Week 7 NFL Power Rankings

1. Green Bay Packers- Right now the Pack are the stand out team in the NFL with offense and a loaded defense they will be hard to beat.

2. New England Patriots- Tom Brady and Wes Welker make the Patriots go but Green-Ellis has carried his share as well.

3. Baltimore Ravens- Flacco must be more consistent, the offense must pick up and get better.

4. Pittsburgh Steelers- Still wondering who will show up on Sunday, Good Steelers or just average?

5. New Orleans Saints- Brees is an all-pro and Graham is emerging but must play better on defense.

6. Detroit Lions- Stafford to Johnson is the key connection if the defense gets hot look out.

7. San Francisco 49ers- The team is as tough as their coach, they must stay consistent and Smith must have the hot hand.

8. Buffalo Bills- Fred Jackson is a key piece to Buffalo’s playoff run, if Fitzpatrick can continue his magic the Bills have a shot.

9. Chicago Bears- Forte is the Bears main offensive force, so Pay the Man!

10. Atlanta Falcons- Have one of the most explosive offenses in the league but must get better on defense.

11. Houston Texans-The Texans need Andre Johnson back in the line up to create open space for Foster to roam.

12. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Key wins in the division have them sitting pretty but they are still young.

13. San Diego Chargers- Injuries might stop the momentum from the Chargers. Gates is the key to the Chargers mojo.

14. New York Jets- Looked good on Monday night but they must keep up the momentum in a tough AFC division.

15. Oakland Raiders- With the acquisition of Carson Palmer things just got a whole lot more interesting.

16. Philadelphia Eagles- Will the real Philadelphia Eagles please stand up, we will see after the bye week.

17. Dallas Cowboys- Heart breaker to New England, offense must put up points on the scoreboard.

18. New York Giants- Found the rushing attack against a good Bills defense now to keep it going.

19. Washington Redskins- Rex is benched and Beck is brought in sounds a lot like the preseason…controversy.

20. Cincinnati Bengals- Dalton and Green are taking over Cincinnati, not now but look to the future (real soon).

21. Carolina Panthers- Cam is becoming frustrated in Carolina unless they can give him another option at receiver his frustration will continue.

22. Tennessee Titans- Hasselbeck has been a surprise and the lack of Chris Johnson production has also been a surprise.

23. Arizona Cardinals- Kolb is struggling and that is not what the Cardinals or their fans want to see.

24. Denver Broncos- Tebow will be starting after the bye, fans are excited let’s see if the organization will be after the next game.

25. Kansas City Chiefs- Finally getting offensive production we will see if that continues this week.

26. Cleveland Browns- Not a good team without Peyton Hillis, need more playmakers.

27. Jacksonville Jaguars- MJD and not much else going on in Jacksonville. Need improvement all around on both sides of the ball.

28. Minnesota Vikings- Hammered on Sunday night by the Bears and now Mcnabb is benched for Ponder, might signal the end for #5.

29. Seattle Seahawks- Not a very good team but can show flashes of being good but when they are bad they are really bad.

30. Miami Dolphins- Moore is not better in Miami, Marshall had a vibe with Henne he must now find that same vibe with Moore.

31. St. Louis Rams- Jackson is an animal at running back and now with the acquisition of Lloyd from Denver the running game will benefit greatly.

32. Indianapolis Colts- Painter has proven to be a solid starter but still winless we will see if the Colts can turn it around against the Saints.
