WEEK 6 POWER RANKINGS

Superbowl Participants keep top two spots

If our power rankings are to be believed then there is a very strong possibility of a superbowl rematch on the horizon come the end of the season as once again the Patriots and Falcons claim the top two spots. The Steelers and Rams both moved up the rankings after the Rams big win over Seattle moving them to 5-0 and making them officially a top 5 team in the league right now.

Rising:

Baltimore Ravens (+7): It is impossible for us to ignore the Ravens for any longer, as another win has them at 4-1 and on top of the NFC North through five weeks. The defense has been great, and with some more games against Cleveland and Cincinnati on the horizon the Ravens should be able to pad their record for the playoff push.

Miami Dolphins (+6): Where did that come from? With three quarterbacks on the injured list Cody Kessler comes in off the street and drops 52 on the Titans? Going to have to think he will get some more run in that starting role for Miami moving forward.

Houston Texans (+5): Another steady performer that we can no longer ignore, the Texans are getting a great boost from rookie DeShaun Watson, who had three touchdown passes on Sunday, as they absolutely routed the Chiefs. Houston is in prime position for a playoff push with a two game lead over the Titans in the AFC South.

Falling:

Washington Redskins (-8): That's a tough fall for a team that was on a bye, but when you're the only team left without a win you have to take a tumble. Washington is probably better than some of the teams ranked ahead of them, and they should probably get their first win this weekend in Santa Clara.

Oakland Raiders (-6): Another loss for the Raiders is starting to leave us with some questions about this team. The defense is not good, and the offense has been under performing the last couple of games. This does not look like the contender from last season.

Indianapolis Colts (-5): You lose at home to the bottom team in the rankings, and down the ladder you will go. Indianapolis is now bringing up the rear in our rankings. It's a shame to see a team with a talent like Andrew Luck put such a train wreck of a roster around him.
