Once a week, Tony breaks down the balance of power in the National Football League.

	1. N.Y. GIANTS [unchanged] Overall record: 4-0 Streak: Won four All eyes on Eli Manning and his sore right heel.
	2. INDIANAPOLIS COLTS [up from 3] Overall record: 4-0 Streak: Won four Peyton Manning – 1,336 yards, 9 TDs – has been simply scary to this point.
	3. MINNESOTA VIKINGS [up from 4] Overall record: 4-0 Streak: Won four Anybody buying Brett Favre’s assertion that this was NOT a revenge game? Neither do I.
	4. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS [up from 5] Overall record: 4-0 Streak: Won four Saints also getting it done on defence - a good sign for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
	5. N.Y. JETS [up from 6] Overall record: 3-1 Streak: Lost one How does it feel to come down to earth, Mark Sanchez?
	6. NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS [up from 7] Overall record: 3-1 Streak: Won two Victory over a tough Ravens team has Pats back in business.
	7. BALTIMORE RAVENS [down from 2] Overall record: 3-1 Streak: Lost one Sour grapes aside, Ravens let one get away.
	8. DENVER BRONCOS [up from 14] Overall record: 4-0 Streak: Won four It’s hard to believe this team has only surrendered 26 points in four games.
	9. ATLANTA FALCONS [down from 8] Overall record: 2-1 Streak: Lost one That visit to San Francisco doesn’t look so easy now.
	10. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES [down from 9] Overall record: 2-1 Streak: Won one With the winless Bucs coming to town, it really doesn’t matter whether Donovan McNabb (broken rib) plays.
	11.CHICAGO BEARS [up from 12] Overall record: 3-1 Streak: Won three Bears enter bye-week with more of a swagger.
	12.CINCINNATI BENGALS [up from 16] Overall record: 3-1 Streak: Won three Another come-from-behind win – albeit against the lowly Browns – keeps the Bengals hot.
	13. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS [up from 17] Overall record: 3-1 Streak: Won one Finally, Vernon Davis is showing the talent and production that made him the sixth overall pick three years ago.
	14. PITTSBURGH STEELERS [down from 13] Overall record: 2-2 Streak: Won one In one game, Rashard Mendenhall (165) surpassed his career rushing total by 103 yards.
	15. GREEN BAY PACKERS [down from 11] Overall record: 2-2 Streak: Lost one Aaron Rodgers won’t stay healthy taking hits behind that offensive line, which allowed eight sacks to a dominant Minnesota front.
	16. SAN DIEGO CHARGERS [down from 10] Overall record: 2-2 Streak: Lost one Chargers’ defence put on an embarrassing display against Steelers, giving up 177 yards on the ground to a previously inept rushing attack.
	17. DALLAS COWBOYS [down from 15] Overall record: 2-2 Streak: Lost one Tony Romo has tossed 10 INTs and committed four fumbles in his last eight games. And now reports have him not knowing it was fourth down on the final play against Denver. Yup, Jerry must be proud.
	18. JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS [up from 22] Overall record: 2-2 Streak: Won two Mike Sims-Walker is turning into the best wide receiver you’ve never heard of.
	19. ARIZONA CARDINALS [unchanged] Overall record: 1-2 Streak: Lost one Cards, who host Houston, can’t afford to fall further behind of the 49ers.
	20. HOUSTON TEXANS [up from 21] Overall record: 2-2 Streak: Won one Run defence shows signs of life against Raiders.
	21. MIAMI DOLPHINS [up from 24] Overall record: 1-3 Streak: Won one Miami has outscored the Bills 79-29 in the last three games – all resulting in victories.
	22. WASHINGTON REDSKINS [up from 26] Overall record: 2-2 Streak: Won one Barely holding off the Bucs isn’t going to help with your job security, Jim Zorn.
	23. SEATTLE SEAHAWKS [unchanged] Overall record: 1-3 Streak: Lost three Edgerrin James’s return to Indy: four carries, 16 yards.
	24. CAROLINA PANTHERS [up from 25] Overall record: 0-3 Streak: Lost three Panthers appear in good shape to get their first win at home against the Redskins.
	25. TENNESSEE TITANS [down from 18] Overall record: 0-4 Streak: Lost four How much longer does Jeff Fisher stick with Kerry Collins before going back to Vince Young? If the Titans drop another one – this time to the Colts - the switch could come soon.
	26. BUFFALO BILLS [down from 20] Overall record: 1-3 Streak: Lost two One Buffalo radio personality actually wanted Miami to run up the score, hoping Bills owner Ralph Wilson would take notice and fire the entire coaching staff.
	27 DETROIT LIONS [unchanged] Overall record: 1-3 Streak: Lost one Only four games into his career and Matthew Stafford is already having problems staying healthy.
	28. OAKLAND RAIDERS [unchanged] Overall record: 1-3 Streak: Lost two In the last three years the Raiders have used high first-round picks on a QB (JaMarcus Russell), RB (Darren McFadden) and WR (Darrius Heyward-Bey). It’s looking like all three will turn out to be busts once their careers are over.
	29. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS [unchanged] Overall record: 0-4 Streak: Lost four Matt Cassel hasn’t thrown an interception in his last two games. That’s something, right?
	30. CLEVELAND BROWNS [up from 31] Overall record: 0-4 Streak: Lost four The Browns have lost 10 straight dating back to last season.
	31. TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS [down from 30] Overall record: 0-4 Streak: Lost four Bucs officially lovable losers again.
	32. ST. LOUIS RAMS [unchanged] Overall record: 0-4 Streak: Lost four How bad are the Rams? The team has been outscored 49-3 in its last six quarters!
