NFL Power Rankings: Which Teams Look Like Division Champs?

After three weeks of play, some favorites within each division have clearly changed.

With that in mind, it's obviously not set in stone, but there are franchises beginning to emerge and set themselves apart from the pack.

To that end, here are the current favorites for each division heading into Week 4.

AFC North: Baltimore Ravens

No change of the power in this division, as the Ravens hold that 1-0 series lead over Pittsburgh.

In addition, the Steelers looked exposed against Indianapolis, while the Browns are gaining confidence.

The Bengals, on the other hand, are hurting themselves on and off the field.

It looks to be a cake-walk for Baltimore, but don't count out the Steelers just yet.

AFC South: Houston Texans

This is arguably the NFL's weakest division, but the Houston Texans are one of the league's best teams.

The Titans continue to be inconsistent, even in wins, while Jacksonville is straight up disappointing.

Indianapolis may be figuring out how to play without Peyton Manning, but they're still no match for Houston.

AFC East: Buffalo Bills

The Bills won a big game at home against New England, and really exploited Bill Belichick's defense.

Additionally, the New York Jets were exposed by the Oakland Raiders, as evidenced by Darren McFadden's 171 rushing yards.

Miami continues to struggle on both sides, and are lacking confidence.

Buffalo is the team to beat until further notice.

AFC West: Oakland Raiders

The Raiders have looked the most impressive by far in the AFC West, while the San Diego Chargers continue to feed off their easy early-season schedule, however, they do have a tendency to start off slow.

K.C. is too banged up to compete at all, and the Denver Broncos' offense cannot put up any points against formidable opponents.

Oakland could very well run away with this division by mid-season.

NFC North: Green Bay Packers

The Detroit Lions, who by the way could steal this division if the Packers continue to struggle with pass defense, appear to be Green Bay's biggest threat.

The Bears are just simply underachieving, and the Vikings don't know how to play a full 60 minutes, otherwise they could very well be 3-0.

It's the Packers division to lose in 2011.

NFC South: New Orleans Saints

The second best team in the NFL is also the second best team in the NFC, the New Orleans Saints.

However, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers regained their confidence in a home win over Atlanta, while the Falcons can't win on the road.

Carolina is significantly improving, but is still a good five steps back of the Saints.

This is arguably the NFL's best division from top to bottom.

NFC East: New York Giants

Right now the Philadelphia Eagles are realizing that championships are earned, not given out on paper.

That said, the Cowboys look to be on the rise, despite being banged up.

If there's a team that could challenge New York right now, it's Dallas.

Washington is back to earth after losing on the road to Dallas, and if the Giants would have played like they are now, they would have beaten the Redskins in Week 1.

NFC West: San Francisco 49ers

It's basically the 49ers by default, as they are the only team with a winning record in this division.

However, it's still up for grabs, as Seattle could turn things around if their offense picks it up.

The Rams simply need their youth to mature more quickly than normal, otherwise they're going to be at the bottom for a little while longer.

And the Cardinals are simply their own worst enemy.

With an improved offense and defense from this offseason, Arizona should be playing better.
