WEEK SEVEN NFL POWER RANKINGS

-This is how we like them after Week Seven at www.IFanyoneASKS.com

1. Indianapolis Colts –This could be our Super Bowl champion this year

3. New England Patriots –When Brady is on his game, this team is hard to beat
4. Denver Broncos –Surprise team of the year, will earn it with upcoming games
5. Pittsburgh Steelers –Win over the Vikings secured that the Steel City is back
6. Minnesota Vikings –The Vikings secondary worries us

9. Cincinnati Bengals –What a surprise, will it continue we think it just may
10. Baltimore Ravens –This team is better than their record indicates

13. Green Bay Packers –Vikings game this week will tell us a lot about the Pack
14. Miami Dolphins –The Wildcat team is better than their record
15. New York Jets –The running game will win games of NY Jets, not Sanchez.
16. Atlanta Falcons –There are concerns here
17. San Diego Chargers –Finally the Chargers have a big win, only against KC
18. Houston Texans –This team is unpredictable, but good, how good we don’t know

30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers –Not for sure if there is more than 1 win this year
31. St. Louis –Could beat a team or two if they get out of their own way
32. Cleveland Browns –Sickness, QB problems, Coaching issues, this is really bad

Teams That We Currently Disagree On

• Miami Dolphins (IIA=14, ESPN=19) –Miami is a team that has been close to beating New Orleans and Indianapolis and just missed, we like them to rebound
• Atlanta Falcons (IIA=16, ESPN=11) –We thought Atlanta was exposed this week and they could tumble further
• Jacksonville Jaguars (IIA=26, ESPN=21) –Did everyone forget that Jacksonville almost lost to the Rams in Week 6, this team is questionable

TEAMS THAT DIDN’T SHOW UP IN WEEK SEVEN

Parody in the NFL has been hard to find this year with point margins increasing and the division between the good and bad teams is huge. The strange thing is that there have been some surprises namely Cincinnati and Denver for the good teams list and Tennessee and Carolina for the bad teams list. So let’s have a look at the bad teams because everyone is talking about the good teams.

1. Chicago Bears- Wow, did anyone see this coming? How about Cedric Benson? Talk about payback. Where was Jay Cutler? The Bears defense? Matt Forte? Why is no one answering? Hey Bears you better figure it out or the Lions will beat you!

2. Atlanta Falcons- Going into the week we all felt that this game would be one of the best and then the Falcons went cold, very cold. Now everyone is jumping on the Cowboys bandwagon, may want to wait on the Falcons there are problems brewing.

3. Oakland Raiders- We admit we thought that the Raiders could be ok, strong defense, a few big offensive plays and another win similar to the Eagles victory could happen from time to time. The NY Jets killed this momentum and we doubt it will regenerate.

4. Carolina Panthers- Ouch, what is going on here? Why are they still playing Jake Delhomme? Run Stewart and Williams every play, there you have it. Just do not pass anymore. A reverse every eight plays to Smith works for a pass play.

5. Kansas City Chiefs- We thought that the Chiefs would give San Diego some trouble on Sunday, but nope all we received was a mouthful of Larry Johnson being an idiot as usual. Matt Cassel looks to be an early bust and the team is a mess.

6. Washington Redskins- Watch the highlights, the fumbles and interceptions have got to go not Jim Zorn. The defense played excellent and Philly tried to keep it close. The Redskins are terrible on offense.

7. Cleveland Browns- The flu catches the team and it showed on Sunday. There is nothing good going on here. It is hard to see the Browns winning this year.

8. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- And the British may never go to an NFL game again with this type of performance. What happened to Tampa Bay? Terrible team, challenging a group of teams for no wins.

9. St. Louis Rams- Is Indianapolis that good? I thought that the Rams played well against the Viking last week, excluding several bad turnovers. The Rams should change their name to the Stephen Jackson’s because that is the only player on this team.

10. Minnesota Vikings- Two turnovers taken to the house for TD’s! How is this possible? The Steelers defense is good, but that good? We think not, the Vikings play Green Bay this week and need to win this one on the road to get back up there in the top teams talk with Indianapolis, New Orleans and Denver.

Teams That We Currently Disagree On

• Pittsburgh Steelers (IIA=6, ESPN=15) – We like Pittsburgh to turn around and start to climb the charts; we may be overly excited this week.
• Denver Broncos (IIA=14, ESPN=8) – Even at 4-0 we are not totally sold on Denver and their upcoming tough schedule should prove this doubt.

TEAMS THAT DIDN’T SHOW UP ON WEEK FOUR

So here at www.IFanyoneASKS.comwe took a BYE WEEK in Week Three reviews and a lot has changed, but our format has not. We will be listed as the only team for Week Three that did not show up and the others will be left alone.

During Week Four we caught some bad games. The Dallas at Denver game was probably the best and it only included three TD’s. Pittsburgh tried it’s best to make the ending of their game against San Diego entertaining, however could not help the Chargers out enough. I think the best is yet to come and tonight Packers at Vikings will make up for a poor week.

1. Tennessee Titans – 0-4, this is one more loss than the Titans had all of last year. Did losing Haynesworth destroy this defense? Is Kerry Collins really too old at this point? We can not figure it out Tennessee, every week we try to resurrect you and you disappoint, well you made it to the top finally…of the losing column.
2. Buffalo Bills – In Week One we thought we would see an exciting team in Buffalo, boy were we wrong. We thought getting Lynch back would be another weapon to bring to battle. Nope, this team will struggle.
3. St. Louis Rams (3rd Appearance) – 3 for 3 for this list and they should be here every week. Zero points scored; please do not select Stephen Jackson on your fantasy team as long as he is a Ram.
4. Oakland Raiders – JaMarcus Russell and Al Davis together are ruining this team. It is hard to have any hope for the Raiders. This team will be a strong member of the list of terrible teams.
5. San Diego Chargers (2nd Appearance) – This is a surprise, we were not alone in thinking the Chargers could be a contender this year, however we thought they would have a running game and defense and at this point they do not have either.
6. Dallas Cowboys – Is Denver this good? Is this Romo’s last year? We think the answer could be “Yes” in both cases.
7. Kansas City Chiefs – The game against the NY Giants was over before it started. If you watched this game you could see that Kansas City is far from a win and this division is looking better and better for Denver.
8. Seattle Seahawks (2nd Appearance) – Once again Seattle is plagued with injuries and problems. At least TJ Housh showed up for the game this week; however with the 49ers rolling this is going to be a tough year in the Northwest for their beloved Seahawks.
9. Detroit Lions – Stafford gets injured and the team went on pause letting Chicago run away with this one as soon as they kicked off to Knox in the second half. Come on Detroit please do it, do it for the economy and do it for the Tigers that will be crushed on Tuesday by the Twins.
10. TIE Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2nd Appearance) & Washington Redskins (2nd Appearance) – Both teams need to review what they are trying to accomplish with this year. This game was a snoozer and we would pick any of the TOP 25 D1 College teams to beat these teams.
