23 22 -1 Washington Redskins 5.9 2-4
24 26 +2 Carolina Panthers 5.7 2-3
25 24 -1 Buffalo Bills 5.4 2-4
26 28 +2 Oakland Raiders 4 2-4
27 29 +2 Kansas City Chiefs 3.9 1-5
28 25 -3 Detroit Lions 3.2 1-5
29 27 -2 Cleveland Browns 2.8 1-5
30 31 +1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers 1.8 0-6
31 30 -1 Tennessee Titans 1.2 0-6
32 32 - St. Louis Rams 0.7 0-6

Well, the Chiefs finally win a game and leave the Bucs, Titans and Rams as the three remaining winless teams. Mark Sunday December 13 (NFL Week 14) on your calendars as a possible showdown of winless teams when the Rams play the Titans. I'm crossing my fingers for a tie.

At the other end of teams, we see the Patriots, Packers and Cardinals make a healthy jump to their ratings. That's not surprising considering those teams won 59-0, 26-0 and 27-3 respectively.

It's still reasonably early in the season so expect the major jumps in rankings to be less significant the further we go into the season.
