So, with the next 4 games against New England, New Orleans, Atlanta, and Green Bay, don't be surprised if the Vikings have a 1-4 record before they win again.  That said, since Detroit didn't play until Monday night, for 1 day, (Sun afternoon through Mon afternoon), the NFC North standings were:

Vikings   1 - 0
Lions      0 - 0
Bears      0 - 1
Packers  0 - 1

Vikings leading the NFC North!  I'm not sure how long it will be before the Vikings lead the division next, but they've already done it, this season. Skoal !!!

Steelers over Ravens.

oh well, so much for Thursday.

Surprise game 1: 	Miami vs Buffalo; neither was supposed to have won last week- well, they can't both win this week. Miami pulls out the win again on the strength of its D.

'skins over Jags

the Tuxedos took apart KC last week; this week the 'boys lose to them.  Tony Romo is throwing more picks than scores.

Cards over NYG.

Surprise game 2: 	New England vs Minnesota; this was supposed to be a 1-0 team vs an 0-1 team, but not the way it worked out.  Still, this week, the Vikings come back to earth and Brady gets in a rhythm. Pats win.

Norleans over Browns.  Go Browns!!!

Hotlanta vs Cincy. 	Matt Ryan was great last week, but has trouble against the blitz- and Cincy loves to blitz.  Bengals win at home.

Lions over Panthers. 	a better D and bigger big plays mean I have to go with Detroit.

Surprise Game 3: 	this was supposed to be 2 unbeaten teams, instead, they're still looking for win one.  Jeff Fisher is doing his best to create a QB controversy, and the Bucs will help by winning.

Seahawks over Chargers 	the rich get richer...

rookie QB? 	Texans beat Raiduhs.

Pack is desperate to rebound; the NYJets won't make it easy, but GreenBay will get it done.  Pack wins.

Broncos beat chefs.

9ers beat da bears.

coming back against the Jags is one thing; beating the Colts at home when you are down 2 Offensive Linemen is another.  Baltmore wins at home.
