Bosco & Duncan's 2009 Power Rankings- Week 6

  1. New Orleans Saints (4-0) (Last Week's Ranking-1) Let's see if this past week's bye can help the offense look like they did the first 2 weeks. Tough task against the Giants D though.
  2. Indianapolis Colts (5-0) (LW-2) Whooped up on the division rival Titans on SNF. Peyton looks like the early season MVP going into their bye week.
  3. New York Giants (5-0) (LW-3) Made yet another team look like they belong on a high school field. Huge test this week at New Orleans. A win might put them at #1.
  4. Minnesota Vikings (5-0) (LW-4) Made quick work of the Rams- Wow! Do the really good teams in the NFL make the bad teams look Horrible or what?
  5. Denver Broncos (5-0) (LW-7) Ok so if there were any doubters left, they flew out the window after last week's win over New England, now lets see if they can take a commanding division lead over the well rested Chargers this week.
  6. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1) (LW-8) After punishing the Bucs last week, the Eagles look like they are back on track. Bucs secondary = perfect dose of medicine for McNabb!
  7. Cincinnati Bengals (4-1) (LW-12) Another BIG win & now 1st place in the AFC North <-- Who would have thunk it?
  8. Chicago Bears (3-1) (LW-9) After a little R&R on their bye week, the Bears go down south to Atlanta on SNF for a possible long shot Super Bowl preview?
  9. Atlanta Falcons (3-1) (LW-13) After really coming off their bye week as strong as possible in San Fran. The Dirty Birds will be looking for two in a row against the Bears on SNF!
  10. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2) (LW-14) Hoping a game against the Lions put them on the right track, but if it did not then I'm sure the game vs the Browns this week will!
  11. New England Patriots (3-2) (LW-5) Bill Belichek is probably not in a good mood to say the least after losing to his pupil Josh McDaniels, so he might just have to take out his frustrations on the winless Titans in Foxboro.
  12. Baltimore Ravens (3-2) (LW-6) Two heartbreaking losses in a row, now a game in the MetroDome to play Favre who looks younger each week? Ouch!
  13. New York Jets (3-2) (LW-10) After a tough loss in a rivalry game where the D didn't look so hot, help is on the way when Buffalo comes to town. Rex should have the D amped up and ready to go this week.
  14. San Francisco 49ers (3-2) (LW-11) The bye week couldn't come at a better time after last week's dud against the Falcons. On the plus side, after the bye they get Gore back and Crabtree will make his debut.
  15. Green Bay Packers (3-2) (LW-15) No movement after last week's bye. They will try to right the ship this week when hosting the Lions, this one could get ugly, fast.
  16. San Diego Chargers (3-2) (LW-16) Again, no movement after last week's bye. This week they get to host the undefeated and division leading Broncos, let's see if Norv has them prepared.
  17. Dallas Cowboys (3-2) (LW-18) They won, but needed O.T and a record setting performance by Miles Austin to survive against the Chiefs. Lets hope they use this bye week well and not to go on vacation to someplace like hmmm Cabo?
  18. Arizona Cardinals (2-2) (LW-20) A much needed victory over the Texans last week, now lets see if they take advantage and ride "Ole Mo" (Momentum)
  19. Miami Dolphins (2-3) (LW-21) A huge win to pull to within 1 game in the division. Now a bye week to see if they could make the "wildcat" even more dangerous.
  20. Houston Texans (2-3) (LW-17) Everytime you want to jump on the Texans bandwagon, they just shoot you right back to reality. 8-8 here you come... AGAIN!
  21. Seattle Seahawks (2-3) (LW-24) I don't know what to think about this team, i still scratch my head with them, but with Hasselbeck back it seemed that the whole team returned too.
  22. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3) (LW-19) What was that Jax? Seriously! After that performance and Jones-Drew fighting with the coaching staff this team could be heading in a downward spiral and fast.
  23. Carolina Panthers (1-3) (LW-26) Finally Carolina gets in the win column. Now let's see if they can make it two in a row against the winless Bucs.
  24. Washington Redskins (2-3) (LW-22) Skins have had one of the if not THE easiest schedule in football so far and they still have a losing record. We will see if they can get a much needed win over the fast improving Chiefs at home this week.
  25. Cleveland Browns (1-4) (LW-29) An overtime loss to a top 10 team, then win #1 up in Buffalo. Mangini is ManGENIUS again! Wait a minute? They go to Pitt this week!
  26. Detroit Lions (1-4) (LW-25) Their win against Washington is looking worse and worse each week and its also looking more and more like they are satisfied with atleast winning one this year.
  27. Kansas City Chiefs (0-5) (LW-30) They moved up 3 spots but are winless? Well look at the teams below them, they are by far playing the best out of the bottom feeders!
  28. Buffalo Bills (1-4) (LW-23) Dropping 5 spots from last week? Well losing at home to the previously winless Browns by a score of 6-3 will do that to you. Good luck going to the Meadowlands and playing a pissed off Rex Ryan/Jets Defense.
  29. Tennessee Titans (0-5) (LW-27) The Titans really need to get in the win column, too bad they are playing the Patriots off a loss! Hosting the Bills Nov.15 can't come soon enough!
  30. Oakland Raiders (1-4) (LW-28) Antonio Pierce of the Giants said something to the affect of the Raiders playing like it was a training camp scrimmage and how he feels bad for the Raider fans, i second that.
  31. St. Louis Rams (0-5) (LW-31) Same spot as last week, another loss, didn't look good again and until they get a win, it looks like that 31 or 32 position is where they will stand. Bulger is returning this week on a positive note.(Although I'm not sure that's a positive in St.Louis)
  32. Tampa Bay Bucs (0-5) (LW-32) Still our last ranked team in football. They do host the Panthers this week and a win will finally knock them off the bottom perch!

I'll start bottom up this time. The Bucs have been far more competitive than the Rams.

Knowing football, do you really think Crabtree is going to be instant impact this far into the season?

Read: Bears at 8. No matter how far a long shot, they can't play the Falcons in the Superbowl, both from NFC.

Eagles at 6? Is Notre Dame also a darkhorse BCS Championship candidate?

Other than the Eagles and Bucs, good ratings.

I'll take the Titans at 0-5 over the Browns, Skins, Lions, and Chiefs.

Good overall rankings - although Saints at 1 is tough.

Good stuff Bosco. Go Yankees.

Whit - Notre Dame is still not a top tier football team let alone National Title contender. They'd get beasted on by the top half of the SEC and Big 12. And Jimmy Clausen can't read good.
