SIMERS’ RANKINGS

TOP 5

1. JACKSONVILLE

Jaguars need to tighten up defense after being hit for three points by 49ers.

2. MINNESOTA

Randy Moss predicted Vikings could score 60 if they wanted. They only wanted 17 last week.

3. MIAMI

Cold fish Dan Marino is sentimental pick to win Super Bowl. What next, Albert Belle Fan Club?

4. GREEN BAY

Anyone who has spent any time in Green Bay can relate to Brett Favre’s being moved to cry.

5. DALLAS

Mustard alert! Hot-dog Michael Irvin has twice as many TD catches as he had all last year.

BOTTOM F

27. SAN FRANCISCO

A case of the salary-cap blues. And it appears to be terminal.

28. CAROLINA

Only things keeping Panthers from winning are quarterback, running back, offense, defense.

29. BALTIMORE

Wonder how Ravens felt watching John Elway tribute, a day after watching Scott Mitchell play.

30. CLEVELAND

Is it too early to circle Dec. 5--a chance to win one game this season--in San Diego?

31. SAN DIEGO

The Chargers didn’t play last week but probably had a bad week of practice.
