3 (5). Baltimore Ravens (6-2)
By winning against the Steelers and thus sweeping the season series the Ravens leapfrog their long-time divisional rivals into 3rd place and the frontrunners for the AFC North.
Although the surprising Bengals still top the division, they are fully expected to fall away in the second half of the season and open the door for the \Ravens, who must now do no more than match the Black and Gold of Pittsburgh to assure the division crown and what will likely be the number 1 or 2 seed in the AFC,
4 (6). New Orleans Saints (6-3)
The Saints regain some ground this week by beating division rivals, the Tampa Bay buccaneers. After losing to a weak Rams team it was essential the Saints bounced back.
They did so with style. Standing at 6-3 puts them half a game ahead of the Atlanta Falcons, a team unlikely to make the playoffs in any other roll but division champions and thus an ardent competitor. Despite some stupid – some really, really stupid – losses this year, the Saints are too good to let a talented but inconsistent Atlanta catch them down the stretch.
