NFL Power Rankings (Week 10)

1. Green Bay Packers (9-0) LW 1
It wasn't a matter of if the Packers were going to win against Minnesota, but by how much. Green Bay continues to play well and their match up against Detroit on Thanksgiving should be one heck of a game.

2. San Francisco 49ers (8-1) LW 3
The 49ers continue to roll on and knocked off a Giants team that had a ton of momentum heading into this game. But San Fran has to hope that Frank Gore's injury isn't too serious.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-3) LW 2
Beating the Bengals on the road was a huge win for the Steelers. Man, you don't get to say that too often.

4. New Orleans Saints (7-3) LW 9
It took overtime, but the Saints were able to beat the Falcons on the road and get some room in the standings. New Orleans seems to be getting much better as the season goes forward.

5. New England Patriots (6-3) LW 5
Go figure, when you get a good pass rush it hides a lot of weaknesses you have in the secondary. Andre Carter came out of nowhere to terrorize Mark Sanchez. Now if they can keep that up they could do some damage.

6. Chicago Bears (6-3) LW 14
I still don't know why punters keep kicking the ball to Devin Hester? Why? Kicking it out of bounds is easy, you would think.

7. Baltimore Ravens (6-3) LW 7
How can you go from sweeping the Steelers, to losing to the Cardinals? Somethings just don't make sense.

8. Detroit Lions (6-3) LW 4
Not having a running game has really hurt the Lions. Matt Stafford cannot throw the ball 63 times and expect to win. Especially with a broken finger.

9. Houston Texans (7-3) LW 13
Houston looks like one of the best teams in the AFC right now, but losing QB Matt Schaub to the season could doom the Texans. Their only hope is that their strong running game can carry them.

10. Cincinnati Bengals (6-3) LW 8
It's hard to beat Pittsburgh anyways, but doing so with a rookie QB and a rookie #1 WR doesn't make it easier. But the Bengals have a bright future ahead of them.

11. New York Giants (6-3) LW 10
New York had a chance to take a big lead in the division, but dropping a game to Seattle is inexcusable. Luckily Philly still lost.

12. Dallas Cowboys (5-4) LW 23
The emergence of DeMarco Murray has really breathed some life into this offense and it has really helped take some pressure off of Tony Romo, which is always a good thing.

13. New York Jets (5-4) LW 12
Mark Sanchez is going to have nightmares of Andre Carter in his dreams tonight. Completely falling apart in the 2nd half doesn't help either.

14. Tennessee Titans (5-4) LW 19
There was a Chris Johnson sighting in Charlotte today. Johnson rushing for 130 yards and a TD has to be a great sight for Titans fans.

15. Buffalo Bills (5-4) LW 12
Buffalo had a great run, but it looks like they are showing their true colors. The defense is still not good when they don't get turnovers and the offensive line isn't good.

16. Oakland Raiders (5-4) LW 16
Their big win over San Diego on Thursday night was huge for the Raiders in their effort to win the division. Add in that Carson Palmer is starting to get his groove back and they could be playoff bound.

17. Atlanta Falcons (5-4) LW 15
Last year Atlanta had the best record in the NFL and were looking to be Super Bowl bound. Now with their loss to New Orleans they have 4 losses and probably won't make the playoffs.

18. Denver Broncos (4-5) LW 27
Tim Tebow only threw 8 passes (completed only 2) and they still won. How does this happen? Oh wait, they played the Chiefs.

19. San Diego Chargers (4-5) LW 11
San Diego is a mess. They are falling apart and this could cause some major shake ups to the coaching staff and roster.

20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) LW 17
The Bucs looked like a young team on the rise, but they have been blown out several times this year. But it's a young team, so that can't be a huge surprise.

21. Arizona Cardinals (3-6) LW 29
Could the Cardinals actually look better with John Skelton running the show instead of Kevin Kolb?

22. Philadelphia Eagles (3-6) LW 18
You can't be surprised with all the trouble the Eagles are having. They threw a bunch of players together and even made their offensive line coach their D Coordinator. This team more than anything really could have used OTA's and a full off-season.

23. Jacksonville Jaguars (3-6) LW 26
The Jags got a big win (for them) in a win over Indy and could make it two in a row with Cleveland next on the schedule. If they could just get a good WR their offense could be a lot better.

24. Kansas City Chiefs (4-5) LW 20
Well after a 4 game winning streak, Kansas City is finally back to earth. What makes matters worse is that QB Matt Cassell is hurt. But the way he was playing it might not make a difference.

25. Seattle Seahawks (3-6) LW 28
Not too many people gave the Seahawks much of a chance with Baltimore coming to town. But in this crazy NFL season, you can't be surprised that they won.

26. Cleveland Browns (3-6) LW 21
You know its bad when your kicker who has been your best offensive player misses a chip shot FG that would have won the game. They had so much hope going in to this season.

27. Washington Redskins (3-6) LW 22
Here is another team that is finally playing to their talent. Their QB situation is horrible and it is finally showing.

28. Miami Dolphins (2-7) LW 32
Somebody tell the Dolphins that they aren't suppose to be winning if they want Andrew Luck. But the Dolphins seem like a different team and Reggie Bush is resurrecting his career. Get them a QB and they could be a solid team.

29. Minnesota Vikings (2-7) LW 24
Despite not winning games, the Vikings aren't playing too bad and Christian Ponder is showing doubters that he does have what it takes to be an NFL QB. Luckily since their record won't be the greatest, he'll get some quality help come draft time.

30. St. Louis Rams (2-7) LW 30
The Rams are probably the only team that doesn't want to win the Andrew Luck sweepstakes and they are doing their best to get out of that situation. But St. Louis is getting healthy and we are seeing some of what they showed last year.

31. Carolina Panthers (2-7) LW 25
After their start to the season I thought that Panther could rattle off 5 to 6 wins, but they haven't been able to do so. But on the bright side we might see Cam Newton throwing to Justin Blackmon next year.

32. Indianapolis Colts (0-10) LW 31
It's all but offical, the Colts will have the #1 pick and the first crack at Andrew Luck. The real question is whether they take him, trade Manning, or trade the pick.
