That said, there’s money to be made for the former Falcon once he gets out of prison. Someone, somewhere is going to make a movie. The Longest Yard 2, the Michael Vick Story.

10 (10) New England Patriots (6-4-0): Power 10 Points: 100

Matt Cassel is officially big time. He’s gone from a guy everyone in New England assumed wasn’t going to make it past the final cut this preseason, to a guy who’s agent is floating number like “6 years, $65 million”.

What a difference a couple of months, a few come from behind victories, and having the greatest game of your life on national TV makes…

 

Dropped Out:

None. First time ever. So instead of doing Dropped Out, we’ll do…

 

Barely Missed:

11 (-) Green Bay Packers (5-5-0): Power 10 Points: 98

I have to say, I was pretty surprised by how well the Packers played last weekend. It’s not that I thought they couldn’t win, but the way they won was unexpectedly impressive.

12 (-) Philadelphia Eagles (5-4-1): Power 10 Points: 96

A tie? Seriously? Are you kidding me?

13 (-) Miami Dolphins (6-4-0): Power 10 Points: 91

The computers don’t like the Dolphins. But a win over the Patriots will go a long way towards convincing everyone that the computers are wrong.

 

Bottom Four:

29 (29) St. Louis Rams (2-8-0): Power 10 Points: -54

We expanded the Bottom Three to the Bottom Four because we thought the Rams deserved recognition. Congratulations guys!

30 (30) Kansas City Chiefs (1-9-0): Power 10 Points: -61

It’s only a matter of time before the Rams pass over the slightly-less-hapless Chiefs.

31 (31) Cincinnati Bengals (1-9-1): Power 10 Points: -76

When you’re 1-9, you’re probably relatively happy with a tie. Just like if you haven’t dated anyone in years, you’re probably relatively happy with kissing your sister.

Maybe that analogy didn’t work so well…

32 (32) Detroit Lions (0-10-0): Power 10 Points: -90

I just figured out, after 10 weeks, the worst possible score you could have considering the Power 10 formula is -96. The Lions are -90. That says just about everything you need to know about the Detroit Lions.
