The eliminated Bengals stay last and the 49ers survive injuries and a strong challenge from an up and coming division opponent to keep the top spot. Most movement comes from the confusing NFC South, where the Falcons and Panthers close what was a 17-spot gap between them and the Saints regain my confidence to jump the Seahawks and Packers on those teams’ bye weeks. the Colts and Steelers also move, albeit in different directions, after proving me wrong in divisional games.
