NFL Power Rankings - Week 10
One way or the other you were going to hear a large whoosh after the Indianapolis/New England game on Monday night. Either it was going to be the wind coming out of the Colts' sails, or it was going to be a big sigh of relief from Power Rankings headquarters as the rankings avoided decimation. Thankfully for us it was the latter, as the Colts stomped the Patriots 40-21 and allowed the rankings to keep some semblance of order heading into Week 10 of the NFL schedule. In fact, each of the top eight teams from last week's list remain in the same position, as do the bottom six. That means only the middling teams are currently jockeying for position. Indy's win on Monday night also put their rejuvenated offense on display. After struggling to put up points in the early going (despite piling up wins), Peyton Manning and company have been terrorizing defenses the past four weeks and now rank near the top of the league in scoring. In fact, only the New York Giants (at 29.1 points-per-game) are now better in that category than the Colts (28.6). Rounding out the current top five are the San Diego Chargers (28.0), Carolina Panthers (27.5), and Seattle Seahawks (26.8). Sitting in the bottom five are the Baltimore Ravens (12.1), Houston Texans (13.4), Cleveland Browns (14.3), San Francisco 49ers (14.6), and New York Jets (14.8). On the other side of the ball, allowing the Patriots to score 21 points pushed Indianapolis into a tie with the Chicago Bears for least points-per-game allowed. Both teams are currently giving up 12.3 points-per-game on defense. The Cincinnati Bengals (14.9), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (15.1), and Pittsburgh Steelers (15.5) make up the rest of the top five in that category. The worst defenses through nine weeks of the season? The 49ers (30.8 points-per-game allowed), St. Louis Rams (28.9), Patriots (27.5), Texans (27.0), and New Orleans Saints (26.9). Here is the Week 10 edition of the NFL Power Rankings. 01 - Indianapolis Colts 8-0 SU, 6-2 ATS (Last Week 01)Will have to keep that offense clicking on all gears to cover a big home spread versus the Texans on Sunday. 02 - Atlanta Falcons 6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS (Last Week 02)Michael Vick had his best passing game of the season to keep them in a tie atop the NFC South division. 03 - Pittsburgh Steelers 6-2 SU, 5-3 ATS (Last Week 03)Having Charlie Batch at QB was enough for them to beat Green Bay. Might be enough to beat the Browns too. 04 - Denver Broncos 6-2 SU, 5-2-1 ATS (Last Week 04)Come off their bye week with both the Chiefs and Chargers nipping at their heels in the AFC West division. 05 - Cincinnati Bengals 7-2 SU, 5-3-1 ATS (Last Week 05)Had little trouble defeating the Ravens last week to stay atop the AFC North division.

Also paying off ATS this season. 15 - Washington Redskins 5-3 SU, 5-3 ATS (Last Week 18)Took advantage of an Eagles team missing Terrell Owens last week, getting back into the win column as a result. 16 - New England Patriots 4-4 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 09)Despite their porous defense and the gut-punching loss to the Colts, they're still in playoff position in the AFC East. 17 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 5-3 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 10)Two interceptions, only one touchdown pass for Chris Simms on Sunday as they lost their second game in a row. 18 - Philadelphia Eagles 4-4 SU, 2-6 ATS (Last Week 13)Now occupy the cellar of the NFC East division, and have been even worse to their supporters (2-6 ATS) this year. 19 - Oakland Raiders 3-5 SU, 4-4 ATS (Last Week 19)Couldn't hold on for the win versus the Chiefs Sunday, and as a result see their record drop two games below .500. 20 - Miami Dolphins 3-5 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 20)Only 103 yards passing and an interception for Gus Frerotte Sunday as the Dolphins were stymied by the Falcons. 21 - Detroit Lions 3-5 SU, 5-3 ATS (Last Week 21)Joey Harrington returns as the quarterback, the Lions pick up another loss. To Brad Johnson's Vikings no less. 22 - Buffalo Bills 3-5 SU, 4-4 ATS (Last Week 22)Need to contain the Chiefs' offense this week to move closer to the .500 mark, and end their two game losing streak. 23 - Cleveland Browns 3-5 SU, 4-4 ATS (Last Week 25)Got a win versus the Titans on Sunday, but will need to handle the much-tougher Steelers to make it two in a row. 24 - Minnesota Vikings 3-5 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 26)Won versus the Lions on Sunday, but will need to catch up with the streaking Bears in order to win the division. 25 - New York Jets 2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 23)Looks like it will be Brooks Bollinger for the foreseeable future, as Vinny Testaverde has been demoted to backup. 26 - Baltimore Ravens 2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 24)Kyle Boller should be back at quarterback for the Ravens in Week 10, and trying to put an end to a three game skid. 27 - Arizona Cardinals 2-6 SU, 2-6 ATS (Last Week 27)Had no chance versus the Seahawks last week; will have a better shot versus the Lions in Week 10 action. 28 - New Orleans Saints 2-7 SU, 3-5-1 ATS (Last Week 28)Boast the league's longest current losing streak, at five games. Have an open date this week to dwell on that fact. 29 - Tennessee Titans 2-7 SU, 3-6 ATS (Last Week 29)The loss to the Browns on Sunday was their fourth straight; like the Saints, they are off this week to try and regroup. 30 - San Francisco 49ers 2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 30)Thanks to the Cards, there's a chance they might not end up in last place in the division; the two are currently tied. 31 - Green Bay Packers 1-7 SU, 4-4 ATS (Last Week 31)Three losses in a row after Sunday's defeat. At least they're doing better ATS, where they sit with a decent 4-4 mark. 32 - Houston Texans 1-7 SU, 3-5 ATS (Last Week 32)Will try for their second win of the season this weekend - against the Colts. Maybe it will be a letdown game for Indy?
