We've narrowed the NFL tiers for Week 7 as well!

Putt'n these out a bit early this week, and we've reduced the size of each tiers from eight to about six, as with the collegians (although with 32 teams, we need a couple tiers w an extra team each). So, we've gone from quartiles to quintiles! 

Quintile A, unbelievably, has TWO teams from the supposed "worst division in football", the NFC East! The six best teams right now (we think!) are the Arizona Cardinals (5-1), the Dallas Cowboys (6-1), the Denver Broncos (4-1 at this moment), the up'n coming Green Bay Packers (relaxed at 5-2), the Indianapolis Colts (5-2), and the 5-1 Philadelphia Eagles.

Quintile B, which like the college version is filled with teams that could beat anyone anytime, contains the Baltimore Ravens (5-2), the Cincinnati Bengals (3-2-1), the Detroit Lions (5-2), the New England Patriots (5-2), the San Diego Chargers (5-2),  the San Francisco 49ers (4-2 at the moment), and the Seattle Seahawks (down to 3-3, unbelievably).

In the middle of the pack, Quintile C, sit the Buffalo Bills at 4-3, the Carolina Panthers at 3-3-1, the Chicago Bears (3-4), the Cleveland Browns (3-3), the Kansas City Chiefs (up to 3-3 after an upset of San Diego), and the 3-3 Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Quintile D has the 2-5 Atlanta Falcons, the Houston Texans (sitting at 3-3 and playing the Steelers tomorrow night), the Minnesota Vikings (2-5), the New Orleans Saints (2-4, meaning they've played four road games and two at home!), the New York Jersey Giants (3-4), and the St. Louis Rams, still just 2-4 after today's upset of the Super Bowl champs.

Finally, Quintile E holds the six bottom of the barrel teams, namely the Jacksonville Jaguars, New York Jersey Jets, the winless Oakland Raiders, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tennessee Titans, and the Washington whatevers... Just seven wins between the six teams listed...
