If I get one more email asking me for this.....
This NFL Top 10 will be based on a bettor's perspective, rating teams not on their record, but their current strength.
1) Tampa Bay - Bucs out first down the Panthers 25-14 and outgained them 397-258. But TWO blocked kicks, one on a Tampa Bay field goal attempt and the other on what would have been a game-winning extra point by Martin Gramatica, kills the defending champs. PS...Gramatica had never missed an extra point in his career (129 attempts)
2) Miami - Miami got the monkey off it's back...make that GORRILLA...when they beat the Jets in the Meadowlands for the first time in 6 years. Ricky Williams went for a buck and a quarter and the Dolphin D showed they could play well on the road.
3) Oakland - Another game like the last two and you may not see this team listed the next time you vistit this site. For the second week in a row the offense sputtered and the Raider's stop unit made journeyman Kitna look like Joe Montana.
4) Denver - Plummer rebounded nicely from last week's embarrassing debut by going 9 of 13 for 93 yards and 3 td's before suffering a mild separation of his right shoulder. Of more concern to the Denver hierarchy...Clinton Portis suffered a bruised sternum.
5) Indianapolis - How about that Colt defense. Just 13 points surrendered in two games and they make a statement to the Titans.
6) Kansas City - Down 10-0 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first quarter. No problem with their offense. And so much for the concern about Priest Holmes' off season surgery, as he goes for 122 yards and 3 scores!
7) Pittsburgh - Steelers lost at Arrowhead but that will happen to a lot of teams this year. The offense was crisp for the second week in a row and the secondary, maligned, and rightly so, played very well, picking Green twice.
8) New York Giants - If there was a silver lining in Monday night's loss to the Big Tuna, it was the way the New Yorkers came back from that 15 point fourth quarter deficit.
9) St. Louis - In the first half, the still adjusting Ram offensive line was horrible, unable to pick up the Niner blitzes, as Warner was probably glad he was on the sidelines. But the final 30 minutes Bulger had time and the Rams got the win.
10) Tennessee - McNair said his dislocated ring finger didn't affect his throwing. Yea right!
