And really, the Giants at #5? They lost to the Cowboys and Eagles. Sorry for not believing in them because they barley beat Tampa and then dominated two mediocre teams (Carolina/Browns). If they beat San Fran this week I'll actually believe in them.

Power Rankings:

1. Texans
2. Bears
3. 49ers
4. Falcons
5. Ravens
6. Patriots

Rest aren't worth ranking.

yeah, Vikings #7. Cardinals I guess #8 because a team with 4 wins should be ranked.

Also, the Giants looked a lot better in 2008.

Pittsburgh

They got handled against the Broncos, beat a very mediocre Jets team, lose against the Raiders (who got destroyed by the Broncos, who in turn got destroyed by the Patriots until the Patriots offense went safe), and barely beat an Eagles team who is in a division where in your words, "is a mess" and "No team is good."

They'll have a decent W-L (11-5 or 12-4) total because like most of the good AFC teams, their schedule is absolute shit , but they'll lose in the Divisional round.

As for the Pats, I'd actually kind of agree with you based on the way they finished out the game yesterday, but if the Pats are overrated then you have to throw Baltimore in there is well. If the Chiefs were in any way shape or form a competent team they would've put up three touchdowns on the Ravens defense yesterday. Baltimore's defense is a shell of it's former self.

And on offense they really need to go against a mediocre defense to be able to do anything. How is it acceptable to only score nine points against the Chiefs defense?

I think the breakdown looks something like this.

1. Texans
2. Bears
3. Falcons
4. 49ers
5. Giants
6. Patriots/Ravens (they're pretty much even)
7. Vikings
8. Cardinals

All other teams aren't going anywhere.

Lets wait till after mid season to rank teams.
The only thing we know for sure is that Cleveland sucks.

Eli Manning and (surprisingly) Michael Vick are on pace to beat Bree's single season passing record of 5,476 yards.

Eli's monster game against Tampa Bay where he gained 510 yards through the air shows that in any given game he can explode for some huge numbers. I think he'll break the record barring any major shake ups to the O-Line or his receivers or himself obviously.

Vick is such a wild card. As an Eagles fan I've watched both games and can't believe Vick has 688 passing yards in two games. I think I was blinded by all the terrible interceptions he has thrown this year. That being said, if he can cut down on the turn overs and magically stay healthy for the whole season I think he can surpass Bree's mark as well but will probably fall just short of Manning. Realistically though Vick won't be on the field for all 16 games and if that's the case he has no shot.

What do you guys think?

Um...they are on a win streak now.

The Chiefs actually have a good offense... Up until they have to score.

The Chiefs have a great RB and a very good OL. But they have an awful QB. He has thrown more INTS than Tds this year. He is just a bad QB. They need a QB badly.
