WEEK 7 POWER RANKINGS

Not much movement in rankings as most teams hold serve

It was a slow week for action in the rankings as most of the higher ranked teams all held serve in their match ups. The few movers we will recap below.

Rising:

Detroit Lions (+7): The one real upset of the week, the Lions get to shoot up the rankings after beating the previously undefeated New Orleans Saints on the road.

Carolina Panthers (+2): The Panthers sent the Eagles to their second straight loss, and sent themselves up the rankings this week.

Buffalo Bills (+2): The Bills were off this week, but we moved them up a couple spots ahead of some of the teams with bad records around them.

Falling:

New Orleans Saints: (-7): The team on the losing end of this weeks upset, the Saints tumble down for losing to a hapless Lions team at home.

New York Giants (-5): It just gets worse for the G Men, who after falling to 1-5 get an angry Seattle team fresh off a bye in a must win game. Good luck.

Minnesota Vikings (-2): Another disappointing 1-5 team, the Vikings have been just plain awful this year. Their ranking as it stands now may be generous.
