Power Rankings Week 1

32. St. Louis Rams (0-1) -3: They had a terrible showing getting shut out by an above average team. If you can't score you will not be a strong team.

31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-1) -1: The Cowboys beat them and they are still not impressive at all. This is a rebuilding year for them.

30. Cleveland Browns (0-1) -3: Either their running defense is that bad, or Adrian Peterson is just that good. Either way they didn't impress me this weekend.

29. Detroit Lions (0-1) -1: They were able to score over 20 points, which was impressive for the Detroit Lions, but its hard to win with a defense that allows over 40 points.

28. Houston Texans (0-1) -15: One of the biggest jumps in my power rankings, I'm not sure if their humiliating loss was from the Jets being that good or the Texans being that bad. We'll see this week against the Titans how good they actually are.

27. Arizona Cardinals (0-1) -10: Maybe I'm being a little harsh, but they lost to the 49ers who haven't been good for a while. With the Seahawks looking as good as they do, the Cardinals don't have as much of a chance this year.

26. Kansas City Chiefs (0-1) +5: They had a good showing against the Ravens in Baltimore, but I'm not sold yet.

25. Cincinnati Bengals (0-1) -4: Ya they lost on a last second tip drill, but they were not impressive at all.

24. Washington Redskins (0-1) -2: They lost to the Giants and played well. But the division they are in will make it hard for them to do anything this year.

23. 49ers (1-0) +3: This is the lowest person on the list with a win. Maybe I'm wrong about the 49ers but I won't be putting any money on them making the playoffs this year.

22. Raiders (0-1) +3: They almost managed an upset against the Chargers. Could this be the year their young team makes an impact.

21. Denver Broncos (1-0) +5: The Broncos pulled a lucky one. Can they do it again next week?

20. Jacksonville Jaguar (0-1) +4: They showed up against the Colts in Indianapolis. Could the Jaguars finally be back to the "trendy superbowl pick"?

19. Miami Dolphins (0-1) -4: They lost to a very good team in the Atlanta Falcons, and their Wildcat offense continues to work.

18. Carolina Panthers (0-1) -13: They were humiliated by the Eagles. The Eagles aren't a bad team, but they got beaten bad.

17. Buffalo Bills (0-1) +1: Some argue that they should have won the game against the Patriots if it wasn't for one unlucky fumble. However thats part of the game and they can't climb too much without winning.

16. Chicago Bears (0-1) -6: They lost to a division Rival. Jay Cutler was very shaky in the first half, but started to turn it around in the second. Hopefully he can carry that momentum into the second week.

15. New Orleans Saints (1-0) +5: Yes, they won this weekend, but it was against the Detroit Lions. Thats not very impressive.

14. Dallas Cowboys (1-0) +5: They, too, won, but it was against the team I had ranked last in the NFL last week.

13. New York Jets (1-0) +10:

12. Minnesota Vikings (1-0) +4:

11. Green Bay Packers (1-0) +3:

10. Seattle Seahawks (1-0) +2: They break the top 10 thanks to their shutout of the Rams. No the Rams are not an amazing team, but its definitely a step up from last year.

9. San Diego Chargers (1-0) -1: The Chargers almost slipped and let the Raiders steal a win from them. That isn't going to work against tougher opponents.

8. Tennessee Titans (0-1) -4: They lost to the number one team by three points in overtime. Though that is very good, they had to drop thanks to other teams playing just as well.

7. Baltimore Ravens (1-0) +0: Their defense doesn't look as stout as last year, but their offense looks better.

6. Indianapolis Colts (1-0) +0: Their team doesn't look like the same with all three coaches leaving.

They got lucky with a fumble recovery on a kickoff. They almost lost to the average Buffalo Bills, a team they used to dominate.

I'm very impressed with the way the Eagles defense played without Brian Dawkins. I didn't think it was possible.

The Falcons showed they are a dominant team once again. Matt Ryan still looks good and they look like a top tier team.

The Giants answered the question about their receivers. They still are able to make stuff happen. This is a very good sign.

They picked up where they left off beating a top tier team the first week. Sure it was a close one in overtime, but they showed they can close out games. Could they repeat?
