MAILBAG Peter King will answer your questions each week in Monday Morning Quarterback: Tuesday Edition. Your name: Your e-mail address: Your home town: Enter your question:

1. New England (16-0). "In the salary-cap, free-agency era, I didn't think it could be done, and the Patriots did it,'' ex-Miami tight end Jim Mandich said. "They are a remarkable team.''

2. Indianapolis Colts (13-3). Interesting way the two top teams in football approach the final game of the season. New England plays like it's a playoff game. The Colts play like it's Reds-Pirates in Bradenton on March 9. What would worry me, obviously, is that for two weeks Tony Dungy has been positive Marvin Harrison will play for a few series before the playoffs. Harrison's balky knee came up sore last night in pregame warm-ups, and he was deactivated for the game against Tennessee. I've had enough of Indy's optimism on Harrison. I've got to think it'll be a bonus if he plays at all in the postseason.

3. Dallas (13-3). What an ugly tuneup at Washington.

4. Green Bay (13-3). Ryan Grant, get ready for your three weeks of football fame. Here it comes.

5. San Diego (11-5). Antonio Cromartie scored as many touchdowns this year (three) as any Chargers wide receiver except for Chris Chambers.

6. Jacksonville (11-5). Fred Taylor-Maurice Jones-Drew, in 15 games (both were inactive Sunday at Houston): 1,970 rushing yards, 5.1 per carry, 14 touchdowns. They'll be a handful for the Steelers.

7. Pittsburgh (10-6). Heal thyself, Ben Roethlisberger. The Steelers have lost to the Jags, Saturday's wild-card foe, three times in a row.

8. Tampa Bay (9-7). In the last six weeks of the season, Jeff Garcia played seven quarters. Against the Giants next week, will he be rested or rusty?

9. Tennessee (10-6). Kerry Collins played in six games this year and had no touchdowns and no interceptions. Strange. How about a playoff with a starter and backup who combined to throw nine touchdown passes?

10. New York Giants (10-6). Of all the injuries the Giants suffered against the Patriots, the biggest one is center Shaun O'Hara.

11. Washington (9-7). They would play any team in the NFC right now within a touchdown. Beware, Seattle.

12. Seattle (10-6). I have no idea what to think of this team. Sunday's futile effort at Atlanta meant nothing, and they are 6-1 in their last seven meaningful games. But will the Washington defense bring the improving Seattle pass offense down to earth?

13. Cleveland (10-6). Love the brains of the Browns fan. Banner in the stands at Cleveland's meaningless tilt versus Niners: "From the Office of the Commissioner -- Tony Dungy: Play Peyton or you'll be coaching Miami. Roger Goodell.'' And this one: "Sorgi Fan Club,'' in honor of the Colts' backup quarterback.

14. Philadelphia (8-8). Be ready for the calls from Baltimore for Donovan McNabb, Andy Reid.

15. Minnesota (8-8). Speaking of calls to get Donovan McNabb, the play of Tarvaris Jackson in the last seven weeks tells me this: The Vikings should not be among the McNabb suitors.
