaning house.
24. Buccaneers:? This franchise eventually may have to ask itself whether it truly has a franchise quarterback.
25. Titans:? Why do we have a feeling that Bud Adams and Ralph Wilson will soon be engaged in a tug-o-war for Jon Gruden?
26. Jets:? Just when the team seems like it can get no more dysfunctional, it finds a way.
27. Cardinals:? They continue to be who we thought they were.
28. Lions:? When Jerry Rice set the record that Calvin Johnson just broke, Rice already had four Super Bowl rings.? In contrast, Johnson has four wins.
29. Eagles:? The good news?? Mike Vick has another chance to improve his free-agency stock.? The bad news?? Mike Vick has another chance to hurt his free-agency stock.
30. Raiders:? Another week, another chance to be reminded of another USC quarterback who can?t get it done at the next level.
31. Jaguars:? It may not be a ?virtual certainty? that Tim Tebow will be a Jaguar in 2013, but it is a ?virtual certainty? the team will still stink.
32. Chiefs:? The folks in Kansas City may finally be ready to send the franchise back to Dallas.
