NFL Power Rankings Week 10

Patriots win the game of the century! Here is a look at the power rankings heading into week 10.


1. New England Patriots
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: I honestly don't know how people are STILL ranking the Colts ahead
of them. Yes, they barely won the game on Sunday, but they won an
away game against the undefeated Colts. This team is going to coast
the rest of the season.


2. Indianapolis Colts
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: If there was a 1.5 I'd move this team there. They were the only team
to give the Patriots a real scare (minus a few brief seconds by the
Cowboys). They'll end up with a 13-3 or 14-2 record which will be
good enough for a 1st round bye.


3. Dallas Cowboys
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: I laugh at all of you who say that the Eagles would beat them. For
the last time, THE EAGLES AREN'T GOOD. The Cowboys on the other hand
are continuing to prove they deserve the role of the NFC Kings.


4. Green Bay Packers
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: Here comes the broken record again...This time always keeps it close,
but manages to find ways to pull off wins. Thats the most important
thing and that is why they are 7-1.


5. New York Giants
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: A huge game next week against their division rivals, the Cowboys.
With a win they could pull into a tie for first in the division.
Lets see if they can take advantage of their 6-2 record this year or
blow it after the bye again.


6. Pittsburgh Steelers
Move from Week 9: +1
Why?: A Monday night blowout by the Steelers. I didn't expect the Ravens
offense to do anything productive against them, but I did expect
somewhat of a defensive effort. The Steelers absolutely blew them
out of the water.


7. Tennessee Titans
Move from Week 9: +1
Why?: Another surprisingly mediocre performance from Vince Young, but the
defense was able to hold the Panthers in check resulting in a 6-2
record for this team.


8. Detroit Lions
Move from Week 9: +2
Why?: Can people start believing me now when I say that this team is the
real deal? Not only did they beat the Broncos, they DESTROYED them
44-7.


9. Jacksonville Jaguars
Move from Week 9: -3
Why?: Couldn't expect this team to keep winning under Quinn Gray's QB-ing
(this is despite having his best game). A "playoff on-the-line" game
against the Titans could spell trouble for this team.


10. Cleveland Browns
Move from Week 9: +7
Why?: I told you I'd skyrocket this team if they won. They almost
couldn't pull it off, but they found a way to win. I can't believe
I'm actually saying that the Bronws are the real deal.


11. Washington Redskins
Move from Week 9: +1
Why?: A sloppy OT win against the horrible Jets, but if you win a game in
this league, chances are you're moving up.


12. San Diego Chargers
Move from Week 9: -3
Why?: They got destroyed against a mediocre Vikings team. Fortunately for
this team they might make the playoffs due to the division they are
in.


13. Baltimore Ravens
Move from Week 9: -2
Why?: This team is on the verge of having no playoff hopes after getting
dominated against the Steelers last night.


14. Seattle Seahawks
Move from Week 9: -1
Why?: This is the first time all year I'm saying that a loss to the Browns
doesn't move you down too far in the rankings.


15. New Orleans Saints
Move from Week 9: +3
Why?: Sunday's game was a huge win for the Saints. Until then they were
only beating the teams they should have been beating, but they
destroyed the Jaguars and are now looking like playoff contenders.


16. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Move from Week 9: -1
Why?: I only am moving them down because I couldn't put them above anybody
else. They surpassed their win total already from last year which
really isn't much of an accomplishment.


17. Kansas City Chiefs
Move from Week 9: -3
Why?: They lost just like everyone else who lost to the Packers. They
couldn't hold onto a lead and ended up barely losing.


18. Buffalo Bills
Move from Week 9: +2
Why?: This team is standing at a surprising 4-4 record after beating the
Bengals on Sunday. Yes, they are beating mediocre at best teams,
but this could give them the confidence they need to finish the
season strong.


19. Carolina Panthers
Move from Week 9: -3
Why?: They are in a lot of trouble especially with the Buccs and Saints
winning on Sunday. David Carr's injury can actually help this
team. I'd rather have my mom QB then him.


20. Minnesota Vikings
Move from Week 9: +5
Why?: Whooooa Adrian Peterson. A rookie set the record for the most
rushing yards in a game. Who cares if they don't have a QB. Adrian
more than makes up for it.


21. Houston Texans
Move from Week 9: +3
Why?: The bottom feeders in the AFC South are 4-5. This team is in the
toughest division in football so their 4-5 record is better than it
looks.


22. Arizona Cardinals
Move from Week 9: -3
Why?: From potential sleeper team to playing like they are practically
dead. They have lost 3 in a row and are slowly slipping away from
any playoff hopes.


23. Chicago Bears
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: I won't move them down on their bye because I feel bad. They'll
give me plenty of reasons to move them down when they return.


24. Denver Broncos
Move from Week 9: -3
Why?: After a sudden surge, this team got spanked by the Lions. Goodbye
playoffs.


25. Philadelphia Eagles
Move from Week 9: -3
Why?: I've said this in the Cowboys rankings and I've said this in the
past, but THE EAGLES AREN'T GOOD. They aren't playoff contenders
and they'll be in last place in the division. Stop thinking
they are going to win games!


26. Atlanta Falcons
Move from Week 9: +2
Why?: I don't want to put them here, but everyone else lost. They'll
drop after their next game.


27. Cincinnati Bengals
Move from Week 9: -1
Why?: Put a second fork into them. This team is beyond done. A new word
needs to be invented to describe their playoff hopes.


28. Oakland Raiders
Move from Week 9: -1
Why?: Losers of 4 straight in a row, the Raiders are reverting to their
old tricks of not being able to win more than 3 games a season.


29. New York Jets
Move from Week 9: +1
Why?: Ok I'm moving them after losing, but they kept it close against
the Skins and lost in OT. Plus Clemens didn't look that bad.


30. San Fransisco 49ers
Move from Week 9: -1
Why?: They couldn't beat a horrible Falcons team. They have the worst
offense in the league. I'm moving this team in further down if
either the Rams or Dolphins win.


31. Miami Dolphins
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: Ronnie Brown is out, but Chatman looked great last week. Lets
see if he can carry this team to their first win.


32. St. Louis Rams
Move from Week 9: 0
Why?: They're playing New Orlenas away next week. That's a guaranteed
loss. This team is like the fat nerdy kid in gym class who always
got picked last except slightly worse.
