Best teams

1 Saints (11-0)

If the Saints get home-field advantage, it's off to Miami for Super Bowl XLIV.

2 Vikings (10-1)

If the Vikings go 15-1 and make the NFC title game at home, an entire state will watch from the fetal position.

3 Colts (11-0)

It's a cop-out, but can the MVP trophy be split three ways and sent to Brees, Favre and Manning?

4 Chargers (8-3)

A six-game winning streak and a trip to Cleveland? Is it too early to rest the starters?

5 Patriots (7-4)

They just got smoked in the Big Easy. But the NFL only has about four good teams. Someone has to be fifth.
