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 (6) – 7 – 0 next bye
What a game this was. At the start of the game, we thought it would be a blowout but Vikings were more than ready to battle their NFC North rival. But once again, Packers proved why they are the favorite to win. They stayed resilient and ended the game with a win.
(5) 2. New Orleans Saints 5 – 2 next at St. Louis Rams
These Saints are not merciful. The Saints can score on anybody. They have another cupcake this week against the Rams. This can give them an opportunity to seperate themselves from the rest of the division.
(2) 3. New England Patriots (1) 5 – 1 next at Pittsburgh Steelers
This game against the Steelers might decide how this season plays out. If the defense can stop the Steelers offense, it will gain necessary confidence to go against any other team in the league. Offense will do enough to win the game; it is up to the defense to step up.
(4) 4. San Fransisco 49ers 5 – 1 next vs Cleveland Browns
Bye week helped a lot of players heal up. Cleveland, Washington, Arizona, and New York Giants are the next four……They could be 9-1 a month from now….
(10) 5. Pittsburgh Steelers 5 – 2 next vs New England Patriots
Patriots vs. Steelers are just a great match up. Sure Steelers are not what they used to be but this is still an elite team that is capable of winning against any team in the league. Atmosphere in the Heinz field will be amazing since Pittsburgh fans are as passionate as any other fans in the nation. After games against Patriots and Ravens, Steelers have very easy schedule until the end of the season.
(3) 6. Baltimore Ravens 4 – 2 next vs Arizona Cardinals
That was a dreadful game, absolutely dreadful, we cannot describe how dreadful….Better get your act together against Arizona this week before your match up next week against Pittsburgh. A team that is looking to return the favor and embarrass you.
(6) 7. Detroit Lions 5 – 2 next at Denver Broncos
2 losses in a row now, and Suh is really starting to look the the dirty player a select few people were calling him. If Stafford is healthy enough to play, it is a good chance for Detroit to bounce back and get a win and some confidence. If Stafford sits out, it will be a long and tough Sunday afternoon.
(7) 8. San Diego Chargers 4 – 2 next at Kansas City Chiefs
We thought the Chargers had finally become an elite team but they were just pretenders. Sure Jets have talent to be considered as an elite team but they have been struggling badly. Chargers should not have any problem winning the AFC West but they will fall short once again. Perhaps Chargers would have won two Super Bowls had they hired Rex Ryan as the head coach.
(11) 9. New York Giants 4 – 2 next vs Miami Dolphins
Giants have suffered a lot thanks to injuries but this team has overcame somewhat. With NFC east all but settled, Giants have a chance to win the division. Also they still have a great pass-rush, which is becoming ever more important thanks to the transformation of NFL to passing league.
(14) 10. New York Jets 4 – 3 next bye
Comeback win vs Chargers was huge, but 2 gigantor division match ups await. Next week versus the Bills, and the following week…..Against some guy named Tom Brady. This will give Rex Ryan a chance to evaluate whether or not they truly are Super Bowl ready.
(NR) 11. Atlanta Falcons 4 – 3 next bye
Miracle that Matt Ryan isn’t out for the season. Winning in Detroit is a pretty big deal. Atlanta gets a well needed week off, gives Matt Ryan a chance to ice his ankle and stay off it for an extra week. Come out of the bye and play Indianapolis, couldn’t ask for an easier two weeks.
(NR) 12. Houston Texans 4 – 3 next vs Jacksonville Jaguars
Huge measuring stick game against the Titans and they whipped Tennessee. The Texans did this without Andre Johnson and Mario Williams, and with two easy match ups then one more til the bye, this schedule sets up nicely for Kubiak, who finally might have a shot at the playoffs this year.
(8) 13. Buffalo Bills 4 – 2 next vs Washington Redskins
Should get the W this week coming off a bye and hosting the falling Redskins. Buffalo needs to pick up as many Ws as they can to ensure that there is not a New England and New York take over again in that division. Fat chance of them stopping that though!!!
(13) 14. Dallas Cowboys 3 – 3 next at Philadelphia Eagles
Felix Jones who? DeMarco Murray is in town, and nobody is happier then Tony Romo… It’s all you, DeMarco Murray. With Murray helping to take some pressure off Romo, will Romo calm down, throw smarter passes, and not blow leads??? Don’t count on it!
(15) 15. Cincinnati Bengals 4 – 2 next at Seattle Seahawks
Will Cincy cool off after the bye? They play Seattle this week, if the Browns can beat them, the Bengals should roll into town, get the W, and build some more confidence in their young team. Lets see how long they can keep pace with the Steelers.
