Detroit didn't lose?

I'm shocked.

^Don't be. Arizona always comes across as the team that doesn't seem to care about winning. And I've seen their highlight reels and it seems the stadium is always empty. -CSM

I'm disappointed Buffalo's not higher. If anyone even watched that Monday night game, you'd know how loud that place gets.

I'm actually surprised Indianapolis, and Miami for that matter, didn't get ranked higher. I'm pretty sure they love their Fins down there, no matter how much they suck so bad. Then again, I guess ESPN had a bias toward cold places (and I don't blame them because football is more fun in negative degree weather than it is in warm places; just ask anyone from Pittsburgh or Green Bay or any Big Ten fan). -CSM

Meh, depends, I haven't played in negative weather, but I've played in weather pretty damn close, and I think I preferred that over a 100 degree day down here (humidity included).

As far as ATlanta goes, not surprised they're at the bottom, ATLiens love the Falcons, but at the same time, not too many people bother to go to the games because they know the end result (until 98, anything more than an 8 win season was a plus, and after Vick came, that whole mentality changed, now it seems as if we're right back where we started).

Wow, I didn't expect KC to be that high.
