2009 NFL WASEAN Ratings, through week 5

Like everyone else, WASEAN shows the Saints as the top team in the NFL, slightly past the quarter-pole of the season.

The system thinks the Broncos are for real - as are the Cowboys and Steelers - in their mediocrity. That 13-10 OT win over Tennessee isn't look so impressive, is it?

The biggest surprise is probably 2-3 Seattle at #10. But they do have a couple of blowout wins and a fairly close loss to like Bears. They've played a pretty tough schedule, We'll get a test of them this week when they play the Cardinals.
