Week 1 NFL Power Rankings
Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 7:08PM 
I love putting together my NFL Power Rankings each week. I think this is the sixth year in a row I’ve done it. Of course ranking NFL teams really means nothing since there’s a playoff, but it is fun to do. I do not look at any other power rankings prior to making my list.
It is hard to come up with anything after just one week. There are still so many question marks. There are clearly three teams in the upper tier. After that there is a fall off.
As always, thanks for reading, and if you have a comment leave it at the bottom. I usually irritate peeps with my rankings…
Top Ten:
1. SAINTS – They learned how to win without scoring a lot in week one.
2. RAVENS – My Super Bowl Champion pick. The Ravens defense was outstanding last night.
3. PATRIOTS – Easily could be another championship year for the Pats. They destroyed Cincy.
4. TITANS – This spot was tough. Like I said…big drop off. I like the Titans defense and running game.
5. GIANTS – I was surprised how well NY played in week one. I loved Nicks when he was at UNC.
6. PACKERS – Barf.
7. TEXANS – This seemed a bit too high, but the win over the Colts is a cornerstone victory.
8. COLTS – Even with a loss, and a loss of Bob Sanders, you can’t dismiss the baby horses.
9. VIKINGS – Offense looked poor, but they still barely lost to the champs on the road.
10. JETS – Incredible defense, but putrid offense.
Bottom Five: (#1 being the worst)
1. BRONCOS
2. BILLS
3. BROWNS
4. 49ERS
5. FALCONS

The Steelers will be on the top 5 of this list by week 6...best defense in NFLl and they are healthy!
Broncos the worst? C'mon, they were playing in terrible conditions. Besides, they kept it close. Did you not see Oakland?
Broncos are just awful IMO. I can't see them winning more than 4 games. However, you are correct about Raiders...I should've put them in my worst 5.
