Power Rankings - Week 9

12 oz Power Rankings
Rank	Team	Record	Comment	Previous
1	Broncos	7-1	On bye and no one wanted to take their spot.	1
2	Chiefs	9-0	9-0 but 1 win against a team with a winning record (Dal 5-4). Very unimpressive in close wins the last 3 weeks (Buf, Cle, Hou).	3
3	49ers	6-2	Another benefit of the bye week and teams at the top sucking.	6
4	Patriots	7-2	The Patriots have not been healthy and they are 7-2 with their only losses coming to NYJ and Cin. Now, they are getting healthy.	10
5	Saints	6-2	Falling to a team that lost the previous week by 40 (NYJ) brings your team into question.	2
6	Seahawks	8-1	After being behind all game to a terrible TB team and their enormous struggles on the road, the Seahawks are looking shaky.	5
7	Bengals	6-3	Maybe they started believing all the hype they were getting. The loss of Atkins hurts big time.	7
8	Colts	6-2	A comeback win, but against a really bad Texans team. If not for the Kubiak situation, the Colts lose that game.	8
9	Lions	5-3	The Lions have Calvin Johnson. The Bears and Packers have injured QBs.	9
10	Panthers	5-3	Newton might be figuring things out in the NFL.	11
11	Cardinals	4-4	The Cardinals have weapons on offensive and a worthy defense. 3 of the 4 losses are to Sea, NO, SF (combined 19-4).	12
12	Bears	5-3	McCown was impressive and the defense is still strong.	15
13	Packers	5-3	Without Rodgers, this is a suspect roster. Without Rodgers, Cobb, Finley and Matthews, the Packers may be in trouble.	4
14	Cowboys	5-4	They are over .500 but far from good.	14
15	Titans	4-4	If Chris Johnson is back, the Titans can be a playoff contender.	16
16	Chargers	4-4	You just can't trust this team. They just have the looks of an "around .500 team"…just with a new coach	13
17	Jets	5-4	I put them here very reluctantly. 5-4 after 9 games is roughly 4-5 more wins than I thought they would have at this point. Give them credit.	22
18	Dolphins	4-4	They beat the Bengals, but did not look impressive doing so…oh yeah, and they have managed to  become the circus in a division that has the Jets.	18
19	Ravens	3-5	Did Joe Flacco sign a new contract or win a lottery ticket? It could be up for debate.	17
20	Browns	4-5	They beat the Ravens, but I just can't rank this team above last years Super Bowl champs yet.	23
21	Eagles	4-5	7 TDs on the West Coast against a defense that was supposed to be good is impressive. They are also 0-4 at home?	29
22	Redskins	3-5	They are playing better and may just have enough time to make a run in the worst division in football.	25
23	Bills	3-6	The Bills are a pleasant surprise that gave the Chiefs all they could handle. A good defense and an underrated offense.	20
24	Giants	2-6	Despite being 2-6 and an innate ability to give the ball to the opposing team, they still have a a shot at the division.	24
25	Rams	3-6	Kellen Clemens has filled in admirably, but this team was a below .500 team with it's starting QB.	19
26	Raiders	3-5	The Raiders may have been exposed as a fraud by the immortal Nick Foles and his 4-5 Eagles.	21
27	Falcons	2-6	I saw the Falcons taking a step back this year. 2-6 at the midway point is not what I was thinking.	28
28	Texans	2-6	Amazing to think this team may be done 8 games into the season.	26
29	Steelers	2-6	See the Falcons analysis and change the name to the Steelers.	27
30	Vikings	1-7	The Vikings had life against the Cowboys. Not enough to save a terrible season - or to win the game for that matter	30
31	Buccaneers	0-8	Nearly won in the most difficult venue in sports….nearly. Schiano might want to focus his long nights on his resume rather than game film.	31
32	Jaguars	0-8	Are they the worst NFL team or the best amateur team? Does it matter?	32
