Bosco & Duncan's 2009 Power Rankings- Week 5

1. New Orleans Saints (4-0) Earned the top spot right now due to quality wins compared to the other undefeated teams, i.e- Knocking off the Jets last week. -Duncan
2. Indianapolis Colts (4-0) Peyton Manning looks like he's 25 all over again, except this time better! -Duncan
3. New York Giants (4-0) Only knock has been their schedule so far but they are 3-0 on the road this year, & finally at home this week for the 1st time in a month. -Bosco
4. Minnesota Vikings (4-0) Speaking of a QB looking 25 again, where did Favre get this energy boost from? Plus the Vikings D has been sensational when it has to be. -Bosco
5. New England Patriots (3-1) If a few calls don't go their way, they could have been 2-2, but refs are apart of the game, and once again Tom Brady is proving he just wins! -Bosco
6. Baltimore Ravens (3-1) Pairing a really good Offense with this D shows how scary this team will be for the course of the season. -Bosco
7. Denver Broncos (4-0) Mike Nolan coming to town has really turned this team around. Their D has averaged around 6pts a game so far. Elvis Dumervil is a beast! -Duncan
8. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1) With Mcnabb & Westbrook coming back this week, we will get a true showing of exactly where they stand, although they play the lowly Bucs. -Bosco
9. Chicago Bears (3-1) Jay Cutler looks to finally be maturing before our very eyes. The Bears are 3-1 and haven't even clicked on all cylinders yet. -Bosco
10. New York Jets (3-1) Sanchez looked like a rookie, but will now be throwing to a much better receiver in Braylon Edwards. Their Defense still looks top notch! -Bosco
11. San Francisco 49ers (3-1) Mike Singletary has this team drinking the Kool-Aid! And after this week's game then the bye, they only get better with Gore and Crabtree. -Duncan
12. Cincinnati Bengals (3-1) This could be the year the Hard Knocks curse comes to a crashing halt! Ocho Cinco looks to be on track and the team is on the up & up. -Bosco
13. Atlanta Falcons (2-1) This should be another tough road test for the Falcons this week at Candlestick where the stingy Niners D will be waiting. -Duncan
14. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2) Finally got the big win they needed to boost them back to .500 but almost blowing that big lead still has to have Steeler fans worried! -Bosco
15. Green Bay Packers (2-2) Monday night's game showed America where the Packers belong... middle of the Pack! (No pun intended) -Bosco
16. San Diego Chargers (2-2) They better get it going soon, because 8-8 will not win the division this year! -Duncan
17. Houston Texans (2-2) Slaton finally got it going last week. This offense will become scary if they turn up the dial and get everyone going at once! -Duncan
18. Dallas Cowboys (2-2) I call it when i see it, and right now i see Dallas no better than 8-8. Tony Romo once against showed he doesn't have a clutch skin tissue on his body. -Bosco
19. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-2) After a shaky start, the Jags look to be playing much better right now and with the Titans at 0-4, there wild card hopes have increased! -Duncan
20. Arizona Cardinals (1-2) They better start playing better soon, because the Niners are for real and they are not going to run away with the West as predicted. -Duncan
21. Miami Dolphins (1-3) Just when you thought the season was over, a blessing in disguise could have been formed because Chad Henne got his shot and won game 1! -Bosco
22. Washington Redskins (2-2) Okay, this is a hard team to review, yes they have 2 wins but they beat the Rams and Bucs at home who are our 2 lowest ranked teams! -Bosco
23. Buffalo Bills (1-3) Its hard to believe this team is going to have another less than .500 season. I think its finally time for Dick Jauron to go, & he can take T.O with him. -Bosco
24. Seattle Seahawks (1-3) Getting Matthew Hasselbeck back should help this team, but they need a lot more help than just him at this point! -Duncan
25. Detroit Lions (1-3) After looking so good against the Redskins, they looked just as bad against the Bears, and with Stafford banged up it could just get worse! -Bosco
26. Carolina Panthers (0-3) If they want to pull themselves out of the NFC basement they NEED to start this week by beating the awful Redskins.
27. Tennessee Titans (0-4) Wow! Who would have thought this team would go from #1 seed in the AFC to winless through the first quarter of the season. -Duncan
28. Oakland Raiders (1-3) After 2 abysmal showings the last 2 weeks, things don't get easier with a trip to Giants Stadium! Will they finally score a TD? -Duncan
29. Cleveland Browns (0-4) Last week, i was thinking that the team may have listened to the city and quit on Mangini but that was BEFORE they played the Bengals! -Bosco
30. Kansas City Chiefs (0-4) For anyone out there who thought Matt Cassell would step in and turn this team around... boy were you wrong! -Duncan
31. St.Louis Rams (0-4) Well atleast they can't lose this week. Most teams take advantage of their bye week, we will have to wait and see if it helps the Rams- Duncan
32. Tampa Bay Bucs (0-4) Jon Gruden doesn't look so bad now huh? This team looks like they should be playing in the UFL not the NFL! -Duncan

*Bosco (NFC East, AFC East, NFC North, AFC North)

*Duncan (NFC West, AFC West, NFC South, AFC South)

-This week's rankings are the first done by both Bosco & Duncan, and the rest of the season's rankings will be done by the two of us together as well!
