Week 9 UFB Rankings

What is this? Well, in addition to our own Power Rankings, we are going to post this top 15 called the Ultimate Football Rankings (UFB Rankings). It’s compiled of a bunch of rankings of a bunch of good sites, including ours (see bottom) and adds a contrast to our regular Power Rankings. More sites will be added as the weeks go on.

(1) 1. Green Bay Packers (8) 7 – 0 next at San Diego Chargers

Only undefeated team in the NFL is coming off a bye and should be ready for San Diego Chargers this week. Chargers have extra chips on their shoulders after the horrifying loss against the Kansas City Chiefs but Packers might be too much for them. As long as Aaron Rodgers stay upright, this team has chance to go 16-0.

(5) 2. Pittsburgh Steelers 5 – 2 next vs Baltimore Ravens

Steelers starting to look pretty good. Big win over the Pats, but can they stay on top with all the injuries at LB? With another big test this week, they have a chance to return the favor to the Ravens and beat them like they got beat in week 1. Look for the Steelers to show no mercy!

(4) 3. San Francisco 49ers 6 – 1 next at Washington Redskins

What this team has done is nothing short of a miracle. However, we don’t believe they are an elite team. If they can win against the Ravens and Steelers, this team should be a true contender. The stingy defense with adequate offense can carry you only so far in today’s league where no lead is safe. The 49ers should make playoff, might even clinch the playoff spot first this season.

(3) 4. New England Patriots 5 – 2 next vs New York Giants

I don’t know who is next on the schedule for Brady and company but I’m gonna assume they are gonna inherit a really pissed off Tom Brady…Oh wait, its the Giants! As in rematch of the Super Bowl a few years ago Giants! Good Luck with that New York…

(2) New Orleans Saints 5 – 3 next vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers

How do the Saints go from slaughtering one winless team by 55 to losing to another by 10? Makes no sense. This team needs home-field in the playoffs. They are a completely different team on the road. With that said, watch for Brees and Company to step it up!

(7) 6. Detroit Lions 6 – 2 next bye

They absolutely destroyed the Broncos’ last week. we don’t even know how the Broncos managed to score 10 points between Lions’ fierce pass-rush and Tim Tebow’s incompetency. The offense looked great but running game is still a concern as they only managed 4.0 yards per carry against the possibly worst defense in the league. They have a bye week and a big game against Bears in Chicago a week after.

(6) 7. Baltimore Ravens 5 – 2 next at Pittsburgh Steelers

This team is extremely inconsistent, which is hard to understand when you think about the locker room leadership it has. The Ravens better bring their best game or will be trashed at Pittsburgh, where Steelers are looking to return a favor from week 1. With Bengals playing great, the Ravens might become the third best team in AFC North.

(13) 8. Buffalo Bills 5 – 2 next vs New York Jets

Wow, another surprise here, 4-0 at home! Very impressive Buffalo, very impressive. Wanna know something more impressive? Buffalo’s offense has outscored the Patriots offense by 9 points so far this season. Dominant performance against the Skins last week. Big divisional matchup with the Jets Sunday!!!

(9) 9. New York Giants 5 – 2 next at New England Patriots

That was quite a scare versus a winless Miami team at home. Sorry, but the Giants look like the worst 5-2 team we have seen in a while…Lots of problems with the Patriots on the way.

(10) 10. New York Jets 4 – 3 next at Buffalo Bills

What kind of team will emerge after the bye? Can the Jets deliver a big blow to the Bills this Sunday? With the chance to slip into second place and the universe to going back to feeling right, Rex Ryan and the J-E-T-S go into Buffalo to start making a guarantee look more like a reality.

(12) 11. Houston Texans 5 – 3 next vs Cleveland Browns

We really like how poised and resilient they look even after they lost two super stars (Mario Williams and Andre Johnson). They have beaten teams they should beat last two weeks (Titans and Jaguars) and have very manageable schedule for the rest of the season. With AFC South all but stable, Texans should easily win the division.

(NR) 12. Philadelphia Eagles 3 – 4 next vs Chicago Bears ( Monday Night)

Dominated the Cowboys. Starting to look like a Dream Team. They treated their fans to a jump back into contention. We have no doubts in saying, this team looks like they still can win the NFC East. This week against the Bears will give us an idea if they are serious about taking the division or not.

(11) 13. Atlanta Falcons 4 – 3 next at Indianapolis Colts

Yes, this team is back and fresh after a bye, look for a strong surge outta Matty Ice and a heavy dose of Burner Turner as they wanna get a jump on Indy then look forward to the big match up with New Orleans next week.

(15) 14. Cincinnati Bengals 5 – 2 next at Tennessee Titans

This Bengals team is nothing like old teams I have seen for last few years. Everyone is dedicated to the football and there is no diva in that locker room. Andy Dalton and A.J Green will be the cornerstone this franchise for a long time. They still have to face the Steelers and the Ravens twice but the Bengals have a good chance to make playoff.

(NR) 15. Chicago Bears 4 – 3 next at Philadelphia Eagles

With a chance to pull within one game of Detroit this week, they have a BIG test at Philly on Monday Night. Matt Forte is having the best year of his career and the production of the offense depends on him. We wonder if what’s happening with Chris Johnson in Tennessee is what is holding the Bears up from paying big money to Matt Forte? All we know is, you better pay the man because there are alot of teams that will!!!
