NFL Power Rankings and Week 5 Picks


I know, I'm a terrible blogger and forgot to put up week 4 picks. Sorry to all of those who lost money last weekend because they couldn't use my picks. To make up for it, this will be an extra long awesome blog. First, here are my power rankings after week 4.

32. St. Louis Rams (0-4)
They just have nothing to be positive about right now. Kyle Boller is their starting QB right now, they have no good receivers, and the defense is just terrible. Steven Jackson is on pace to rush for over 1,400 yards, but he is also on pace to run for 0 TDs. With the first pick of the 2010 NFL Draft, the St. Louis Rams select...

31. Kansas City Chiefs (0-4)
Boy, Matt Cassel sure has been a lot better this year than Tyler Thigpen was last year. Good thing they gave him $209304 million or whatever it was.

30. Cleveland Browns (0-4)
All Notre Dame bias aside, Brady Quinn had about zero chance to be a successful QB on this team. No running game, no receivers (Braylon Edwards doesn't count because he stopped trying about 2 years ago) and terrible coaching. I hope he gets out of Cleveland and proves he can be an NFL QB somewhere else.

29. Tampa Bay Bucs (0-4)
Why aren't they starting Josh Freeman? I guess they feel more comfortable with "veteran" Josh Johnson. Whatever, they stink.

28. Oakland Raiders (1-3)
Remember how I said they looked like they might be ok after week 1? Whoops.

27. Detroit Lions (1-3)
Looks like they're going in the right direction. Of course, we've said that before. They really need to start drafting some defense.

26. Washington Redskins (2-2)
Has there ever been a worse 2-2 team in history? And they just keep playing bad team after bad team. They're going to get destroyed by the NFC East, and I can't wait.

25. Carolina Panthers (0-3)
It's strange, I feel like they have the talent to be a good team. Oh wait, they have the human INT machine at QB. Seriously, time to pull the plug on Jake.

24. Tennessee Titans (0-4)
Finally I was right about the Titans being bad. They might as well throw Vince Young back in there to see if they can salvage his career.

23. Miami Dolphins (1-3)
Well at least they now have the best QB ever from Coastal Carolina, Tyler Thigpen. START HIM.

22. Buffalo Bills (1-3)
Remember when I said TO would have one good season in Buffalo? This is why I don't do this professionally.

21. Jacksoville Jaguars (2-2)
Still the most boring team in the NFL, perhaps professional sports. I've never seen so many empty seats in an NFL stadium, except for when Temple plays at the Linc.

20. Seattle Seahawks (1-3)
Don't the Seahawks realize Seneca Wallace is not good by now? They always throw him in every time Hasselbeck gets hurt, and he stinks. Maybe I just wanna see Mike Teel start.

19. Houston Texans (2-2)
NEXT year is the year the Texans will finally break out. I'll say it every year until it happens.

18. Arizona Cardinals (1-2)
Really, are they ever gonna give Matt Leinart a chance? Assuming he's not busy getting drunk in a hottub with underage girls.

17. Dallas Cowboys (2-2)
Wade Phillips definitely won't make it to next season, and I'm starting to think Tony Romo will be searching for a new job as well.

16. San Diego Chargers (2-2)
Have the Chargers of the past few seasons been the most underachieving NFL team of all-time? They've had an incredible amount of talent for years, but haven't sniffed a Super Bowl. They'll be done soon.

15. Green Bay Packers (2-2)
They might be undefeated if they had an average offensive line. Aaron Rodgers deserves better.

14. San Francisco 49ers (3-1)
A good start, but I'm still not convinced they're for real. That's still good enough to win the NFC West though.

13. Pittsburgh Steelers (2-2)
Big Ben was a good host on RAW. He should probably focus on football now, since the Steelers are in third place. Never though I would say that.

12. Chicago Bears (3-1)
Remember how I said you shouldn't take too much stock in a team after week 1, and I proceded to say the Bears were done? Whoops.

11. Cincinatti Bengals (3-1)
Some will say they should be undefeated barring a miracle play from the Broncos. Of course, they needed overtime to beat the Browns. We'll see how good they are this week against Baltimore.

10. Atlanta Falcons (2-1)
It's pretty hard to tell how good they are right now. They had a tough game against the Patriots, and two other good, not great, performances. 49ers game this week should tell alot about both teams.

9. Denver Broncos (4-0)
Yeah yeah, maybe I'm just hoping they're not that good. Remember, they had the West lead for a while last season too. They'll slow down, starting with this week.

8. New York Jets (3-1)
The defense is legit, but Mark Sanchez will become a rookie QB, see last week. They'll hang around for a while because of the D.

7. Philadelphia Eagles (2-1)
Tampa, Oakland, Washington the next three weeks, followed by a showdown with the Giants. Donovan should be plenty warmed up for that game, which will be for first in the East.

6. Baltimore Ravens (3-1)
They're not the best team in the NFL yet, but they're real close. Steelers fans should be real worried.

5. New England Patriots (3-1)
No, Brady is not gonna throw 50 TDs. Most people forget he wasn't amazing statistically before that 50 TD season. So they're fine, they're gonna win the East, relax.

4. New Orleans Saints (4-0)
If that defense keeps playing as well as they did last week, look out, they could be the favorites in the NFC.

3. Minnesota Vikings (4-0)
Adrian Peterson is awesome. The defense is awesome. They have a QB. That's all I'm gonna say about them.

2. New York Giants (4-0)
Since I hate having them this high, I'll just say that watching Eli Manning doing that little hop after he hurt his foot was hilarious.

1. Indianapolis Colts (4-0)
Yeah Peyton is good. And he's doing it with a Frenchman at wide receiver. He deserves the MVP just for that.
