- There would be 7 new playoff teams compared to last season if the season ended today
- The 5 repeaters: Houston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Atlanta, San Francisco
- Houston and Arizona would have home field advantage in their respective conferences
A Quick Look Ahead to Week 5:
Arizona at St. Louis (Thursday, 8:20 PM) - St. Louis can play the game Arizona wants to play, they beat Seattle at the no-offense game on Sunday. Arizona plays that game better than Seattle does though.
Denver at New England (Sunday, 4:25 PM) - Brady vs Manning, Round 13. FIGHT!
Buffalo at San Francisco (Sunday, 4:25 PM) - A real defense shows a paper defense in how it's done.
Houston at New York Jets (Monday, 8:30 PM) - Does Mark Sanchez make it to the end in this game?
