Top 5
1. Denver Broncos (2): The Broncos take the top spot because of one person: Peyton Manning. Congratulations on the touchdown record, which is at 51 and there is still one game left in the regular season.
2. Seattle Seahawks (1): They showed they can be beat at home … surprise of the day.
3. New England Patriots (4): Who needs star skilled players when you have Tom Brady running the show?
4. San Francisco 49ers (3): I’m guessing they close Candlestick Park out with a winning moment.
5. Carolina Panthers (6): This team can be really dangerous in the postseason.
