Hock Show The Internet is mostly suck... and we prove that.

1. Tennessee Titans: Tennessee continues their improbable run, and keeps beating some actual good teams. The rest of their schedule isn’t rough, but the Playoffs will really test them. Last Week: 1

2. New York Giants: I don’t think there’s any doubt that the Giants are “actually” the best team in football right now, but it’s going to be interesting to see what happens when they play the Cardinals.Last Week: 2

3. Carolina Panthers: It’s a tough run from here on out, but they’ve got the edge on the NFC South, and if they can get something going, they’ll be tough to stop during playoff time. Last Week: 3

4. Arizona Cardinals: Arizona has continued to dominate the West, playing crazy go nuts on offense and…not horrible on defense. They’re looking at least one home playoff game, forcing Matt Leinart to postpone his plans to make University of Phoenix Stadium into the world‘s biggest coed hot tub.Last Week: 4

5. Pittsburgh Steelers: Injuries still threaten to put a halt to the Steeler’s playoff hopes, but for right now they’re clearly one of the AFC’s best, and if Willie Parker or a few others get healthy, well then they’ll probably be a little better. Last Week: 7

6. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jeff Garcia played out of his mind on Sunday, which gives Tampa fans some hilarious false hope, before they remember that their quarterback is still Jeff Garcia. Last Week: 13

7. Indianapolis Colts: Are the Colts are on a comback run, or are they faking it again? The questionability of Bob Sanders and Marvin Harrison makes the rest of the Colts’ season awfully questionable. Last Week: 10

8. New York Jets: I think it‘s safe to say that the Jets season is going better than they‘d hoped. With the AFC East (and the AFC, really) up for grabs, they’re going to ride Brett Favre and Thomas Jones until they’re retired. Last Week: 8

9. Denver Broncos: The Broncos went ahead and signed Tatum Bell to a contract. Guaranteeing a population boom in Denver. What’s wonderful is that Denver doesn’t have any other running backs whose luggage he can steal. Last Week: 15

10. Miami Dolphins: Chad Pennington got hurt and nobody really noticed. He’s the most useless good quarterback since…well…Kerry Collins. Last Week: 18

11. New England Patriots: The Patriots might make the playoffs anyway this year, but they’re not the same team. I will say that BenJarvis GreenEllis is what I’m probably going to name my firstborn, though. Last Week: 5

12. Baltimore Ravens: Back to the drawing board offensively for the Ravens, who seem to play superb one week and flaccid the next. Speaking of which, why is John Flacco still running the option? And why is it their best play? Last Week: 6

13. Dallas Cowboys: Tony Romo’s return brought a win to the Cowboys and put them back into the Playoff race. But the truth remains that the only people who think they actually have a shot at the playoffs are Jerry Jones, Wade Phillips, and Jessica Simpson. Last Week: 20

14. Green Bay Packers: The Packers dominated the Bears Sunday, finally unleashing Ryan Grant and putting on a defensive showcase against Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman. Not that that’s a huge achievement, but…still. Last Week: 16

15. Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons fell to the Broncos, but they’re continuing to play far above the level anybody could possibly have expected. They’ve still got an outside shot at winning the division, and it must be killing Michael Vick. If he got football in the clink. Last Week: 12

16. Washington Redskins: Things would probably have gone better if Portis was 100%, but this is something that the Redskins are going to have to deal with this season. Portis won’t be healthy for the rest of the year, and neither will the Skins. Last Week: 9

17. Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings played themselves out of the game, wasting multiple chances to beat the Bucs. I’d say the season still looks good for Minnesota, but 3/4ths of their award winning D-Line might be suspended next week. Last Week: 18

18. Chicago Bears: Kyle Orton came back playing like Kyle Orton, and they ended up throwing the Dragon back out there, thereby losing hilariously, and increasing the Neckbeard ratio in the NFL by at least 20%. Last Week: 11

19. Philadelphia Eagles: Donovan McNabb blamed his nonchalant play at the end of the Eagles’ game on not knowing that an overtime period could end in a tie. Still, he didn’t have an answer for why they tied with the Bengals. Last Week: 17

20. Buffalo Bills: It’s not just yet another wide right field goal in a big game for the Bills, it’s that such a promising team here has fallen apart so quickly. Not that that’s anything new with this team, but this year they really had a chance. Last Week: 18

21. New Orleans Saints: Reggie Bush might be back this week, and that might just be what the Saints need. They’re quickly running out of chances, despite Drew Brees and Lance Moore going crazy. Last Week: 19

22. San Diego Chargers: The Chargers suffered a pretty ridiculous 11-10(ish) loss to the Steelers in the game which pissed off more Vegas big wigs than Chargers fans. The talent is still there, but it’s not waking up any time soon. Last Week: 21

23. Cleveland Browns: Brady Quin courageously got his first NFL win. The Browns looked more like the 2007 Browns, who won every meaningless game enroute to missing the playoffs, than the 2008 Browns who just…lose every game. Last Week: 25

24. Jacksonville Jaguars: What the hell happened to the Jaguars? Jacksonville has played down to the level of their opponents all year, to the point that I’m pretty sure they really are a crappy team. Last Week: 24

25. Houston Texans: They played the Colts close both times this year, but they lost both games, and to a crippled Colts team. Time is running out on Gary Kubiak’s plan to fix the Texans. Last Week: 25

26. Seattle Seahawks: Nobody knows why Matt Hasslebeck decided to come back to this team. The Seahawks are really awful, and Mike Holmgren is keeping them from playing for next year. Last Week: 28

27. Kansas City Chiefs: On the flip side, another coach who will probably not be in the league next year, Herm Edwards, has his team planning for the future. Now, I don‘t think they‘ll be any good next year either, at least Tyler Thigpen and Glen Dorsey are getting their reps.. Last Week: 27

28. San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers won a meaningless blowout over the Rams, giving Mike Singletary his first, and probably last, win as a head coach. Mike Martz declared this as “easily his favorite victory since that one with the Lions.” Last Week: 30

29. Saint Louis Rams: Not much good can be salvaged from the Rams’ 35-16 loss against the slightly less hapless 49ers. Somehow, I don’t think that Jim Haslett is going to reach that six win plateau. Last Week: 26

30. Oakland Raiders: Darren McFadden is set to come back to the Raiders at full strength after suffering a foot injury. Not that it will do much for the Raiders offense or anything, but he’s certainly more fun to watch than Huggy Bear. Last Week: 29

31. Cincinnati Bengals: A tie isn’t a loss, at least, right? I can’t help but feel like they should’ve traded Ochocinco when they had the chance. Sure they’d miss some pretty funny celebrations, but they could’ve gotten a draft pick or two instead of…well…a few funny celebrations. Last Week: 31

32. Detroit Lions: Nobody was more excited about the Lions’ opening drive touchdown than Dante Culpepper. Mostly because nobody was watching the game, and the people in the game knew they’d find a way to lose in the end. Last Week: 32
