2010 Top 10 Rushing Teams and their win/loss records:
1) Houston 3-1
2) NY Jets 3-1
3) KC 3-0
4) ATL 3-1
5) Vikes 1-2
6) Raiders 1-3
7) Steelers 3-1
8) Giants 2-2
9) Titians 2-2
10)Chargers 2-2
2010 Top 10 Passing Teams and their win/loss records:
1) Denver 2-2
2) Colts 2-2
3) Chargers 2-2
4) Cowboys 1-2
5) Saints 3-1
6) Bengals 2-2
7) Lions 0-4
8) Texans 3-1
9) Giants 2-2
10)Falcons 3-1
It is best to be balanced than heavy on one side. The teams that have the WR's that are producing huge/crazy numbers like previous years Denver/Brandon Marshall were not usually winning teams.

I'm sure if you asked a bunch of "experts" for the ten best passing teams in football, the Lions, and Bengals would be on it.
Those lists are meaningless. It's an arbitrary grouping of teams.
