1. Indianapolis Colts (-7) Stealing the top position back from the Saints, Peyton Manning’s Colts are a flawless 13-0 after their 28-14 victory over the Denver Broncos. Heading into Jacksonville this Thursday night, they have a great shot at continuing their season-long hot streak.

2. New Orleans Saints  (-7) The difference between the Saints and the Colts is that Indy hasn’t struggled to win any football games lately. After narrowly beating the Atlanta Falcons last week, they’re hanging in at the #2 spot simply due to their perfect record. Since the Cowboys seem to freeze in December, you can count on a Saints home win this Saturday.

3. Minnesota Vikings (-7) The Vikings overcame the biggest challenge of their final four games last Sunday, coming away with a 30-10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Again, the only reason they’ve been stuck at the #3 spot for the past eight weeks is because the two teams ahead of them have remained unbeaten. Look for the Vikes to move to 12-2 after their contest at the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

4. San Diego Chargers (-6.5) The Chargers barely beat the Cowboys last week, but they’re heading into Week 15 on an eight-game roll. That’s hot, but if the real Bengals show up this Sunday, Philip Rivers and company could be facing  a bit of a challenge, even with home field advantage.

5. Philadelphia Eagles (-7.5) In one of the most exciting games of the season, DeShaun Jackson and the Eagles punished Eli Manning and the New York Giants 45-38. Even though Frank Gore was able to run all over the Cardinals during Monday night’s shitshow, don’t expect Philly’s defense to allow any shenanigans against the 49ers this Sunday.

6. Green Bay Packers (+2) They might have a hell of a defense, but watch out for that offensive line. With Aaron Rodgers at the helm as one of the most impressive  quarterbacks in the league,  he could have his hands full with the Pittsburgh Steelers D this Sunday evening. Probably steer clear of any bets on this one. 

7. Cincinnati Bengals (+6.5) After losing to Brett Favre’s Vikings last week, they’ve sort of lost their momentum heading into this week’s game against the smokin’ hot Chargers in San Diego. Where have your celebrations gone Ochocinco?

8. Denver Broncos (-13.5) We’re not really going to hold that Indy loss against the Broncos, especially since they’re going to pummel the Oakland Raiders this Sunday.

9. New England Patriots (-7) The Pats didn’t exactly run up the score against the Panthers last Sunday during their 20-10 win, but a win is a win nonetheless. Tom Brady’s team is the favorite at the Buffalo Bills this Sunday.

10. Miami Dolphins (+4) The Dolphins have wiggled their way back into the playoff picture with a 7-5 record after their 14-10 victory over the Jaguars last week. Their game at Tennessee this Sunday will be a little more of a challenge: this is when they get to prove they’re a contender or stay a pretender.
