1. Merriman's Roid Rage 4-1 (AJ)
Only one loss all year, he leads the way in power rankings. Expect him to fall after this week... when I kick his ass!
2. Bearin' Down 3-2 (Me)
I took down Fodor last week, which is why I move ahead of him. Expect me to be sitting at that number one spot after this week. AJ, I'd be very scared if I were you!
3. The U! 3-2 (Fodor)
Man, has anyone else fallen so fast. My guess, Steve gets his first win this week against Fodor.
4. Forte-Six Defense 0-5 (Steve)
Pathetic.

New Power Rankings: Week 6
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!
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

Week 5 Power Rankings
1. New York Giants 4-0
Best record in the NFC last year, Superbowl Champions two years ago, and the best record in the NFC this year. They are playing dominating football right now.
2. Indianapolis Colts 4-0
Peyton Manning has been beyond impressive this year. They look like the class of the AFC.
3. New Orleans Saints 4-0
They showed that they can win a defensive battle last week, and they did it versus another undefeated team. A strong running game by Pierre Thomas adds another dimension to this offense.
4. Minnesota Vikings 4-0
This team is the most overrated team in the league right now. Somehow they are supposed to have a great defense meanwhile the Packers threw for nearly 400 yards. They're defense is clearly one dimensional, and I still am not a believer in Favre at 40.
5. Denver Broncos 4-0
Once they lose this week, they are going to drop significantly in my power rankings. They aren't good. If they play the Cowboys 10 times this year they go 3-7, and the Cowboys are an average team.
6. Chicago Bears 3-1
A perfect time to have their bye week: Matt Forte and Pisa Tinoisomoa will have time to get heatlhy (in Forte's case he'll have time to get even healthier). They're defense has been looking good without Urlacher, and if Forte and the running game get going, they are going to be REALLY hard to beat.
7. Baltimore Ravens 3-1
A couple of cheap penalty calls by the refs from being 4-0. Tom Brady is a bitch.
8. New York Jets 3-1
They played a solid game against the Saints even though Mark Sanchez turned the ball over like it was his day job.
9. New England Patriots 3-1
They are not above the Ravens because they won on bitch calls, because Tom Brady is a bitch. This team really should be 1-3 (should have lost to the Ravens, and should have lost to the Bills). They aren't that good.
10. 49ers 3-1
They obliterated the worst team in the NFL.
11. Cincinnatti Bengals 3-1
I don't believe in this team. I think they are the third best team in their division.
12. Steelers 2-2
Last year's superbowl champions have been far from impressive this year. They nearly blew a game which was looking like a blow out.
13. Jacksonville Jaguars 2-2
They have been playing well over their last two games.
14. Atlanta 2-1
Their only loss was to the Patriots and they have looked like the team they were last year, however, the teams they have their wins against are a combined 1-6. The real test will come over the next three weeks: 49ers, Bears, and Cowboys.
15. Eagles 2-1
Although the Saints made them look ridiculous, however, they still have a winning record, and the next three teams they play, the Bucs, Raiders, and Redskins, should be wins.
16. Chargers 2-2
I think they are going to win their division, and their next game is against the Broncos in two weeks, so they may be in first place by then.
17. Green Bay 2-2
They nearly came back to tie the Vikings in Minnesota. They have a bye week this week then they play the Lions and Browns, which should be two easy wins. They are still the one of the more overrated teams in the NFC, I don't know why ESPN jumped on their bandwagon... oh wait, yes I do! ESPN is ridiculously dumb.
18. Houston 2-2
This is a team that might be able to sneak into the playoffs, and their next three games will tell us a lot. They play the Cardinals, Bengals, and 49ers. If they manage to win all of the games, they'll go to the playoffs, if they win two, they'll have a shot, if they lose two or more then no playoffs this year.
19. Dallas 2-2
They lost in Denver because Tony Romo is not that good. He kept overthrowing his WR's, which cost me a game in fantasy. Looks like another case of ESPN claiming that someone is the next great thing, and being totally wrong.
20. Arizona 1-2
They need a strong week this week against the Texans. Unfortunately, I think they are going to lose.
21. Seahawks 1-3
I'm going to give them the benefit of the doubt. They've played some tough teams: Bears, Colts, and 49ers. And in all of those loses they've played without Matt Hasselbeck for at least part of the game. However, their next three games don't provide much of a break for them: Jacksonville, Cardinals, and Cowboys.
22. Redskins 2-2
I'm a little hesitant to put them this high. However, they do have two wins. Although those two wins were against two of the worst teams in the league (Bucs and Rams) and they beat those two teams by a combined 5 points. Jim Zorn is on the verge of losing his job.
23. Detroit 1-3
They lost 48-24 against the Bears, getting completely shut down in the second half. However, they looked good in the first half, and they have some talent on their offense. Not to mention, their three loses are against the Vikings, Bears, and Saints, and they play in the hardest division in the NFL. Yes, I said it.
24. Miami 1-3
They laid a beat down on fellow 1-3 team Buffalo last week. Ronnie Brown has been much improved this year, however, Henne has looked like crap. I wonder how long until we see Thigpen.
25. Buffalo 1-3
They looked like crap last week, however, they could be 2-2 if they didn't blow that game against the Patriots. They also didn't look like crap when they lost to New Orleans. This team may have some potential, but who really believes Dick Jauron is the coach that will bring that out?
26. Oakland 1-3
JaMarcus Russell has been crap. I don't know why he was the number 1 overall pick, I think everyone knew he had no chance to be successful in this league. He sucks, and will continue to suck. Until Oakland realizes this, they too will continue to suck.
27. Tennessee 0-4
The best record in the NFL last year has already lost more games this year than they did last year. While they are far more talented than a winless team, they aren't that good, and I called it; as I'm sure others did as well.
28. Kansas City 0-4
Trading for Matt Cassell was ridiculously dumb. Trading away Thigpen was ridiculously dumb. This team needs to have a few great drafts to get back to the top of their division, which is by far the worst division in the NFL.
29. Carolina 0-3
They are this high because they don't have 4 losses. Jake Delhomme suddenly got struck with the Ican'tmakeaplaytosavemylife-itis. Lets hope he gets cured from that this week and Steve Smith has 150 yards 2 tds (he is on my fantasy team).
30. Tampa Bay 0-4
They're bad, but I think they are better than the two teams below them in these rankings.
31. Cleveland 0-4
They get moved up this week because Derek Anderson got to play and they scored TD's. Meanwhile...
32. St. Louis 0-4
They got shut out for their second time this year. They are averaging 6 points a game while allowing 27. They are bad, and they might go 0-16. But I will wait til week 10 before making any such prediction.
Best record in the NFC last year, Superbowl Champions two years ago, and the best record in the NFC this year. They are playing dominating football right now.
2. Indianapolis Colts 4-0
Peyton Manning has been beyond impressive this year. They look like the class of the AFC.
3. New Orleans Saints 4-0
