1. Dallas Cowboys (2)

How ’bout them Cowboys?  America’s Team is number one in the power rankings, and they are playing like it.  How ’bout this combination of rookies?  A big question: which one has been more impressive?  Dak Prescott is making this decision very easy for the Cowboys.  Barring injury, Tony Romo should be holding a clipboard for the rest of the year—something he himself made very clear in his emotional press conference.

2. Kansas City Chiefs (4)

Since getting destroyed by the Steelers, the Chiefs have been one of the hottest teams in the league.  Due to the Raiders bye week, they are now sitting atop the AFC West.  They have already crushed the Raiders in Oakland, and in two weeks they will have the opportunity to do that to the Broncos in Denver under the bright lights of Sunday Night Football.

3. New England Patriots (1)

It sure seems like it comes down to a goal line stop each time the Patriots and Seahawks get together.  The big news coming out of this game—The Patriots can be slowed when they face a good defense.  The bigger news coming out of this game—Gronk has a chest injury after getting destroyed by Earl Thomas.  This will be something to watch as Gronk is the key to that Patriots offense.

4. Oakland Raiders (3)

It sure is a bummer when you go on a bye week and lose the division lead.  The Raiders shouldn’t be too concerned though, they are still 7-2 and already own a big win against the Broncos.  Now they are rested up and ready to hit the real meat of their schedule.  They passed their first big test of the year, but now they have many more to come.  Stay tuned.
