Like every week of the 2008 NFL season, Week 10 provided fans and critics alike with another unpredictable week of games. Many of you saw the Cardinals hold the 49ers at the one-yard line and seal a hard earned win. 

Also in Week 10 the Titans once again proved themselves and stay undefeated on the year.  Moving on, Week 11 contains many exciting and must win games for many ball clubs.

One of the most talked about games is Thursday’s showdown pinning the Patriots and the Jets for the top seed in the AFC East. Also in Week 11, the Cowboys look for revenge against their rival Redskins who beat them in Week Four, 26-24. 

Without further ado, I present you with Week 11 Power Rankings.

 

32.  Lions  0-9

I am sorry Lions fans but is there any hope for a single Lions win in 2008? The next five weeks for the Lions are only going to get more hellish for this bleak team.  Those next five match-ups are against all teams above the .500 mark.  Lions fans everywhere, pray long and hard because your team has the distinct possibility of going 0-16.

 

31.  Bengals  1-8

The Bengals were able to head into their bye week in Week 10 on a high note for the first time in 2008. The Bengals officially won a game this season but will they risk bringing back a fragile Carson Palmer this season?

30.  Chiefs  1-8

Where did Tyler Thigpen come from?  Thigpen has helped turn around a struggling Chiefs offense as of late even though they did come up short against a nicked up Chargers team in Week 10. Whoever this new Tyler Thigpen is, he will have his chance to continue his mistake free play against a struggling Saints team in Week 11.

 

29.  Raiders  2-7

Week 10 was just another week to forget for Raiders fans everywhere. With millions of dollars invested in to recent year’s draft picks JaMarcus Russell and Darren McFadden, both did not hit the field in Week 10. With one of the worst offenses in the league, what are the odds that Tom Cable will be part of the Raiders plans for the future after this season ends?

 

28.  49ers  2-7

Another week, another loss for Mike Singletary’s 49ers.  The 49ers actually scored more than twenty four points for only the fourth time this season in Monday’s loss to the Cardinals.  Taking on the 2-7 Rams in Week 11, can the 49ers earn their third win of the season?

 

27.  Seahawks  2-7

Sure they are 2-7 going into Week 11 but there is hope out there for Seahawks fans.  There is a good chance that Matt Hasselbeck and Deion Branch may be back on the field for Week 11’s match-up against their divisional rival Cardinals.

 

26.  Rams  2-7

3-47… There is not much to explain about Sunday’s 44-point loss to the Jets. The Rams were outplayed in every aspect of the game on Sunday. With Steven Jackson still out, their offense continues to lack a well needed spark. Facing another 2-7 team in Week 11, can the Rams right a wrong by beating the 49ers on route to winning their third game?

 

25.  Texans  3-6

Just when things were going uphill for the Texans, Matt Schaub is now sidelined for the next three to four weeks, and then backup quarterback, Sage Rosenfels threw for four interceptions in the Texans 13-41 loss to the Ravens. Can Rosenfels prevent turnovers of his own and get the Texans back on track in Week 11 against the up and coming Colts?

 

24.  Browns  3-6

After blowing their 20-10 halftime lead and spoiling Brady Quinn’s debut, the Browns have slipped to 3-6. Brady Quinn played efficiently in his starting debut but unfortunately it was not enough.  The Browns are now losers of two in a row heading into this week’s showdown with the floundering 5-4 Bills.

 

23.  Jaguars
