Not too many teams without glaring weaknesses. The Bears seem pretty legit; the competition they faced in the first two weeks was poor but going to Minny and beating up on Seattle at home shows they are legit. The Bengals have been exposed. They should've lost to Pitt last week; the Steelers beat them up on the line of scrimmage but Rothlesberger threw two picks in the end zone to kill scoring drives. Cincy can't stop the run; neither can the Colts. San Diego still has questions at QB. Rivers finally got tested yesterday against a good D and the results weren't promising. The Ravens have looked very good, but they are pretty old; I think that will eventually take its toll as the season goes on. Denver? Can Plummer be trusted? He was good last year; terrible in his first couple games this year. Carolina? As long as Steve Smith plays, they're legit. Without him, they are average. Steelers? I think Big Ben hasn't been 100% so far. They lost a game they should've won vs Cincy. But they do have the pedigree to get it done in the playoffs. Patriots? Not as bad as the first few games but not as good as they looked yesterday.
