Even though they are 1-2 against the AFC this season, the New York Giants have run roughshod over the Bears, Texans, Lions, Cowboys and Seahawks during their past five weeks. They have outscored their opponents by an average margin of 32-15 during that stretch. None of the Giants' wins have come against a likely playoff qualifier, leaving Big Blue needing a signature win where we can take them truly seriously. The rest of the top-five is comprised of AFC teams of varying current trajectory, with the Ravens and Steelers looking as though they will meet for three times in a single season as they did in 2008. Green Bay is trending upwards with their gritty road win against the Jets and the unapologetic manner in which they finished off Wade Phillips' run with Dallas. The Trench Counter formula creates a completely objective examination. The true intention of this type of ranking system is to identify teams that may be over or underrated. 1.
