The Fine Fifteen: Great QB play separates upper echelon

Patriots, Packers, Cardinals. Those are my top three teams after three weeks of football, in that order, but if you disagree, have at it. You can put those teams in any order, and I would not argue. And if you want to put Denver or Cincinnati in there somewhere, be my guest. It’s late September and I really should be back at (pro football predicting) school.

I had hoped Monday night to get some clarity in this scientific exercise known as the Fine Fifteen, and I did. Green Bay so manhandled a good Kansas City defense—all those who predicted the Chiefs would give up 30 a game in September, go to the head of the class—that I am having the Packers leapfrog the Cardinals this morning at number two.
