5. New England (3)	Pats allowed San Francisco 49ers to finish only eight points shy of their nickname.
6. Green Bay (6)	Packers had four victories by 20 or more points last season. They have none this year.

17. Chicago (14)	Bear necessities for the postseason: Two straight wins and some help.
18. Miami (19)	Dolphins offense depends on reading their Hartline. He's the team's top receiver.

27. N.Y. Jets (23)	Gangrene occurs after a considerable mass of body tissue dies. Gang Green: Same thing.
28. Philadelphia (28)	Eagles have lost 21 fumbles this season, but turnover will be even greater this offseason.

30. Oakland (31)	Two of Raiders' four victories have come against the Division I-AA Kansas City Chiefs.
31. Jacksonville (30)	JAX is not nimble, JAX may have quit, and the way JAX lost last week made its fans sick.
32. Kansas City (29)	Chiefs' game last week was literally pointless for them, getting shut out 15-0 by the Raiders.
