The New York Jets have been one of the surprises of the early season, with a 4-1 record, and that loss coming to the Eagles, who are currently at #5. They are heading to Foxboro this weekend to face #1 New England, and the winner of that game will be in the driver's seat in the AFC East, which the Patriots have ruled for over a decade, so this will be a big game for New York.

The Denver Broncos just moved into the top 10 this week, even though at 6-0 you would assume they would be ranked higher. Their biggest problem is that their are winning by an average of 6 points per game, and they've only played one game against a team with a winning record, the Minnesota Vikings. They are on bye this week, but come back to face fellow undefeated Green Bay on November 1st.
