| NOW | LAST | TEAM | RECORD | THE SPORTS JERK'S REASONING |
| #1 | #2 | Chargers | 13-3 | There's no team hotter heading into the playoffs & no QB playing better than Philip Rivers. Bad news for the Colts... |
| #2 | #1 | Colts | 14-2 | All the momentum of their 14-0 start is gone, and Jim Caldwell went from chasing history to an enemy of the state. |
| #3 | #3 | Saints | 13-3 | Fortunately for the Saints, most of the NFC playoff teams stumbled across the finish line along with them. |
| #4 | #11 | Cowboys | 11-5 | So long crazy talk about another Cowboy swoon, hello serious Superbowl aspirations for everyone down in Dallas. |
| #5 | #5 | Vikings | 12-4 | I'm not sure if they righted their ship or if they faced a dying Giants team that will be blown up in the off-season. |
| #6 | #4 | Eagles | 11-5 | THIS is why Andy Reid didn't deserve a contract extension yet!!! http://www.AxeAndyReid.com, back from the dead. |
| #7 | #7 | Packers | 11-5 | You know Cheese-head nation likes their chances after killing AZ and with the Saints, Vikings, & Eagles all stumbling. |
| #8 | #6 | Patriots | 10-6 | Bill Belichick has officially gone from being hands down the best Coach in the NFL to being a certified lunatic in 6 weeks. |
| #9 | #8 | Cardinals | 10-6 | Unlike Philly, Arizona had nothing to play for and can pretend they layed down on purpose in Week 17 vs. Green Bay. |
| #10 | #19 | Jets | 9-7 | Revis Island has quickly become the most infamous and feared Wide Receiver prison in the United Teams of the NFL. |
| #11 | #9 | Bengals | 10-6 | Ochocinco has become the 1st Pro-Bowl caliber wide receiver to be officially put in Solitary Confinement on Revis Island. |
| #12 | #12 | Ravens | 9-7 | Baltimore heads into the Wildcard playoffs feeling pretty good about playing the Pats, especially without Wes Welker. |
| #13 | #13 | Titans | 8-8 | Super-Congrats to Titans RB Chris Johnson for putting up one of the best seasons in NFL history by a Running back!!! |
| #14 | #14 | Steelers | 9-7 | Mike Tomlin (a.k.a. Omar Epps 2) has to be kicking something over those losses to terrible teams in October/November. |
| #15 | #18 | Texans | 9-7 | A strong finish by Houston should enable Gary Kubiak to keep his job and stud WR Andre Johnson to stay another year. |
| #16 | #21 | Falcons | 9-7 | Mini shout-out to Atlanta for finishing with a winning record in back-to-back seasons for the 1st time in team history. |
| #17 | #22 | Panthers | 8-8 | Panthers fans everywhere will spend all off-season wondering what could have been with Matt Moore at QB all season. |
| #18 | #20 | 49ers | 8-8 | QB Alex Smith finally showed promise, but did he do enough for San Fran to really/fully trust him heading into 2010? |
| #19 | #16 | Dolphins | 7-9 | Considering all the injuries they suffered, Miami had a hell of a season and found out Chad Henne IS their guy at QB. |
| #20 | #24 | Bears | 7-9 | Left for dead at mid-season, Jay Cutler & the Bears finished strong, potentially letting Lovie Smith keep his job as HC. |
| #21 | #15 | Broncos | 8-8 | From 6-0 and on top of the world to 8-8 and near rock bottom, the winner of the Jay Cutler trade is back to undecided. |
| #22 | #17 | Jaguars | 7-9 | Some think the Jags over-performed given their talent level, but a losing season is a losing season in my book. |
| #23 | #10 | Giants | 8-8 | OOOH HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN!!! BACK UP THE TRUCK, GRAB THE TNT, AND BLOW THIS TEAM UP JERRY REESE! |
| #24 | #23 | Bills | 6-10 | I'm not sure how to judge T.O.'s first & last season in Buffalo given the QB's he played with, but it sure wasn't pretty. |
| #25 | #28 | Browns | 5-11 | The good news is the Browns played hard down the stretch for Mangini. The bad news is he will surely be fired anyway. |
| #26 | #25 | Seahawks | 5-11 | When your former coach chooses to go work for the BROWNS over returning to you, that means you're in BIG trouble. |
| #27 | #26 | Redskins | 4-12 | Jim Zorn was quickly fired after the season and Mike Shanahan was flown in, but what do the Skins do at Quarterback? |
| #28 | #30 | Chiefs | 4-12 | Todd Haley's first season was a disaster in KC, but at least they will allow him a chance to rebuild the team further. |
| #29 | #27 | Raiders | 5-11 | JaMarcus Russell almost looked like a real NFL QB in relief duty these last few weeks, but Oakland needs to cut him loose. |
| #30 | #31 | Buccaneers | 3-13 | With news out of Tampa saying Raheem Morris will be back, he damn sure better bring in some strong new coordinators. |
| #31 | #29 | Lions | 2-14 | The Lions have some real pieces in place on offense, but without a whole new defense, Jim Schwartz is doomed. |
| #32 | #32 | Rams | 1-15 | With the first pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select Ndamaukong Suh, Defensive Tackle from Nebraska. |
