2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 38-13 to the Titans

Last week's ranking: 25

The Raiders got their butt's kicking by Chris Johnson and the Titans.

While running back Darren McFadden had a solid performance, the rest of the team did not back him up including new starting quarterback Jason Campbell.

This week: Home versus St. Louis Rams

31. Carolina Panthers

2010 Record: 0-1

Last week: Lost 31-18 to the Giants

Last week ranking: 22

The Giants whipped quarterback Matt Moore in his first start as the team starter, but he needs to not throw three interceptions otherwise he will no longer hold that title of starting quarterback.

Big fall due to the blow out against New York.

Next game: Home versus Tampa Bay Buccaneers

30. Buffalo Bills

ORCHARD PARK, NY - SEPTEMBER 12: CJ Spiller #21 of the Buffalo Bills runs away from Karlos Dansby #58 of the Miami Dolphins during the NFL season opener at Ralph Wilson Stadium on September 12, 2010 in Orchard Park, New York. Miami won 15-10. (Photo by R

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 15-10 to Dolphins

Last week's ranking: 30

The Bills offense was inept to say the least and rookie running back C.J. Spiller was a non-factor in the game too.

Not the best way to start off the new season.

Next week: At Green Bay Packers

29. Cleveland Browns

TAMPA, FL - SEPTEMBER 12: Quarterback Jake Delhomme #17 of the Cleveland Browns lines up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during the NFL season opener game at Raymond James Stadium on September 12, 2010 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by J. Meric/Getty Images

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost to Buccaneers 17-14

Last week's ranking: 27

Quarterback Jake Delhomme threw two interceptions and even though he started off good, he finish the game looking like his 2009 self and he injured his right ankle that got an MRI on Monday.

All bad signs for Cleveland, who actually owned the Bucs until Delhomme threw his first pick and everything else unraveled.

Next week: Home versus Kansas City Chiefs

28. St. Louis Rams

ST. LOUIS - SEPTEMBER 2: Sam Bradford #8 of the St. Louis Rams passes against the Baltimore Ravens during an NFL preseason game at the Edward Jones Dome on September 2, 2010 in St. Louis, Missouri. (Photo by Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images)

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 17-13 to the Cardinals

Last week's ranking: 32

Forget about all the rookie passing records Sam Bradford had, the bigger story is how he connected with Mark Clayton for 10 passes and over 100 yards receiving after Clayton was barely with team a week.

Looks like Clayton has found a new home with the Rams' offense this season.

Next week: At Oakland Raiders

27. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

TAMPA, FL - SEPTEMBER 12: Quarterback Josh Freeman #5 of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hands the ball off against the Cleveland Browns during the NFL season opener game at Raymond James Stadium on September 12, 2010 in Tampa, Florida. (Photo by J. Meric/Gett

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Won 17-14 versus Browns

Last week's ranking: 31

Tampa moves up two spots because they were able to pull out a win against the Browns.

Not the best game in week one, but a win is in win.

The Bucs still have a long way to go to move any higher though.

Next week: At Carolina Panthers

26. Detroit Lions

DETROIT - AUGUST 28: Calvin Johnson #81 of the Detroit Lions warms up prior to the start of the preseason game against the Cleveland Browns at Ford Field on August 28, 2010 in Detroit, Michigan. (Photo by Leon Halip/Getty Images)

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 19-14 to the Bears

Last week's ranking: 26

The Lions competed with the Bears on Sunday, and a random NFL rule prevented them from starting the season undefeated.

There is still a lot to prove in Detroit if they really want to move up this list.

Next week: Home versus Philadelphia Eagles

25. Denver Broncos

JACKSONVILLE, FL - SEPTEMBER 12: Quarterback Tim Tebow #15 of the Denver Broncos practices prior to the NFL season opener game against the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Field on September 12, 2010 in Jacksonville, Florida. (Photo by Sam Greenwood/Get

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 24-17 to the Jaguars

Last week's ranking: 20

Two turnovers (one fumble, one interception) by the Broncos against none by the Jaguars is always a tough way to win in the NFL.

Next game: Home versus Seattle Seahawks

24. Arizona Cardinals

ST. LOUIS - SEPTEMBER 12: Larry Fitzgerald #11 of the Arizona Cardinals makes a catch against the St. Louis Rams during the NFL season opener at the Edward Jones Dome on September 12, 2010 in St. Louis, Missouri. The Cardinals beat the Rams 17-13. (Phot

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Won 17-13 versus the Rams

Last week's ranking: 21

Cardinals fall a few spots on this list due to the fact that they were barely able to escape beating the Rams.

Derek Anderson threw at Larry Fitzgerald 15 times in the game, but only connected with three.

If that doesn't change, then it will be a long season for the Cards.

Next game: At Atlanta Falcons

23. Chicago Bears

CHICAGO - SEPTEMBER 12: Jay Cutler #6 of the Chicago Bears rests during a time-out against the Detroit Lions during the NFL season opening game at Soldier Field on September 12, 2010 in Chicago, Illinois. The Bears defeated the Lions 19-14. (Photo by Jona

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Won 19-14 versus the Lions

Last week's ranking: 23

The Bears barely won against the Lions and if a certain NFL rule did not exist, then they would be winless.

A near win only moves them up one this week.

Next game: At Dallas Cowboys

22. Jacksonville Jaguars

Sam Greenwood/Getty Images

JACKSONVILLE, FL - SEPTEMBER 12: Quarterback David Garrard #9 gives the ball to Maurice Jones-Drew #32 of the Jacksonville Jaguars during the NFL season opener game against the Denver Broncos5 at EverBank Field on September 12, 2010 in Jacksonville, Flor

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Won 24-17 over Broncos

Last week's ranking: 29

The Jags didn't have to rely on running back Maurice Jones-Drew as much as many thought they would have to and quarterback David Garrard tossed three touchdown passes against a Broncos defense that has some holes.

Next week: At San Diego Chargers

21. Kansas City Chiefs

KANSAS CITY, MO - SEPTEMBER 13: Dexter McCluster #22 of the Kansas City Chiefs returns a punt for a touchdown as punter Mike Scifres #5 of the San Diego Chargers defends during the 1st half of the game against on September 13, 2010 at Arrowhead Stadium i

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Won 21-14 versus the Chargers

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 27-20 to the Packers

Last week's ranking: 16

The Kevin Kolb concussion may be a big concern, but let's be honest in saying that Michael Vick gives the Eagles the best chance to win games and he looked like the Vick of old on Sunday.

Next game: At Detroit Lions

19. San Francisco 49ers

SAN FRANCISCO - SEPTEMBER 02: Head coach Mike Singletary of the San Francisco 49ers watches his team during their game against the San Diego Chargers at Candlestick Park on September 2, 2010 in San Francisco, California. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Image

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 31-6 versus Seahawks

Last week's ranking: 10

Mike Singletary and his Niners got smacked around be Pete Carroll and his new Seahawks team out of no where.

This past Sunday's defeat might have been the biggest surprise of all surprises this past weekend.

HOUSTON - AUGUST 28: Quarterback Tony Romo #9 of the Dallas Cowboys calls out a play at the line of scrimmage during a football game against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on August 28, 2010 in Houston, Texas. Houston won 23-7. (Photo by Bob Levey/

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 13-7 versus Redskins

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Loss 38-24 against Patriots

Last week's ranking: 13

Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco had decent games in their first regular season game together, but the Pats were running on all cylinders and just too much for the Bengals' defense to contain in week one.

Next game: Home versus Baltimore Ravens

16. Miami Dolphins

ORCHARD PARK, NY - SEPTEMBER 12: Brandon Marshall #19 of the Miami Dolphins keeps his footing against the Buffalo Bills during the NFL season opener at Ralph Wilson Stadium on September 12, 2010 in Orchard Park, New York. (Photo by Rick Stewart/Getty Im

2010 Record: 1-0

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Overtime loss 15-9 versus Steelers

Last week's ranking: 11

Atlanta maintains a higher ranking despite losing since they lost to a good Steelers team that couldn't win during regulation of the game and had to win in Overtime.

The Falcons can and will compete with many teams in 2010.

NEW ORLEANS - SEPTEMBER 09: Quarterback Brett Favre #4 of the Minnesota Vikings at Louisiana Superdome on September 9, 2010 in New Orleans, Louisiana. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Loss 14-9 to the Saints

Last week's ranking: 4

Bottom line is that the Vikings fall so far because their passing game looked terrible without injured wide receiver Sidney Rice.

Until they have a better passing game, opposing defenses will just tee off on running back Adrian Peterson.

Next game: Home versus Miami Dolphins

10. New York Jets

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 13: Mark Sanchez #6 of the New York Jets looks to throw against the Baltimore Ravens during their home opener at the New Meadowlands Stadium on September 13, 2010 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Andrew Burton/Ge

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Loss 10-9 versus Ravens

Last week's ranking: 7

The Jets offense looked terrible and the only reason they only lost by one point is due to their defense which looks to be running on all cylinders already.

EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 12: Hakeem Nicks #88 of the New York Giants scores a touchdown in front of Richard Marshall #31 of the Carolina Panthers during the NFL season opener at New Meadowlands Stadium on September 12, 2010 in East Rutherford, New

Last game: Won 31-18 over Panthers

Last week's ranking: 15

Eli Manning found a new favorite target in Hakeem Nicks and they hooked up for three touchdowns in week one.

Next game: At Indianapolis Colts

8. Indianapolis Colts

HOUSTON - SEPTEMBER 12: Quarterback Peyton Manning #18 of the Indianapolis Colts reacts on the sidelines during the NFL season opener against the Houston Texans at Reliant Stadium on September 12, 2010 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty

2010 Record: 0-1

Last game: Lost 34-24 versus Texans

Last week's ranking: 2

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Win 15-9 over Falcons

Last week's ranking: 18

Dennis Dixon may be holding the fort down until Ben Roethlisberger comes back from suspension, but he really needs to buy running back Rashard Mendenhall a gift for winning the season opener game for him in overtime.

Next game: At Tennessee Titans

6. Tennessee Titans

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Won 38-13 over Raiders

Last week's ranking: 17

The Chris Johnson show appears set to play all season long.

Can he be the first running back ever to rush for over 2,000 yards in consecutive seasons?

Next game: Home versus Pittsburgh Steelers

5. Houston Texans

HOUSTON - SEPTEMBER 12: Running back Arian Foster #23 of the Houston Texans rushes past defensive back Antoine Bethea #41 of the Indianapolis Colts during the NFL season opener at Reliant Stadium on September 12, 2010 in Houston, Texas. (Photo by Bob Le

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Win 34-24 over the Colts

Last week's ranking: 12

The NFL is going crazy after a week one break out performance by Texans running back Arian Foster.

Wow.

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Won 27-20 over the Eagles

Last week's ranking: 3

Aaron Rodgers wasn't at his best on Sunday and the Packers still won, but Vick didn't challenge the Packers' defense nearly single-handedly doing what Vick does best.

The Pack still won and only drop a spot to make room for a new top three.

Next game: Home versus Buffalo Bills

3. Baltimore Ravens

BALTIMORE - AUGUST 28: Anquan Boldin #81 of the Baltimore Ravens makes a catch during the game against the New York Giants at M&T Bank Stadium on August 28, 2010 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens lead the Giants 17-3. (Photo by Larry French/Getty Images

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Win 10-9 over the Jets

Last week's ranking: 5

Anquan Boldin showcased his talents and why he was worth the price to play, also the Ravens defense literally shut down the Jets' offense all game long and did not give up a touchdown.

FOXBORO, MA - SEPTEMBER 12: Wes Welker #83 of the New England Patriots carries the ball as Leon Hall #29 of the Cincinnati Bengals defends during the NFL season opener on September 12, 2010 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The Patriots defe

2010 Record: 1-0

Last game: Won 38-24 over the Bengals

Last week's ranking: 8

The Patriots' offense was firing and scoring like it was 2007 all over again.
