13. New Orleans Saints (.5697)

The defense was torched by Jason Campbell and Santana Moss. Reggie Bush looks to be coming into his own this season, but the Saints need to close games. (Angel Navedo)

 

14. San Diego Chargers (.5577)

Two last-second losses, but losses nonetheless. You can lose on the last play in the playoffs and go home just as fast as if it were a blowout. (Alex McVeigh)

 

15. Chicago Bears (.5505)

Kyle Orton manages the game and lets the defense and Hester (if he returns) do the rest. (MJ Kasprzak)

 

16.  New York Jets (.4952)

Same old Jets? Terrible coaching, weak execution, and abysmal punting made the Jets look like the 2007 team. Brett Favre, three tight ends with great hands, and they get stuffed three times on the goal line with a new offensive line? Not good. (Angel Navedo)

 

17. Tampa Bay Bucs (.4760)

Is this the end for Jeff Garcia in Tampa Bay? (James Senbeta)

 

18. Washington Redskins (.4399)

Jason Campbell looked as good against the Saints as he did bad against the Giants.  Which version will show up Sunday against Arizona? (Shaun Ahmad)

 

19. Minnesota Vikings (.4231)

Too talented for the end of the rankings, not good enough to be very high. Mediocrity, twin cities. Twin cities, mediocrity. (Alex McVeigh)

 

20. Baltimore Ravens (.3894)

Enjoy the bye week. Cleveland, at the Steelers, Titans, and at the Colts await you. (Shaun Ahmad)

 

21. Jacksonville Jaguars (.3702)

David Garrard doesn't have the same magic as last season. He's forcing balls when he shouldn't. Jags are still a good team with a patchwork offensive line. They will hit a stride eventually. (Angel Navedo)

 

22. Cleveland Browns (.3197)

Two “must win” road games are next (Baltimore and Cincinnati). A 2-2 record going into the bye week could give the Browns a chance to get back on their feet.  (Shaun Ahmad)

 

23. Atlanta Falcons (.2524)

The Falcons responded to a great opening-day performance with an uninspired second week. The running game, which looked so dominant a week before, failed to amount to anything as Ryan tossed two interceptions. (Angel Navedo)

 

24. San Francisco 49ers (.2308)

O’Sullivan has been sacked 12 times in two games. What’s the over/under on games before he’s hanging with Alex Smith on the IR? I’ll take the under on whatever it is.  (Shaun Ahmad)

 

25. Houston Texans (.2260)
