Power Rankings Through Week 10

THE SUPER BOWL CONTENDERS

(1.) Atlanta Falcons: (8-0) Only reason they are number one is because they are undefeated, have yet to capture that marquee win.

(2.) Houston Texans: (7-1) Best record in the AFC, need a strong showing at Soldier Field to control the number 2 spot.  

(3.) Chicago Bears: (7-1) Simply opportunistic on defense, Peanut Tillman is playing out of his mind at this point, great matchup this week against the Texans. 

(4.) San Francisco 49ers: (6-2) If it were not for questionable quarterback play from the limp noodle that is Alex Smith, the niners would be the best team in the league. 

(5.) Green Bay Packers: (6-3) Bye week this week and unless the Steelers or Giants throttle their opponents, the Pack should remain stationary. 

(6.) Pittsburgh Steelers: (5-3) After a solid win against the reigning Super Bowl champs last week, the Steelers must continue their success and demolish the Kansas City Chiefs, current chumpions of the CFL

(7.) New York Giants: (6-3) Eli is always going to be the third best Manning, behind his older brother Peyton, and Texans safety Danieal Manning (only joking). 

(8.) New England Patriots: (5-3) Tom Brady and this Patriot team is poised to make a run in the slightly weaker AFC.

THE PLAYOFF BOUND BUSTS

(9.) Denver Broncos: (5- 3) What happened to Tebow Time at Mile High? Peyton Manning happened. 

(10.) Baltimore Ravens: (6-2) Average play from the self proclaimed best quarterback to walk this planet, and Ray "I have eaten burritos bigger than you" Rice, has lead to an average ranking for this under performing team. 

(11.) Seattle Seahawks: (5-4) Hey you, guy who says you predicted that Russell Wilson would lead the Seahawks to a 5-4 record. Yea you: shut up. 

(12.) Minnesota Vikings: (5-4) Adrian Peterson is the best RB in the league, must play like it against the Lions this week. 

(13.) Indianapolis Colts: (5-4) Andrew Luck deservedly playing himself into the MVP race. This team could shock some people. 

(14.) Detroit Lions: (4-4) Megatron has 1 touchdown catch, anyone who told you they predicted that would happen is lying, FEAR THE MADDEN CURSE.

WE ARE AVERAGE TEAMS, HOP OFF

(15.) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: (4-4) Doug Martin had an incredible game last week, honestly do not expect him to continue to produce as consistently. 

(16.) Miami Dolphins: (4-4) Excellent quarterback play by the Aggie has really made these Dolphins a legitimate team once again. 

(17.) San Diego Chargers: (4-4) Phillip Rivers is an average NFL quarterback, plain and simple. 

(18.) Arizona Cardinals: (4-5) Will the return of Kevin Kolb equate to wins? Only time will tell.

THE, WAIT, CAN WE START THE SEASON OVER, WE SWEAR WE ARE GOOD

(19.) New Orleans Saints: (3-5) Drew Brees is still Drew Brees, but these Saints are not serious contenders. 

(20.) Dallas Cowboys: (3-5) Tony Romo makes stupid decision after stupid decisions, which will cost this talented team a playoff berth. 

(21.) Cincinnati Bengals: (3-5) What happened to the Andy Dalton and Bengal defense of last year? 

(22.) Washington Redskins: (3-6) RGIII has been incredible and in a few years, will be a legitimate contender under Kyle Shanahan. 

(23.) New York Jets: (3-5) The Sanchize is not a franchise QB, plain and simple, Tebow Time?

(24.) Philadelphia Eagles: (3-5) Disaster of a season for Vick and Shady McCoy, and Andy Reid is well.... Andy Reid 

(25.) Buffalo Bills: (3-5) Injuries to dynamic backs Spiller and Jackson and poor play by Fitzpatrick has limited this teams success. 

(26.) Tennessee Titans: (3-6) Extremely forgettable year for CJ2K and co. 

(27.) St. Louis Rams: (3-5) The record doesn't necessarily reflect it, but this team has made progress under new coach Jeff Fisher.

YEAAA, WHEN DOES THE SEASON END? GOLFING WEATHER GETS REALLY GOOD IN JANUARY...

(28.) Oakland Raiders: (3-5) While Palmer is playing well, it is not enough to overcome poor play from teammates and numerous injuries. 

(29.) Carolina Panthers: (2-6) Sophomore slump anybody? Cam and his teammates are having a year to forget.

(30.) Cleveland Browns: (2-7) Taking a 28 year old quarterback in the first round of the draft was a questionable decision, especially when they drafted Colt McCoy a few seasons ago, simply not paying dividends. 

(31.) Jacksonville Jaguars: (1-7) Blaine Gabbert has made semi strides this season, however not enough to pull his team out of the cellar of the AFC; going 1-7 with MJD is impressive. 

(32.) Kansas City Chiefs: (1-7) Preparation for the draft started way early for the Chiefs this year, in desperate need of a QB.
