Only two big surprises this week, the Browns beat the Saints and the Raiders blow out the Broncos. Other than that things went as many thought they would. With that said here are my week 8 NFL power rankings:
- Jets (even from last week)- They look like the best team right now
- Steelers (+1)- Big Ben has been great in his return
- Patriots (-1)- they have been struggling to beat teams of late
- Falcons (+3)- leading the NFL is passing yards
- Ravens (+1)- won an ugly one over the Bills
- Titans (+7)- on a 3 game winning streak
- Giants (+1)- on a four game winning streak
- Colts (-4)- Lose TE Clark for the year
- Texans (+1)- at 3-3 at the Colts might be a must win
- Saints (-5)- How did they lose to the upstart Browns
- Packers (even)- beat up on Favre and won a divisional game
- Chiefs (+3)- No one out west is stepping up to them
- Dolphins (-1)- 3-0 on the road, but winless at home
- Eagles (-5)- a team with 2 QB’s, is a team with no QB’s
- Buccaneers (+6)- they might be playoff bound
- Redskins (even)- They have won as many game in ’10 as they did in ’09
- Vikings (even)- we will see what happens with Favre
- Seahawks (+7)- Only team in their division with a winning record
- Chargers (even)- good offense, good defense, losing record not good
- Bears (even)- on a two game losing streak
- Cowboys (-1)- season may be over with Romo injury
- Rams (-4)- up and down year is due to their youth
- Bengals (even)- how is this team 2-4
- Raiders (+5)- what job kicking the snot out of Denver
- Cardinals (-1)- they win, they lose so on and so on
- Jaguars (-4)- when they lose, they lose big by 3 TD’s and more
- Browns (+3)- Mangini is like the energizer bunny
- Lions (-1)- a lot better than the 1-5 record indicates
- Broncos (-3)- that was embarrassing
- Panthers (+1)- they do not have to be the second winless team of all time
- 49ers (-3)- I don’t even know what to say anymore
- Bills (even)- They may not win a game at all
