Here are updated NFL rankings. Packers now look like legit Super Bowl contender. After all they shut out the Jets at home. Three of our 4 top teams (TENN, PITT and BALT) lost last week, but that is life in the NFL. Parity is its middle name (except for Carolina!) Our top 5 teams all bring it on defense. This year’s playoffs should be really unpredictable. Picks to follow soon. Our betting picks last week went 6-10 and now stand at 14-13.
