Bosco & Duncan's 2009 Power Rankings- Week 8

1. New Orleans Saints (6-0) (Last Week's Ranking-1) After another big win this week, this one a comeback from 21 down, they seem to be learning how to win every way possible.
2. Indianapolis Colts (6-0) (LW-2) Destroying the Rams isn't a surprise at any level, but continuing the undefeated run is still impressive.
3. Denver Broncos (6-0) (LW-3) Coming off their bye week they will look to stay undefeated in Baltimore who is also coming off their bye.
4. New England Patriots (5-2) (LW-7) The Pats beat up the Bucs for their 2nd straight big win to move up our rankings, this week they have a bye, but only reason its actually needed is because they just played overseas in London.
5. Pittsburgh Steelers (5-2) (LW-8) A big win over undefeated Minnesota last week, now they get to rest up on their bye week.
6. Minnesota Vikings (6-1) (LW-4) It's about time karma has caught up to the Vikings, after a few last second victories they finally lose a late close game. Now Favre back to Green Bay for the 1st time not in a Packer uniform, should be fun to watch!
7. Cincinnati Bengals (5-2) (LW-11) Beating up the Bears like they did this past week, really proves once and for all that the Bengals are just not going away this year.
8. Green Bay Packers (4-2) (LW-13) Another easy win for the Pack, lets see how they are this week in their much anticipated rematch with Favre and the Vikings.
9. New York Giants (5-2) (LW-5) The Giants are proving that their 5-0 record was a product of their easy schedule with two losses against quality teams in a row. Big game in Philly.
10. Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) (LW-10) A solid division road win against the hapless Skins this week, now a big battle at home against the G-Men.
11. Dallas Cowboys (4-2) (LW-14) One of the biggest statement wins the Cowboys have had in recent past, proving that they are in the playoff race after all.
12. Atlanta Falcons (4-2) (LW-6) Probably not a loss that's worth dropping 6 spots on the power poll but not getting that win does show they are not an "elite" team yet.
13. Arizona Cardinals (4-2) (LW-15) A huge road win in Giants stadium to lift them ahead of the Niners in the NFC West. Let's see if they can hold onto it.
14. Baltimore Ravens (3-3) (LW-16) A bye week gave us reason to reflect on how easily this team could be 6-0 and a big win over the Broncos this week could put them on a fast track back into our top 10.
15. Houston Texans (4-3) (LW-17) Nice win at home against the 49ers but something tells me if Alex Smith started that game, the Texans are 3-4 and not sitting at #14.
16. New York Jets (4-3) (LW-19) Blowing out the Raiders in Oakland, was a MUST for the Jets, and they got it done. Now a big rivalry game at home vs Miami.
17. San Diego Chargers (4-3) (LW-20) The Chargers have not looked like the team people expected before the season started until the past week at the Chiefs, now they get the Raiders at home to look that good again!
18. Chicago Bears (3-3) (LW-9) Dropping so many spots in the rankings is deserved based upon the last two weeks, Cutler has not looked good and they are now .500.
19. San Francisco 49ers (3-3) (LW-12) After another loss to put the Niners back at .500 and move them to 2nd place in the division for the first time, atleast Alex Smith stepping into the helm gives the fans a hope.
20. Buffalo Bills (3-4) (LW-23) Two straight wins for the Bills who looked like at one point they were headed to another horrific season, but now they have a shot, but a huge game this week when they host the Texans.
21. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-3) (LW-21) Coming off their bye week, they will look to get over the .500 hump in their second meeting with the Titans.
22. Miami Dolphins (2-4) (LW-18) A heartbreaking loss to the Saints this week, because a win would have put them back in the AFC East contention, rather than bumping them 2 games below .500.
23. Carolina Panthers (2-4) (LW-22) If they really wanted to fight for a wildcard, then they probably shouldn't have lost at home to the Buffalo Bills.
24. Seattle Seahawks (2-4) (LW-24) They remain in spot #24 soley on the fact they were on a bye last week, and they probably wish they could stay on that bye rather than going to Big D to play the Cowboys.
25. Oakland Raiders (2-5) (LW-25) How could you get blown to pieces for the 2nd time this year against at NY team and remain in the same spot? Well shows you how horrible the bottom 10 of the NFL is this year.
26. Washington Redskins (2-5) (LW-27) The Redskins have moved up our charts, and the only good thing to happen to them was they finally scored 17 points.
27. Kansas City Chiefs (1-6) (LW-26) Not much to say here, they were playing well until Philip Rivers came to town and he and Vincent Jackson had themselves a day.
28. Detroit Lions (1-5) (LW-29) Another team that moves up the charts because of a bye week and only the bye week. Can you imagine even trying to watch Rams at Lions this week?
29. Cleveland Browns (1-6) (LW-29) Browns get obliterated by Packers and remain at their ranking, but that just again shows you how bad the bottom 10 are.
30. Tennessee Titans (0-6) (LW-31) Another team to move up because of a bye week, now Vince Young gets a chance to show what he has this week against the Jags.
31. St.Louis Rams (0-7) (LW-30) After one week of climbing out of the 31 hole, the Rams are right back in that spot again after being spanked by the Colts. They will try for win #1 this week at the Rams.
32. Tampa Bay Bucs (0-7) (LW-32) The Bucs continue to bring up the rear for us two Americans, and after last week's performance in London, I'm sure they bring up the rear for all of Europe too.
