There has been some movement in the Rankings since last week \u2013 some continue to plummet like the Texans and the Falcons while others continue to ascend like the Chiefs. <!--more--> <\/p>\n<p>Let`s take a look at where every teams stands in this week`s edition of Dave B`s Power Rankings<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>1. BRONCOS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 1)<\/p>\n<p>The Jags hung with the Broncos but as all good teams do, Denver pulled away and posted victory. Denver is still the class of the league and a deserving #1 on the Rankings. I, like most can\u2019t wait for next week\u2019s game at Indianapolis.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>2. CHIEFS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 3)<\/p>\n<p>Defense continues to be a key for this team. They sacked Terelle Pryor 10 times Sunday and let Jamaal Charles do the rest. A sign of a top 3 team \u2013 they can win when the QB struggles just like the Chiefs did against Oakland Sunday. They have Houston, Cleveland and Buffalo up the next few weeks before they play Denver in Week 10.<\/p>\n<h3><a title=\"Football Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\"><strong>*CLICK HERE* GRAB OUR BEST Expert NFL FOOTBALL Picks for 2013 GAMBLING season!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>3. PATRIOTS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 6)<\/p>\n<p>Brady manufactured a terrific win against the Saints Sunday \u2013 this team will always be elite with Tom Terrific at the helm. And how about the defense Sunday? They limited Drew Brees to 236 yards passing and they held Jimmy Graham without a catch \u2013 impressive indeed.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>4. SEAHAWKS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 5)<\/p>\n<p>11 straight home wins and counting for the Seahawks! They didn\u2019t play exceptionally well in a win against Tennessee, but won just the same. They are likely in for a tough Thursday nighter in Arizona but are still the class of the NFC.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>5. SAINTS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 2)<\/p>\n<p>Jimmy Graham got shut out, Drew Brees passed for only 236 yards and the Saints still should have beaten the Patriots at Foxboro. This team is legit and look like the second best team in the NFL easily.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>6. COLTS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 4)<\/p>\n<p>The Colts didn\u2019t do much against the Chargers Monday night \u2013 zero touchdowns in their tuneup for their Week 7 showdown with Denver. They were victim of a great effort and game plan by the Chargers \u2013 I still have faith that they are still an elite team.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>7. 49ERS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week\u2019s Ranking: 7)<\/p>\n<p>The Niners have finally gotten back to the formula that made them one of the best last season \u2013 Frank Gore rumbled for over 100 yards, Colin Kaepernick was efficient for the offense and the defense forced their share of turnovers against Arizona. They hold steady this week with thoughts of climbing to a top 5 spot very soon.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>8. PACKERS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 9)<\/p>\n<p>Beat the Ravens with Clay Matthews out and James Jones and Randall Cobb going down with injury. Eddie Lacy stepped up and generated 120 yards rushing with a TD. The Packers with a rushing game? Could be scary.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>9. LIONS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 10)<\/p>\n<p>Reggie Bush continues to be the difference maker on this team \u2013 another 135 total yards against Cleveland Sunday. With Calvin Johnson still hampered some guy named Joseph Fauria stepped up with three TDs. Its proof that Matt Stafford can make anyone look good.  [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>10. BENGALS <\/strong><\/em>(Last Week: 8)<\/p>\n<p>Barely beat the shorthanded Bills Sunday to take over top spot in the AFC North. Andy Dalton finally had a good day \u2013 yay! 337 yards and three TDs helped his team win \u2013 the vaunted defense however was a bit of a disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>11. BEARS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 13)<\/p>\n<p>The Bears return to the dirty dozen this week on the heels of a win over the hapless Giants. Jay Cutler continues to play smarter and hasn\u2019t thrown a pick in the last two games. With stats like that you have to figure the Bears emerge in the NHL North.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>12. RAVENS<\/strong> <\/em>(Last Week: 11)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a bit generous to have the Ravens in the top 12 especially when Ray Rice only generates 24 yards rushing. Nobody can put their finger on Baltimore \u2013 no identity means a down year for the previously stout Ravens.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. DOLPHINS (Last Week: 12)<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> 14.
