NFL Power Rankings: 3 Teams That Will Jump in Week 5

The NFL has been full of surprises already in 2011.

Peyton Manning's injury ended the Indianapolis Colts' playoff hopes, the Philadelphia Eagles have started 1-3 and the Detroit Lions are 4-0.

This has led to a serious upheaval in the traditional order of the power rankings.

Week 5 provides another chance for a few teams to change their positions in the rankings.

Let's take a look at three teams that will rise in the rankings this weekend.

Tennessee Titans (3-1)

The Titans will make the jump to legitimate playoff contender this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Steelers offense is reeling and can't seem to get things together. They are simply making too many mistakes and turning the ball over too often.

Look for the Titans defense to continue to get pressure on Ben Roethlisberger and force a couple more turnovers.

Meanwhile, the Steelers defense hasn't been creating very many turnovers; they look to be getting too old to be elite for much longer.

Tennessee will pull off this upset and jump into the top seven of most power rankings.

Philadelphia Eagles (1-3)

The Eagles need to get back on track after a tough loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4.

They'll get that chance this weekend when they travel to Buffalo to take on the 3-1 Bills.

The Bills have been the darlings of the AFC this season, but suffered a tough and ugly loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

I know they beat the Patriots a couple weeks ago, but they needed four interceptions to accomplish that.

They won't get that many turnovers against the Eagles and the so-called "Dream Team" will get back on track and into the playoff hunt.

Oakland Raiders (2-2)

The Raiders travel to Houston to take on the 3-1 Texans this weekend.

The Texans have been a good team so far this year, but will most likely be without Andre Johnson this weekend.

That will allow the Raiders defense to focus more on Arian Foster without worrying about Johnson beating them deep.

On offense, Darren McFadden has been having a great season. He should be able to match Foster's yardage in this game, allowing the Raiders to pick up the win and jump into the top 10 in the power rankings.
