2009 NFL Football Power Ratings<\/h2>\n

Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings<\/strong><\/a>. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team. We encourage you to come back each week and see how the NFL Power Rankings have changed.<\/p>\n

NFL Power Rankings will be updated by Friday every week. Be sure to visit our home page for more articles and NFL analysis.<\/p>\n

Its with this knowledge that we can then deliver to you The NFL Power Rankings!<\/p>\n
