NFL Power Rankings: Teams That Will Continue to Freefall

Tim KeeneyNov 9, 2011

Here's a look at three highly ranked NFL teams that look like they might struggle in Week 10 and possibly beyond. 

Buffalo Bills (No. 14)

The Bills had a nice start to the season, but they have lost two of their last three and are now in a three-way tie atop the AFC East.

They are certainly still in the playoff race, but the Bills have failed to win a big road game and have three road games coming up. 

The Bills have to travel to Dallas, Miami and New York to face the Jets in the next three weeks, and it's likely they'll have trouble with at least two of those games (guess which two). 

That's going to drop Buffalo to 6-6 and make a playoff run extremely difficult. The Bills have certainly proved us wrong in the past, however. 

Cincinnati Bengals (No. 9)

The Bengals have been mighty impressive, especially for a team that is running a rookie out at quarterback and WR No. 1 every Sunday.

Still, that defense has been very good and has gotten them to 6-2, but are they really that good? 

Wins against Cleveland, Jacksonville, Indianapolis, Seattle and Tennessee are making their record look a little better than it probably should.

That should even out, however, as four of Cincy's eight remaining games are against Pittsburgh and Baltimore. 

We'll soon see if the Bengals are for real. My guess is they aren't. 

New York Giants (No. 4)

Yes, the Giants just knocked off the mighty Tom Brady and the Patriots, but I just don't feel right about the 6-2 Giants.

Maybe it's the home loss against the Seahawks. Maybe it's the fact they barely beat Arizona and Miami. Maybe I think Eli Manning will come back down to earth.

I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think the Giants stay in the top five for very long.

A trip to San Francisco next week could be trouble for NYG, as could contests against the Eagles, Saints and Packers right after that.
