there's Favre He has my vote for MVP right now

I'm sold on him now; even if he short-arms the ball and doesn't quite look the part when he's back there making his tosses. SD's running backs have settled into a bit of a comfort zone, with LaDainian Tomlinson and Darren Sproles providing what's necessary when called upon in different roles. If I had to pinpoint a weakness for this team, it would be a lack of defensive consistency and a little too much of a gambler's mentality.3 Minnesota Vikings (10-1)I love this team. I think this particular Vikings' unit would have been the best in the NFL last season. That statement speaks volumes about the strength of the league's premier teams in '09.Getting to the specifics, well...there's Favre He has my vote for MVP right now. Adrian Peterson hasn't been a dominant force this year, but he provides a threat and the opportunity for Favre to captain a balanced attack.

Sidney Rice, Percy Harvin, and Visanthe Shiancoe have really broken out, making it difficult for opposing defenses to prepare for any one aspect of Minnesota's air attack.Defensively, the Vikings have the top line in the league It's a no-brainer. The Williams boys, Pat and Kevin (no relation) clog the run, while monster Jared Allen (one of the favorites for Defensive Player of the Year) runs wild around the outside As a group, they are unstoppable. Brad Childress' linebacking core has also performed well, a pleasant surprise for them, and the secondary has been adequate.I love the balance on this team A legitimate Super Bowl contender.2. Indianapolis Colts (11-0)Yes they're undefeated through 11 ballgames, but I don't feel any invincibility from these Colts. These are mere mortals, led by one of the top three players in the world (Peyton Manning, of course) and a "new" head coach who can do no wrong at the moment.Indianapolis is great, but this isn't an undefeated team the likes of the '07 Patriots The team at the No 1 spot, on the other hand...is.1 New Orleans (11-0)Wow.Wow Wow Wow.What a team. An MVP candidate at quarterback in Drew Brees; three valuable running backs in Pierre Thomas, Reggie Bush, and Mike Bell; five viable receiving options in Marques Colston, Robert Meachem, Devery Henderson, Jeremy Shockey, and Lance Moore; a fantastic head coach, and a defense that has pulled off one of the most incredible 180's in the history of professional football.Where are the weaknesses on this team Is there even one, single weaknessWell actually, PK John Carney has looked surprisingly shaky.
