1Colts ยท Trends1They should send Belichick a Christmas card. What a gift. They face a tough road game this week at Baltimore.
2Saints ยท Trends2They probably learned a valuable lesson against the Rams: Anybody can challenge you on any Sunday. They need to be careful when playing lesser teams.
3Vikings ยท Trends3Get ready for the playoffs. The NFC North belongs to the Vikings. It's obvious nobody else in that division is in their class.
4Bengals ยท Trends5You believe? You have to now. They've beaten both Baltimore and Pittsburgh twice. That's a statement right there.
5Patriots ยท Trends4They are still in control of the AFC East, but don't lose this week against the Jets. Then it's another story.
6Steelers ยท Trends6The champs have a wild-card look about them after being swept by the Bengals. That's OK. They won a Super Bowl a few years back taking that route.
7Cowboys ยท Trends7Just when they start feeling good about the way they're playing, they go and lay an egg in Green Bay. Who was that in Tony Romo's jersey?
8Broncos ยท Trends8It's amazing how quickly their season has turned around. Now they play the Chargers with a gimpy Kyle Orton and first place on the line.
9Chargers ยท Trends12They have a chance to take over first place in the AFC West this week if they can win at Denver. That's hard to believe after their start.
10Cardinals ยท Trends10The division title is theirs unless they have a disaster. Now they have to work on playing better at home because they will have a home playoff game.
