Power Rankings - Week 6
And then there was one. The Indianapolis Colts handily defeated the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, and stand as the only undefeated team in the league heading into Week 6 of the season. The three other teams that went into Week 5 with perfect records all lost - the Washington Redskins, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Cincinnati Bengals. That means the Colts stay atop the list this week, and they can improve their mark to 6-0 (and ensure they keep the No. 1 ranking) by defeating the St. Louis Rams at the RCA Dome on the next edition of Monday Night Football. The Redskins, Bucs, and Bengals all slip this week, but not as much as they might have if the teams around them in the rankings were winning. The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a bad loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Atlanta Falcons played without Michael Vick and fell to the New England Patriots, and the San Diego Chargers were dropped by the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football. In fact, with most teams at or within a game of the .500 mark about two-thirds of the Power Rankings has become a toss-up; basically, outside of a few standouts we still don't really know who is going to be good this season. Against-the-spread the standings aren't any more clear. Although the Colts are 5-0 on the season, they're a more mediocre 3-2 ATS. The league's top ATS team has been the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are 4-1, while the New York Giants, Washington Redskins, Detroit Lions, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns are all 3-1 ATS on the season. At the other end of the scale, picking the St. Louis Rams (1-4), Arizona Cardinals (1-4), Baltimore Ravens (1-3), Houston Texans (1-3), or Minnesota Vikings (1-3) to win ATS has been a money-losing venture to this point. Here is the Week 6 edition of the NFL Power Rankings. 01 - Indianapolis Colts 5-0 SU, 3-2 ATS (Last Week 01)Might as well have had a bye last week, as the 49ers didn't put up much of a fight in their contest. 02 - Pittsburgh Steelers 3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 03)Picked up a win over San Diego on Monday, but Ben Roethlisberger ended the game with his knee wrapped in ice. 03 - Denver Broncos 4-1 SU, 2-2-1 ATS (Last Week 08)Jake Plummer went 10-of-25 for only 92 yards passing versus the Redskins, but they held on for the victory. 04 - New England Patriots 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS (Last Week 07)Tom Brady was good in their win against the Falcons, but the defense didn't look so hot versus a second-string QB. 05 - Atlanta Falcons 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS (Last Week 04)Michael Vick's late scratch from Sunday's game must've caused some distress for those with cash on the Falcons. 06 - Jacksonville Jaguars 3-2 SU, 4-1 ATS (Last Week 13)Contained the Bengals' attack enough to pick up a win on Sunday night; next get to face the Steelers in Pittsburgh. 07 - Cincinnati Bengals 4-1 SU, 3-2 ATS (Last Week 05)Failed in their effort to bump their record to 5-0; will be looking to rebound next week with a game in Tennessee. 08 - Carolina Panthers 3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 12)Had to rally to defeat the Cardinals last week; Steve Smith had two touchdown catches in the 24-20 victory. 09 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 4-1 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 06)We knew it couldn't last forever, but falling from the ranks of the unbeaten by scoring only field goals is still ugly. 10 - Philadelphia Eagles 3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 02)Completely outplayed by the Cowboys last week, with QB Donovan McNabb throwing for only 131 yards. 11 - New York Giants 3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 11)We're beginning to see the family resemblance with Eli; come off their bye week to take on the Cowboys in Dallas. 12 - Washington Redskins 3-1 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 09)A failed two-point conversion attempt late in last week's game versus Denver sent them to their first loss of the year. 13 - San Diego Chargers 2-3 SU, 2-2-1 ATS (Last Week 10)Couldn't hold onto a lead in the fourth quarter on Monday night, as the Steelers booted a late field goal for the win. 14 - Kansas City Chiefs 2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 14)Had a week to stew about that loss to the Eagles, and will return to the field to play the Redskins on Sunday. 15 - Seattle Seahawks 3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS (Last Week 16)Got a monkey off their back with that win against the Rams, and now have a lead in the NFC West division. 16 - Dallas Cowboys 3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 20)Drew Bledsoe had a good game against the Eagles: 24-of-35 for 289 yards passing and three touchdown strikes. 17 - St. Louis Rams 2-3 SU, 1-4 ATS (Last Week 15)Losing at home to the Seahawks was a blow, especially with Seattle's top two receivers out for the contest. 18 - Detroit Lions 2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 21)Joey Harrington threw for only 97 yards last week, but the Lions' running game led them to a win over the Ravens. 19 - New York Jets 2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 23)Vinny Testaverde could only lead the offense to a 14-point effort, but it was enough for them to beat the Bucs. 20 - Buffalo Bills 2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 24)Kelly Holcomb led them to a win over the rival Dolphins on the weekend, and the job should continue to be his. 21 - Cleveland Browns 2-2 SU, 3-1 ATS (Last Week 26)Trent Dilfer found Antonio Bryant in the end zone twice late in the game last week to give the Browns the win. 22 - Minnesota Vikings 1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS (Last Week 22)Had a bye week to regroup from a poor start to the season, and will face the struggling Bears this weekend. 23 - Miami Dolphins 2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 17)Gus Frerotte tossed two touchdown passes last week, but the three interceptions didn't help them versus the Bills. 24 - Baltimore Ravens 1-3 SU, 1-3 ATS (Last Week 18)Doesn't much matter who your quarterback is if you're going to allow the opposition to score 35 points in a game. 25 - New Orleans Saints 2-3 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 19)The loss that dropped them under the .500 mark was a bad one - the Packers scored 52 unanswered points Sunday. 26 - Tennessee Titans 2-3 SU, 3-2 ATS (Last Week 29)No one's going to give them a medal for topping the Texans, but it did inch their record closer to the .500 mark. 27 - Oakland Raiders 1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 27)Momentum from their win over the Cowboys was halted by their bye week; get the Chargers this weekend. 28 - Green Bay Packers 1-4 SU, 3-2 ATS (Last Week 31)Looks like Brett Favre wasn't happy about that winless mark, as evidenced by the beating they gave to the Saints. 29 - Chicago Bears 1-3 SU, 2-2 ATS (Last Week 25)Kyle Orton threw for only 117 yards (plus a touchdown) in their loss to the Browns. The job isn't getting done. 30 - Arizona Cardinals 1-4 SU, 1-4 ATS (Last Week 28)Were up 17-10 on the Panthers at halftime in last week's game, but they couldn't make that lead hold up. 31 - San Francisco 49ers 1-4 SU, 2-3 ATS (Last Week 30)Rookie QB Alex Smith's line versus the Colts: 9-of-23 passing, 74 yards, zero touchdowns, four interceptions. 32 - Houston Texans 0-4 SU, 1-3 ATS (Last Week 32)Playing the Titans at home was a great chance for them to pick up that first victory. Too bad they blew it.
