NFL Power Rankings

This weekend was great for offense. Like the GM posted earlier it was the most points a weekend has ever produced. I was at work on Sunday so I didn't see much of those games but last night's game between New Orleans and Green Bay was fun to watch. It was like the offenses could score at will and I guess it went along with the theme of the weekend.

There are no more unbeatens as the Jets handled the Titans. Everyone is excited about the Cowboys again even though they beat the 49ers at home. The Lions still haven't won a game and that's going to make the Thanksgiving game all the more interesting. Haha, I think the Lions show up Thursday but don't win, again!

I will be giving a bonus pick 6 just for Thanksgiving so check that out come Turkey day if you want to make some extra money on your day off.

But for now I am going to do my Power Rankings for the week!

Here we go:

10. Atlanta Falcons - They scored 45 on Carolina who I had in the top 5 for a long time. Michael Turner is a beast and Matt Ryan is pretty good! It's been 8 years running that the team that finished last in this division finishes first the next year and Atlanta is making this really interesting.

9. New England Patriots - Matt Cassel had another monster game and if he keeps just throwing it up to Moss this team will be dangerous. I still don't have confidence in the defense however, which is why I can't really put them any higher then this.

8. Carolina Panthers - Jake Delhomme finally had a good game but it was because they were playing from behind the entire game. They couldn't stop Atlanta at all and that worries me because I don't think they have the offense to go out and win shoot-outs. They better straighten up or it might be an early exit from the playoffs. If they make it that is.

7. Arizona Cardinals - They lost at home to the Giants 37-29. That is not a bad loss at all. They fall a few spots because some teams behind them had impressive wins. This team will still win this horrible division and still may get the second seed in the NFC. The offense is great but the defense leaves a lot to be desired.

6. Indianapolis Colts - Went into San Diego and won a very tough game. Vinatieri is money when it comes in the clutch. Another game winning field goal and this was from 51 yards. This team has quietly snuck into the playoffs as they are the second wild-card team right now. Their schedule is favorable for this team to finish very strong. It may be too late for them to win the division but some team better look at in the wild-card round.

5. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - The final score was a 38-20 victory. They, however, trailed at the end of the first quarter 17-0. If they had played anyone but Detroit they would've been in trouble. It's good that they got their act together and came back and won but it scares me a little. Still a very good team though.

4. New York Jets - They are not the best team in the AFC right now and Brett Favre is not the MVP either. This was a good win and anytime you beat an undefeated you are going to get a lot of hype but this team still needs to keep winning to convince they are a Superbowl favorite. I still think they are very good.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers - Remember when they played last Thursday night and just handled their business against Cincy. Yea, it was 27-10 and that's pretty much all I have to say about that. This defense is one of the best in the NFL. This team is for real and could easily go to the Superbowl.

2. Tennessee Titans - I know, it was only one loss and the Jets are pretty good. Trust me, I am not dropping them far and I still think they are really good but I just feel that the Giants are a little better right now. This takes nothing away from this team. The defense is still great, the run game is awesome and Collins is solid. Don't all of the sudden fall asleep on this team because you might wake up in February and see them playing for it all.

1. New York Giants - Went to Arizona and beat the high-powered Cardinals 37-29. Justin Tuck is amazing and they didn't even have Brandon Jacobs. This is a complete team that is far and away the best in the NFC right now.

There ya have it! The playoff races are shaping up and its only going to get better from here!
