- A Bear-Sized Attitude Problem?: Last week, Jay Cutler appeared to be having problems with members of his offensive line in Chicago's 23-10 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field. Was the whole thing just blown way out of proportion, or are there underlying issues between Cutler and his teammates? We'll tell you.

- Cardinals Stun the Trojans...Again: On Saturday, Stanford managed to upend USC for the fourth-straight time, knocking off the favored Trojans 21-14. Did the loss end USC's chances of playing in the BCS Championship Game, or do Matt Barkley and company still have time to recover? Our answers might surprise you.

- Phillies in Contention?: Two months ago, Philadelphia was so deep in the postseason race hole that they had to have daylight pumped to them through a straw. Now, they're within striking distance of the second Wild Card spot in the National League. How did this happen, and can they close the deal on a playoff berth? Hear our take.

Plus:

We break down the evolution of quarterback Alex Smith, pick who the best team in the NFL is, and name our biggest surprises from Week 2!
