1. Giants 5-0
Until they lose, their number one.
2. Colts 5-0
How dominant have they been? Right now, 100% of the MVP votes should be going to Peyton Manning
3. Saints 4-0
They had a bye week last week. So, their players got rest for their HUGE game against the Giants this week.
4. Viqueens 5-0
How overrated are they? Well they've beaten the Rams, Browns, Lions (a combined 2-13) and the Packers (2-2; 6-10 last year and look like the same team) and the 49ers (overrated?). Well, to me, that says they are completely overrated. I expect a two score win by the Ravens this week, with about 3 picks.
5. Denver 5-0
Has there ever been a worse 5-0 team in the HISTORY of the NFL? ESPN's power rankings say, "The Broncos have silenced more doubters each week to the point where far fewer are around." That's just dumb. They beat the beloved New England Patriots and teams start saying this team is good. New England isn't good. And the Broncos are worse.
6. Chicago Bears 3-1
If I could, they'd be number 1 right now. This team is the best team in the NFC in my opinion, which is a fact. Btw, ESPN has the Bears ranked 12; that puts us behind 3 two loss teams -- Patriots, Jets, and Ravens. Anyone notice what coast all those teams are from?
7. Atlanta 3-1
They're gonna get their asses kicked this weekend. Enough said. 31-13. Btw, they deserve to be here b/c of their beat down on San Francisco.
8. Bengals 4-1
Okay, okay, they are starting to impress me. Beating the Steelers, Ravens, Packers, and Browns. That's 2 really quality wins, one eh win, and one you should have won. Considering they were one lucky ass play from being 5-0, I'd say they deserve to be here. If they can continue this trend, they'll convince me further.
9. Eagles 3-1
Another team that is totally overrated because of ESPN. How does an elite team get blown out at home? Answer: THEY DON'T! Minus the Bears in 2006, who, by the way, should have won that Superbowl. But, I'm not going to talk about it. Who have they beat? Kansas City, Carolina, and Tampa Bay. Wow, impressive, especially considering they got blown out by the one team that they played that was actually good.
10. Ravens 3-2
I still think this is the best team in the AFC. They're defense is dominant, Joe Flacco looks great, and they have some solid backs. I think we'll see them lose 20-12 to the Bears in the Superbowl.
11. Steelers 3-2
They move up a spot only because they are the Superbowl Champions. However, they have been far from impressive this year and if they play a close game against the Browns than they are going to drop like a rock in these rankings.
12. Chargers 2-2
The Chargers are gonna make the Broncos look ridiculous this year, count on it.
13. Arizona 2-2
I'm convinced they're going to win the division this year. However, that is by far the worst division in the NFL.
14. Jets 3-2
Although they lost to the Dolphins and the Saints, those might both be quality teams. We'll find out.
15. Packers 2-2
The Packers could be good, they could be bad. I don't see what all the fuse is about. They should be 1-3. One stupid special teams play away from the Bears being #3 on these rankings.
16. 49ers 3-2
They looked bad against the Falcons. That just goes to show you how overrated the Vikings are. Save one miracle play at the end of the game, and they go into Minnesota and beat the Vikings.
17. Patriots 3-2
The Patriots are the AFC's version of the Cowboys. A mediocre team that gets a lot of credit for nothing. They suck and they'll miss the playoffs for a second straight year.
18. Cowboys 3-2
They are the Cowboys of the... wait, they are the Cowboys. Its hard to call them even a mediocre team with the quality wins they have (Carolina, Tampa Bay, and KC) compared to the losses (Broncos and Giants). They have looked bad in all of their wins too. They suck.
19. Dolphins 3-2
Was anyone else impressed with this last victory? I certainly was.
20. Seattle 2-3
I can't justify the Jaguars being above Seattle after Seattle embarrassed them. Seattle could be the best team in that division, the rest of the season will decide that.
21. Jaguars 2-3
While they looked bad in one of the hardest stadiums to play, I still think they're gonna get the other wildcard spot this year.
22. Houston 2-3
They have a great offense (Schuab, Slaton, Daniels, Johnson, and Walter). They could use a little help on their defense. Oh well, maybe 1 or 2 years out from being a real contender for their division.
23. Carolina 1-3
I can't justify putting the Redskins above them, since (a) Carolina beat them; and (b) the Redskins nearly lost to the Rams and Tampa Bay. Thus, Carolina deserves to be here.
24. Detroit 1-4
They're here because they nearly beat the defending Superbowl Champions. But they drop because the lost. Plus, they beat the skins.
25. Redskins 2-3
The only reason they are this high is because they've got two wins. However, they have three losses (Lions, Panthers, and Giants). Two of those teams are awful, and they came close to losing to two horrible teams in the Rams and Bucs. By the way, why the HELL is the NFC East Schedule so damn easy?
26. Cleveland 1-4
They beat the Bills in perhaps the worst game ever. Congratulations.
27. Bills 1-4
Similarly, Congratulations in playing (and losing) in one of the worst games of all times. You're on your way to a top 5 pick!
28. Raiders 1-4
When do you decide to bench JaMarcus Russell? This team is full of crappy players.
29. Tennessee 0-5
Congratulations, after this week you'll probably be 1-5 after you beat the Cowtriots.
30. Kansas City 0-5
They're this high only because they nearly got a win last week.
31. Bucs 0-5
They are not the worst team only because I actually expect them to get at least 1 win this year.
32. Rams 0-5
However, I do not expect them to get a victory. You can tell you're historically bad when you turn the ball over multiple times in a game without being touched. Wow...
There you have it!
Love the Rankings, I agree, the Vikings are getting the love becasue of Farve cause they haven't played anybody. I want to see them play games outside and see how they do.
ReplyDeleteLove the Cowtriots. Hilarious.
New England this year = Indianapolis last year.
ReplyDeleteQB coming off major injury and slowly putting it together, problems on the o-line (Matt Light/Tony Ugoh), questionable depth at WR, problems on defense, and so on.
I'll just say I'm pretty confident in Tom Brady to put it together as the year goes on. Unless they really do miss Josh McDaniels that much...
Redskins play Kansas City this week, that's a pretty awful game.
ReplyDeleteCarolina plays TB this week, didn't those games used to mean something back in the day? Tampa Bay might as well go back to their old, awful orange unis.
