2010 NFL Week 8 Ratings and Rankings; New England #1, Indy #2, Jets #3

It is starting to look like "normal"!  New England moves to #1 this week with Indianapolis close behind after Pittsburgh and the Jets both lose.

Of course, it is probably not normal to have Dallas at #30 and there are two winning teams at #25 and #26 in Seattle and Tampa Bay respectively, with winning records.  A weaker schedule and some narrow wins will do that.  But the computer is 5-2 picking Tampa Bay games, so it can't be that off.

The AFC is clearly the dominant conference with 7 of the top 9 teams.

The computer had an ok week predicting games going 7-6 against the spread but this continued the streak of wining weeks after three previous 9 correct picks weeks.
