Week 8 Power Rankings

 

12 oz Power Rankings
Rank	Team	Record	Comment	Previous
1	Broncos	7-1	The defense is a liability and the OL is getting thin, but Manning and the offense is so potent.	1
2	Saints	6-1	I like this Saints team and feel they are the team to beat in the NFC.	2
3	Chiefs	8-0	The first time in NFL history the team with the worst record the prior year starts 8-0.	4
4	Packers	5-2	The WRs keep getting hurt and Rodgers keeps putting up numbers - and Matthews will be back soon.	5
5	Seahawks	7-1	Championship teams don't put up 135 offensive yards. This team is mediocre at best away from Seattle.	3
6	49ers	6-2	A beat down of the hapless Jaguars means nothing, so the 49ers stay put.	6
7	Bengals	6-2	The Bengals just scored on the Jets again. Despite an impressive blowout, 7 still seems about right for this team.	7
8	Colts	5-2	A week of rest keeps the Colts put at 8.	8
9	Lions	5-3	Calvin Johnson is good.	9
10	Patriots	6-2	Brady is not right. 116 yards?	10
11	Panthers	4-3	The Panthers are over .500 for the first time since 2008 - and Cam for the first time in his career.	11
12	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).	16
13	Chargers	4-3	A bye week and some sucking by the teams ahead of them sees the Chargers move up 1.	14
14	Cowboys	4-4	No team can grasp defeat from the jaws of victory like the Cowboys.	11
15	Bears	4-3	The Bears look to just tread water until Cutler returns.	15
16	Titans	3-4	Not quite a playoff team, but close enough to beat some playoff teams.	17
17	Ravens	3-4	7 games into the Super Bowl defending season, the Ravens find themselves 2.5 games back already.	13
18	Dolphins	3-4	After a 3-0 start, the Dolphins have crashed back down to earth and now have a center wrapped up in the Hernandez mess.	19
19	Rams	3-5	An impressive showing on MNF gets the Rams a big jump. The defense looked good.	28
20	Bills	3-5	Without their starting QB and starting RB, the Bills are still competitive.	20
21	Raiders	3-4	Pryor is winning, but 279 yards of offense and 93 came on 1 play does not look like success.	25
22	Jets	4-4	The Jets were exposed by the Bengals as the fraud I thought they were, but 40 points? They move up because of so many terrible teams.	26
23	Browns	3-5	Played the Chiefs tough, but the QB situation is a mess and there is speculation they may be shopping Gordon.	26
24	Giants	2-6	Amazing to think a team is just 2 games out of first … welcome to the NFC East.	29
25	Redskins	2-5	RG3 may not be 100%, but the Redskins greatly overplayed in 2012. This is a 5-11 or 6-10 team.	21
26	Texans	2-5	Casey Keenum is the new starting QB - wow this team has fallen.	27
27	Steelers	2-5	They have gotten old and untalented very quickly.	23
28	Falcons	2-5	Amazing to think this team may be done 8 games into the season.	22
29	Eagles	3-4	Bad defense + Bad offense + 2 injured QBs = bad team.	18
30	Vikings	1-6	At least they showed some life and ability to move the ball this week.	30
31	Buccaneers	0-7	Schiano was 1 game over .500 at Rutgers. He is 9 games under .500 in the NFL.	31
32	Jaguars	0-8	After   8 "Unofficial" byes, the Jaguars have their "Official" by this week. The people of Jacksonville rejoice.	32
