I'm liking the Ravens, Jets, Pats, Giants, 49ers and the Steelers.

I agree with you on the Broncos, because I even mentioned how they haven't had a very difficult schedule yet. The Vikings could also drop off eventually, but I still think they'll make the playoffs. I think that the Saints will be a big contender for the NFC though, even if their defense isn't the best.
I guess that I only mentioned the undefeated teams up there. I do agree with you regarding the Ravens, Jets, and Patriots. The 49ers do look good in the NFC West and it looks like they're going to dominate that division. I just hope that the Eagles stick in there with the Giants. Maybe once McNabb is back we'll get things going again. As for the Steelers, yes they're good, but it does seem like they have been giving away the 4th quarter to their opponents. They lost the Bengals and the Bears that way, and they almost gave up a huge lead to the Chargers.
As of right now I think the contenders for each league are as follows:
AFC East:
Patriots and Jets
AFC North:
Ravens, and then the Bengals and Steelers are going to be tied for this second spot, but overall it seems like this division could be like the AFC East was last year.
AFC South:
Colts, and then maybe the Jaguars, but there probably won't be a wild card team from this division
AFC West:
Obviously this will be between the Broncos and the Chargers, and the Broncos have the advantage right now.
NFC East:
Giants and then the Eagles, and the Cowboys always pose a threat.
NFC North:
This one is tough, but it looks like the Vikings are leading it as of now, and the Packers and Bears are fighting for the second spot.
NFC South:
Saints and then the Falcons, who could probably get a wild card spot
NFC West:
49ers, and probably the Cardinals next considering that they did so well last year, but we've yet to see much from them this year.
Obviously I'm not picking the teams that are going to make the playoffs yet, but from the AFC it looks like the wild cards will be from the East and North, and from the NFC it also looks like the wild cards will be from the East and North, or maybe the South considering the Falcons, but who knows because it's way too early.
