OK folks!!! it is NFL time!!! Last year, I started a sports group and it has grown! Please make sure you join it on Active Rain! Below are my top 12 NFL Teams after week 2. Is this the year the NFC takes over as the dominant Conference?

1 ) Dalls Cowboys: Their defense was a bit suspect against the Eagles however, their offense proves the most powerful in the NFL early. With Marion Barber wearing down defenses, 14 wins is a true possibility.

2 ) Green Bay Packers: Favre who? Yeah, Aaron Rodgers is actually that good, or has played that good through the first 2 weeks. Can you truly imagine the public outcry if he didn't?

3 ) Pittsburgh Steelers: Let's face it. It is hard to throw the ball in 70 MPH winds. Their 10 point offensive display against Cleveland really isn't worrisome. Also, Ben Roethlisberger has the highest QB rating in the NFL and has only had to throw the ball minimally during their 2 wins. 75% completion % is stellar. This team has all of the tools. QB, two feature backs and a stellar defense.

4 ) Philadelphia Eagles: McNabb looks great. They hung with the Cowboys in a shootout. 

5 ) NY Giants: Their defense looks excellent, as does Eli. Brandon Jacobs runs over anything in his path, including his own linemen. They did win the Superbowl last year.

6 ) Denver Broncos: Jay Cutler looks to cement himself as a true top 5 QB this year. (Hoculi certainly helped this rating.

7 ) New England Patriots: No Brady, no problem... The rest of the team is a very good, veteran squad that will lift Cassel into having an above-par season.

8 ) Indianapolis Colts: Ugh, this is the ugliest 1-1 start I've ever seen a team have. They still have Addai, Harrison, Wayne, Clark and some guy named Manning.

9 ) Carolina Panthers: Well, they squeaked em in, but they squeaked em in without their best player in Steve Smith.

10) Buffalo Bills: Excellent Defense! Marshawn Lynch is a bruising back. Their success falls solely into the hands of their young QB.

11) Tenessee Titans: Kerry Collins is the guy there until Young proves he is physically and mentally ready. They do have a very inviting schedule.

12 ) Arizona Cardinals: Ok, they beat two terrible teams in Miami and San Fran. However, Kurt Warner, Edgerin James, Anquan Boldin and Larry Fitzgerald? If they allow 20 points per game on defense, they'll still win 10 games. It's too early on this one...

Hi Joe! Thanks for the response! Well, we'll have to see.. I think without Brady, Pittsburgh has to be the favorite to represent the AFC in the Superbowl... We'll see how they fare against the Eagles tomorrow. Also, if you get a tight game between Dallas and Green Bay, it'll be hard to move those two..

You have the Cowboys, Eagles, Panthers, Packers, Giants all looking very good... The AFC has playoff teams from last year (Jax and SD) at 0-2, Indy at 1-1 and nobody but Pittsburgh really looking dominant.. Tough to make that comment because I am an AFC guy but, you gotta take a look at the teams that are poised to win in the AFC who just aren't winning.

I would be real careful if you are rooting against the Patriots. Although Matt Cassel is no Tom Brady, bear in mind who he has been in back of. Three NFL starting Quarterbacks.

I think the Patriots will open up the playbook a little bit this week against Miami. Then they have the bye and the 49s after that.

I am fairly confidant that they will win the division due mostly in part to the poor opposition.

We will see what happens in the playoffs.

Ok, I will take the Bronco's at 6th place right now.  I agree they need to earn their right at this point!

Looks like I was a little off! :(

Congratulations to the Fish for their first win.

I was a little off with Pittsburgh too... Westbrook and Mcnabb go down (even though Mcnabb's was minimal time missed) the Eagles looked sensational... Man, they are the true "Blitzburgh". Ben had no time to even look down field let alone throw. His shoulder is definitely bothering him though!

What great NFL action!

Thx!
