NFL Update

Here's the latest top 10 from Dan Hanzus at NFL.com:

1.  San Francisco:  11-4

2.  Philadelphia:  13-2

3.  Buffalo:  12-3

4.  Cincinnati:  11-4

5.  Kansas City:  12-3

6.  Dallas:  11-4

7.  Minnesota:  12-3

8.  San Diego:  9-6

9.  Jacksonville:  7-8

10.  Baltimore:  10-5

Miami (8-7) is number 13.  Washington (7-7-1) is number 16.

This week we finally have a great game of the week:  on Monday night, of all places, the number-4 Bengals will host the number-3 Bills.  There's a ton of drama here -- if the Bengals knock off the Bills, Kansas City could slip in to the number-1 seed in the AFC.  Kansas City's last two games are home to Denver and at the Raiders, so there is a good chance the Chiefs could finish 14-3.  The Bills beat Kansas City, and those hold the tie-breaker.  But to finish 14-3, Buffalo has to win at Cincinnati and then beat the Patriots at home.  On the other hand, the Bengals could get the number-one seed for themselves if they could get to 13-4 by beating Buffalo and Baltimore at home.  If Kansas City lost either of its last two games, Cincinnati would hold the tie-breaker with both Kansas City and Buffalo, and would grab the top seed.  So there's a lot to play for in this game.

But that's it.  There are no other top ten games this week.  I can rarely remember a season with so few top ten games.
