We’ve made it to November and the cream is starting to rise to the top. Here are the Week 9 power rankings. Agree/disagree? Let me know.
Top 10

1. New England Patriots – They may have just ended Minnesota’s season and staked their claim as the best team in the NFL.
2. Baltimore Ravens – Come off their bye ranked higher and have to face the Miami road warriors.
3. Pittsburgh Steelers – A loss on the road to the defending champs won’t drop them too far.
4. New York Jets – Getting shut out at home was unexpected and this team may be very Jekyll and Hyde depending on their QB.
5. Indianapolis Colts – As long as 18 is under center, it doesn’t matter who else is playing, they’re going to be really good.
6. New York Giants – Another team moving up on their bye week and ready to make a run at the NFC top seed.
7. Atlanta Falcons – One week I will figure this team out and it may start next week in a big division match up with upstart Tampa Bay.
8. Tennessee Titans – Ran into a road block on the west coast but will regroup after the bye with 4 games coming up against Houston and Indianapolis.
9. Green Bay Packers – A big road win in the Meadowlands against the Jets has put the Packers back in the conversation for the best team in the NFC.
10. New Orleans Saints – Never underestimate the heart of a champion and they showed that heart Halloween night against the Steelers.
Bottom 5
The Bills are stuck at the bottom of the pile.

1. Buffalo Bills – Two straight weeks they have lost in overtime to two good teams as they remain the only winless team in the league.
2. Carolina Panthers – I’m not sure what is going on with the Panthers but they look lost and hopeless.
3. Dallas Cowboys – From Super Bowl contenders to one of the worst in the league, it’s time to stop calling them underachievers and chokers and just admit they’re not a good team and their coach is pathetic.
4. Denver Broncos – Went all the way to London and got beat by Troy Smith and the 49ers, yep you’re in the Bottom 5 for that.
5. Cincinnati Bengals – The Ochocinco and TO experiment has worked in the individual stats department but not in the stat that matters, wins.
