Indy takes over my top spot with a hard earned win over a very good Denver team at Mile High (not the easiest place to play). Bears need to beat a comparable team (e.g., Giants) in order to take over the top spot again.
Manning lit up the acclaimed Broncos D. If you would have told me before hand that Plummer would guide the Denver O to 31 points, I would have bet the ranch on the Broncos.
Bears only have 3 tough games on their schedule left (all on the road): NY Giants, New England Pats, St. Louis Rams I don't see anyone touching them at home. I don't see them winning all three of them road games, either. Colts toughest road games: New England Pats, Dallas Cowboys along with Cincy at home I think if the Colts can sneak by the Pats, we may have something going there
Caught the scroller on ESPN once, Joe Horn, and a few others that are questionable... if I recall correctly
