7. I think teams have their strengths and weaknesses

I think it is the other way around. There are a lot of teams that are good but they struggle in certain areas.

Houston appears to be a complete a team. They are a little soft on run D but their pass D is great. Schaub is efficient at running the offense and they have the #2 rusher based on total yards who was #1 entering the week.

Atlanta actually has a weak pass D but they have a very good offense and an excellent home field advantage.

San Francisco, like the other NFC West teams has a great pass defense and one of the leagues' best run defenses. The pass the ball efficiently and lead the league in rushing yardage despite being #9 in rushing attempts.

Chicago is #2 in pass defense, behind San Francisco. Minnesota, Philadelphia, and Green Bay also have very good pass defenses as well.

Then you have division leaders NY Giants, New England, and Baltimore doing a horrible job of defending the pass.
