New NFL Power Rankings

Sorry I've been away so long, I had a big paper due for school. Anyways, I'm back with my new NFL power rankings.


1. Giants 3-0

Last year they were the best team in the NFC, the previous year they won the Superbowl, this year they are undefeated.

2. Baltimore Ravens 3-0

This team was one game away from being in the Superbowl last year. This year they seem to have added an offense. This may be the best team in the league, and they were my preseason pick to represent the AFC in the Superbowl.

3. Indianapolis Colts 3-0

Peyton Manning is playing great, and the team is off to a fast start, once again. Thus, the team is 3.

4. New Orleans Saints 3-0

They have dominated their opponents. They've finally got a good ground game to compliment Drew Brees, who has been unbelievable.

5. New York Jets 3-0

They've beaten some pretty good teams on their way to being 3-0. That is why they are here. I still don't believe in Matt Sanchez.

6. Minnesota Vikings 3-0

They're 3-0, yet they've really played no one, and they didn't pull away from some of the worst eams in the league (Browns, Lions) until late in the game. The only reason they are this high is because they are 3-0.

7. Chicago Bears 2-1

A team that is one boneheaded play (Garrett Wolfe, Packers) from being 3-0. They've played the Steelers, and went into the hardest stadium to play in and won. They went 2-1 against probably the hardest part of their schedule. The Bears have also established that they won't crack under pressure as Jay Cutler has actually led the Bears on 3 late game drives to take the lead. It would be nice to see a blowout of the Lions and see the running game get going. Just because Chicago lost the 2016 doesn't mean they aren't going to win the Superbowl (2020 here we come!)

8. Denver 3-0

The only reason they are this high is because they are undefeated. And they did it against some awful teams (Raiders, Browns, Bengals). If they make it to the playoffs they are guaranteed to be one and done.

9. Patriots 2-1

Sort of struggling a bit, but they are an older team. However, Fred Taylor looked good in his first chance. He may make the difference for this team.

10. Atlanta 2-1

Looking like the Falcons of last year, and a possible division winner.

11. Chargers 2-1

Only loss was against a great Ravens team. I could justify putting them at 9.

12. Packers 2-1

The reason they aren't ahead of the Bears is because they didn't look like the better team in that game. The Packers got lucky that they won that game and then proceeded to lose to the Bengals.

13. Bengals 2-1

They beat the Packers, they could have a really good offense, and their defense has been really good. Enough said.

14. 49ers 2-1

Nearly beat the Vikings, beat Seattle, and also beat the Cardinals. If it wasn't for a miracle play this team would be 3-0. This may be too low for them, but they may move up after this week.

15. Philadelphia 2-1

Unlike the Cowboys, they've actually looked good in both of their wins. However, they looked bad in their loss to the Saints. I don't know why people predicted this team to be in the Superbowl this year; they got into the playoffs last year on luck alone.

16. Cowboys 2-1

They struggled against the Panthers and took an entire half before they pulled away from the Bucs. OVERRATED.

17. Seattle 1-2

They're two losses were close, and to two pretty tough teams (Bears, 49ers). That's why they are the best of the worst.

18. Pittsburgh 1-2

A HUGE drop since week 1. They've dropped two straight, including one to the Bengals. However, one can't blame them for them for losing to the Bears.

19. Arizona 1-2

This team has looked BAD since last year. But who really thought they'd be good again?

20. Jacksonville 1-2

A pretty impressive win against the Texans. This team has the talent, we'll see what they can do this year.

21. Raiders 1-2

A close loss to the Chargers, and a bad loss last week, put them here. JaMarcus Russell is awful. Maybe they'll land Colt McCoy this year.

22. Buffalo 1-2

Played a good game against the Saints. Dick Jauron needs to get this team focused quickly if he hopes to hang onto his job.

23. Houston 1-2

They beat the Titans, and almost beat the Jags. They're defense needs to play better if they hope to turn this season around.

24. Lions 1-2

The Lions finally broke out of that slump, and I think they are better than a 4 win team. They have a lot of young players that could mature into real talent. However, that's not happening this year.

25. Redskins 1-2

I was banking on Jason Campbell having somewhat of a breakout year. However, they've look BAD. Ignore that 11-5 or 12-4 prediction I had earlier, this team ain't going anywhere.

26. Titans 0-3

The best of the 0-3 teams, but that is like saying they're the best tasting dog shit. No one cares, glad to see that I was right about this team being a pretender.

27. Kansas City 0-3

They've been close to beating teams. However, they just made a pretty dumb trade (their best qb for probably a mid-round draft pick). They do seem like they are trying to completely rebuild, but overpaying Matt Cassell was not the way to do it.

28. Dolphins 0-3

They landed Tyler Thigpen and could improve as a result. Their still bad though.

29. Carolina 0-3

Jake Delhomme has been awful since the playoffs. Sucks for me because Steve Smith is on my fantasy team.

30. Tampa Bay 0-3

They're defense sucks, they're offense sucks, they suck, period.

31. St. Louis Rams 0-3

They move up in my mind, and not because of their play, but because the Browns are just unbelievably bad.

32. Cleveland Browns 0-3

Can they score their first touchdown in 10 games? We'll find out. One thing is for sure, they are doing their best to land Sam Bradford. Yay, another QB in the first round. Have fun sucking Cleveland!
