Dave B\u2019s NFL Power Rankings – Week 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow, what a Week 6 it was! Upsets, last minute wins and some spectacular performances highlighted another typically topsy-turvy week. There is some significant movement at the top of the Rankings this week and some bottom feeders that look to be creeping their way into the top 15. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Enough talk \u2013 let\u2019s get on with Dave B\u2019s Week 6 edition of the Rankings!<\/p>\n

1. FALCONS<\/strong> (2) \u2013 the only undefeated team left but just barely. This team is simply finding a way to get it done every week \u2013 sometimes not pretty Week 6 included. But as the only unbeaten team they absolutely have to be #1.<\/p>\n

2. TEXANS<\/strong> (1) \u2013 They certainly didn\u2019t have their best game on Sunday but maybe it was more that Green Bay had their absolutely best game this season. They host an injury ravaged Ravens next week \u2013 expect a bounce back.<\/p>\n

3. BEARS<\/strong> (4) \u2013 rise one spot despite not playing this week \u2013 a product of the top dogs losing. They have reeled off three straight wins with the defense looking completely overwhelming scoring two defensive touchdowns in two straight weeks. Chicago leads the NFC North and with the Cutler\/Marshall tandem heating up, this team could be top 5 for a while.<\/p>\n

4. GIANTS<\/strong> (8) \u2013 The G-Men had arguably the most impressive win of the year thus far completely obliterating the 49ers in San Francisco. The defense is finally catching up to the offense \u2013 scary for the rest of the league.<\/p>\n

5. 49ERS<\/strong> (3) \u2013 The Niners completely laid an egg on Sunday after outscoring their opposition 79-3 in the previous two weeks. That makes two losses this year \u2013 could the Giants have created a blue print for defeating this team? They maintain a Top 5 spot but just barely.<\/p>\n

6. RAVENS<\/strong> (5) \u2013 The Ravens may be forced to play without four of their best five defensive players in Week 7. This team is in trouble defensively and could realistically slip out of the top 10 by this time next week \u2013 good thing they have an easy schedule coming up.<\/p>\n

7. PACKERS<\/strong> (13) \u2013 They\u2019re baaack! The Packers looked like world beaters in Week 6 \u2013 absolutely blew the doors off Houston on the road. It was only a matter of time but Green Bay is finally the team we thought they would be! Games against St. Louis, Jacksonville, Arizona and Detroit the next four weeks should help in their quest to get back to elite status.<\/p>\n

8. SEAHAWKS<\/strong> (15) \u2013 We all knew about the defense but how about Russell Wilson and the offense against New England? 16-27 for 293 yards and three touchdowns? I didn\u2019t see that one coming! Moral of the story? Never, ever bet against Seattle at home.<\/p>\n

9. VIKINGS<\/strong> (7) \u2013 4-2 and coming off a loss to the amazing Robert Griffin III. They have been solid all year on both sides of the ball and deserve a top 10 spot because of their division lead.<\/p>\n

10. PATRIOTS<\/strong> (6) \u2013 The Pats gained 475 yards against the stout Seattle defense but still lost in Week 6. The Pats found out what the Cowboys and Packers already knew \u2013 Seattle is a tough place to play!<\/p>\n

11. BRONCOS<\/strong> (18) \u2013 Denver\u2019s win on Monday night serves notice that they should be a contender in the second half of the season. Peyton Manning has single-handedly raised the level of every Bronco.<\/p>\n

12. DOLPHINS<\/strong> (22) \u2013 sit a surprising 3-3 \u2013 atop the AFC East. Hard to believe. Two of their three losses have come by a field goal to boot! [soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

13. EAGLES<\/strong> (11) \u2013 way too many turnovers \u2013 the offense is giving it up too much and the defense isn\u2019t doing their jobs either.<\/p>\n

14. REDSKINS<\/strong> (19) \u2013 Robert Griffin III is incredible isn\u2019t he? Beating a very good Vikings team in Minnesota has them easily in the top half of the league\u2019s Power Rankings.<\/p>\n

15. CHARGERS<\/strong> (10) \u2013 ugly collapse on Monday night was their second loss in a row in games they could have won. At .500 this team looks eerily like the one that missed the playoffs last year doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

16. RAMS (14)<\/strong>
\n 17. BENGALS (16)<\/strong>
\n 18. STEELERS (9)<\/strong>
\n 19. BILLS (20)<\/strong>
\n 20. JETS (28)<\/strong>
\n 21. COWBOYS (17)<\/strong>
\n 22. CARDINALS (12)<\/strong>
\n 23. LIONS (30)<\/strong>
\n 24. TITANS (24)<\/strong>
\n 25. BUCCANEERS (27)<\/strong>
\n 26. SAINTS (31)<\/strong>
\n 27. COLTS (26)<\/strong>
\n 28. RAIDERS (23)<\/strong>
\n 29. PANTHERS (21)<\/strong>
\n 30. BROWNS (32)<\/strong>
\n 31. CHIEFS (29)<\/strong>
\n 32. JAGUARS (25)<\/strong><\/p>\n
