This is getting a little pathetic. After the Top 5 teams, the other 27 are virtually interchangeable. Do we chalk that up to parity, or just playing bad football? I'm going to go with playing bad football--especially the NY Giants who deserve to be out of the Top 10. But maybe it is parity. Ah heck, who knows. Let's just get ready to watch the Cowboys and Packers butt heads on Thursday night. (Unless of course you don't have NFL Network, then it's "CSI" or "The Office" for you, bub! So I guess I'll be watching CSI as usual. Thanks, NFL!........morons.)

Precipitous rise: Minnesota, San Diego, Tampa Bay
Perilous: Tennessee (again), Lions

1. New England Is it arrogance or greed for the Pats to ignore having a running game?
2. Dallas See, Steelers? That's how you beat the Jets.
3. Green Bay Made Thanksgiving Mincemeat pie out of the Lions.
4. Indianapolis While we carved turkey, Manning carved up Falcons.
5. Jacksonville I'll admit it if you do: They're for real.
6. Pittsburgh It could be frickin' Hurricane David and you should still score more than 3 points against the Dolphins.
7. Seattle The Frerotte Fumble Heard 'Round The Puget Sound.
8. Cleveland The Mystery by Lake Erie continues...
9. NY Giants 4 INTs against one of the league's worst pass D's. Pathetic.
10. Tampa Bay Imagine your whole season hinging on the health of QB Jeff Garcia. Just weird.

Find your so-so team down here:

11. San Diego QB Rivers saves his and Coach Turner's jobs. For now.
12. Detroit Hmm, well, that was a reality check against the Pack now, wasn't it.
13. Philadelphia Fine, I'll say it. Jay Feeley is your QB. Not McNabb.
14. Tennessee Contenders do not get dismantled by teams like the Bengals.
15. Denver Shanahan misses opportunity to issue leg-breaking cutblock on Devon Hestor.
16. New Orleans Yeah, but it was Carolina.
17. Minnesota Adrian Peterson. Chester Taylor. Hell, they could bring back Chuck Foreman and still be able to run the ball.
18. Washington Suffered two losses this week. One far, far worse than the other.
19. Chicago Devon Hestor. Making people forgot about what's his name in K.C. a few years ago.
20. Houston I'm sorry I've been so mean to the Texans. There are far worse teams. Like 12 of 'em.
21. Arizona So there's always Arizona State to root for! Oh....
22. Buffalo "Tatanka!" played tough! So there's that...
23. Kansas City Dear KC fans: It's Tuesday. Yes, you were drunk. And yes, you lost to the Raiders at home.
24. Cincinnati Yeah, where's that game been all year, Ocho Cinco?
25. Baltimore Quote the Ravens, the season is nevermore.
26. Oakland Maybe Culpepper holds of the JaMarcus Russell's debut this weekend? I think not.
27. New York Jets Ah, back to our losing ways.
28. Carolina Tickle Me Elmo soft.
29. Atlanta Hey, it's a good thing the NFL Network decided not to air this game to the general public on Thanksgiving. Less chance of us all yakking up our dinners.
30. St. Louis Seattle fans send world's largest box of Potluck Smoked Salmon from Pike's Place Market to Rams QB Gus Frerotte.
31. San Francisco The 2rd Resurrection of Trent Dilfer! Sorta.
32. Miami What's harder to watch? David Caruso's "acting" in "CSI: Miami" or the Dolphins on Monday Night Football?
