VICK and the Eagles are Flyin' High



5. Pittsburgh Steelers (10-3 -W4) vs Cincinnati 23-7

The Steelers win without scoring an offensive touchdown in Sundays game..oh yah they played the Bengals..Two defensive TDs for the Steelers was the only bright spot as the offense continued to sputter. Up next? A reeling Jets squad.


4. Philadelphia Eagles (9-4 -W2) at Dallas 30-27

The Eagles are playing tough with MVP canidate Mike Vick and the offense is capable of scoring on every play. The D hasn't been too bad either with 30 takeaways. They'll be tested next week against the Giants as they play for 1st place in NFC East.

3. New Orleans Saints (10-3 -W6) vs St. Louis 31-13

The Saints push their winning streak to 6 with another decisive win. Drew Brees has hit his stride and will continue to put up big time numbers. They have three key games to end the season (Ravens, Falcons, Bucs) and winning all three should give them first in the NFC South and a first round bye which is scary for every NFC team.

2. Atlanta Falcons (11-2 -W7) at Carolina 31-10

The Dirty Birds keep on winning and only have one real test left (Seattle, New Orleans, Carolina). The Offense is playing well and the D is doing just enough. With their only two losses coming on the road Home field advantage throughout would help.

1. New England Patriots (11-2 -W5) at Chicago 36-7

They've won 10 of their last 11 and the Offense continues to get better as the season progresses. If Aaron Rodgers plays this weekend it will be a good test for their young defense. You gotta assume they win at least 2 out of 3 and wrap up Home Field advantage..making them pretty much unbeatable.

On the outside looking in: Ravens, Giants, Jets, Jags, Packers
