Week 10 NFL Power Rankings

I have had a busy week at my new job, so I’m late on this.  All of the top teams went down last week.  I was going to have my 2 year old son just draw out ten teams…that might be more scientific.

Who is #1?  That is really tough.  The Patriots looked so good against the Steelers.  However, they looked so horrible against the Browns the week before.  I’m going to go with the Jets.  For no other reason than Rex Ryan makes me laugh.

The Eagles were very impressive too.  I didn’t think they would make the playoffs.  Now, a win over New York would make Philly the favorite to win the division.

So just before Thursday Night Football…here is my Top Ten.

TOP TEN

1.  JETS – Does New York deserve to be #1?  Probably not, but who else does?

2.  PATRIOTS – I dropped them like a rock after the Browns loss.  Time to move em up again.

3.  FALCONS – Atlanta is 7-2.  The Falcons Roddy White is the best WR in the league right now.

4.  STEELERS – What happened against the Patriots?  They will bounce back.

5.  RAVENS – Baltimore suffered a tough loss at Atlanta.  Ravens have a bye this week vs CAR.

6.  COLTS – Indy is really banged up.  How long can they keep it up?

7.  EAGLES – Showdown this week vs G-Men.  Vick was on another planet on MNF.

8.  SAINTS – I thought New Orleans would be higher in my rankings, but I like the other 7 better.

9.  GIANTS – I told you last week I didn’t believe in the Giants.  I still don’t.

10. BEARS – I am sure I’ll jinx my Bears for tonight’s game against Miami.

BOTTOM FIVE (1 being worst)

1.  PANTHERS

2.  BENGALS

3.  BILLS

4.  CARDINALS

5.  LIONS



Week 4 NFL Power Rankings

How crazy has this league been this year? Just when you think you have a team figured out…it turns out you know nothing! 

What did we learn from week 4?  The Bears offensive line is what we thought they were: garbage.  The Saints offense is still rusty.  The Colts are still suffering from a Super Bowl hangover.  The 49ers are the undisputed champs at finding different ways to lose.  The Dolphins special teams is as good as the Bears offensive line.  And finally, if you are going to flip off the referees, make sure the cameras are not on you!

On to the rankings:

TOP TEN

1. JETS – They deserve to be up here as much as anyone else.  I’m still not a total believer.

2. RAVENS – My Super Bowl pick is getting it together.  Nice final drive by Flacco.

3. STEELERS – Hard to dock them too much with a hobo at quarterback. 

4. SAINTS – They are nowhere near 2009 form.

5. PATRIOTS – Defense is still suspect, but they turned the Dolphins inside-out.

6. CHIEFS – Coming off the bye we’ll find out how good KC is this week in Indy.

7. FALCONS – I wanted to put ATL higher, although they really should’ve lost to SF.

8. TEXANS – Houston responds well in Oakland after the Texans embarrassing loss to Dallas.

9. COLTS – I still think it is good for them to be 2-2.  They need their backs up against the wall.

10. PACKERS – Barf

BOTTOM FIVE

1. PANTHERS

2. LIONS

3. BILLS

4. 49ERS
