Week 5 Power Rankings

1. Atlanta Falcons (4-0, 12 PWR) Close game against the Panthers. Amazing final drive by Matt Ryan with a great catch by Roddy White. They are still looking very strong. (LW 1, No Change )
2. Houston Texans (4-0 17.5 PWR) Still looking strong. Very winnable game this week against the Jets. (LW 2, No Change )
3. Arizona Cardinals (4-0 7.5 PWR) Did what they had to do to defeat the Dolphins. Winnable game in St.Louis on Thursday. If the offense can perform at the level of the defense the sky is the limit. (LW 3, No Change )
4. Baltimore (3-1 9.5 PWR) Defeated the Browns last week. Easy game against the Chiefs this week. Flacco and the offense look great. He is passing the ball effectively. (LW 4, No Change )
5. Chicago (3-1 10 PWR) Chicago made Dallas look weak. The defense is remarkable. Peppers, Urlacher, Briggs, they are all getting up there, but still performing at a high level. If Cutler has time to throw the offense looks effective. (LW 5, No Change )
6. San Francisco (3-1 9.75 PWR) They absolutely destroyed the Jets. Can they follow that up with destruction of another New York state team? Can they destroy the Bills? (LW 6, No Change )
7. New England (2-2 10.50 PWR) Big game against the Broncos this week. They absolutely wrecked the Bills. The offense is now clicking and the Pats look like they will be hard to stop. (LW 8, +1 Change )
8. Green Bay (2-2 1 PWR) Defeated the Saints last week. They were once again subject to some questionable officiating. Should move to 3-2 if they can pick up the win in Indy. (LW 9, +1 Change )
9. Cincinnati (3-1 0 PWR) If they beat the Dolphins this week they will be 4-1. Huge game for the Bengals. (LW 13, +4 Change )
10. Philadelphia (3-1 -4.25) Big win over the Giants. It is important to pick up divisional wins. Interesting game for them going to Pittsburgh to take on Big Ben and the Steelers. (LW 14, +4 Change ) 
11. New York Giants (2-2 6.75 PWR) Their rushing attack is abysmal. If they don't pick up a win against the Browns they will show how many holes the team has. The final drive against Philadelphia was bad on so many levels. (LW 7, -4 Change )
12. Minnesota (3-1 4.5 PWR) Winnable game this week against the Titans. They picked up a big win over the Lions last week. The Vikings are showing many around the league that they are a legitimate team. If they move to 4-1 the doubters will surely have to stop doubting. (LW 16, +4 Change )
13. Denver (2-2 7.75 PWR) They destroyed Oakland this week. Manning and company have a huge game against the Patriots this week. AFC West is going to be a toss up. Every single game counts. (LW 19, +6 Change )
14. San Diego (3-1 7.25 PWR) Will they beat the Saints this week? I believe a victory over the Saints could really show San Diego's worth. (LW 18, +4 Change )
15. Seattle (2-2 3 PWR) Lost to the Rams. Marshawn and the defense are the only real upsides on this team. Battling the Panthers this week. If they lose to Carolina they will really be exposed. (LW 10, -5 Change )
16. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-2 0.66 PWR) Big game against Vick and the Eagles this week. A win would bring them back to .500. (LW 15, -1 Change )
17. New York Jets (2-2 -7 PWR) Destroyed by the 49ers. Offense is looking terrible, defense is not faring much better. Tough game against the Texans this week. (LW 11, -6 Change )
18. Buffalo Bills (2-2 -4 PWR) They were absolutely destroyed by the Pats. Will the 49ers be the team to do it this week, or will Buffalo surprise many? (LW 12, -6 Change )
19. Dallas Cowboys (2-2 -5.75 PWR) Looked terrible against Chicago. I would not give up hope on the season yet. Their is still time to reroute the ship. They are 2-2, not 0-4. (LW 17, -2 Change )
20. Washington Redskins (2-2 0 PWR) Snuck one out against the Bucs. I personally believe the Redskins are going to get dusted by the Falcons this week. (LW 21, 1+ Change )
21. Oakland Raiders (2-2 -14.5 PWR) Oakland has a bye this week. I think it will help McFadden and company. They need to start retooling their game plan and need a few players to get healthy. This could be an extremely helpful week of rest. (LW 20, -1 Change )
22. St. Louis Rams (2-2 -3 PWR) Defeated the Seahawks last week. Can they beat the Cardinals? I don't think so. Their offense is just to poor. (LW 31, +8 Change )
23. Miami Dolphins (1-3 -2.65 PWR) Key game against Cincinnati. Reggie Bush has looked good, the offense has had some burst of success. If they beat the Bengals this week it will say a lot about their team.(LW 22, -1 Change )
24. Detroit Lions (1-3 -3.5 PWR) The Lions have not looked good. Hopefully this bye week will allow them to get rest and alter their plans. I was upset they gave up on Kevin Smith so quickly. Matt Stafford certainly does not look like 2011 Matt Stafford. (LW 23, -1 Change )
25. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-3 -2.25 PWR) Could have two more wins if things went a little differently. Hopefully they can regroup during the bye week. (LW 24, -1 Change )
26. Indianapolis Colts (1-2 -7.33 PWR) How will they play the Packers? 2-2 would look much better then 1-3. I personally believe they will lose to the Pack but a win is always possible. (LW 25, -1 Change )
27. Carolina Panthers (1-3 -7.25 PWR) If they do not beat Seattle this week they will fall to 1-4. Not something you want to happen. (LW 26, -1 Change )
28. Kansas City Chiefs (1-3 -12 PWR) Tough game against Baltimore this week. The AFC West is a toss up. Can Kansas City win and keep hope? (LW 27, -1 Change )
29. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-3 -8.75 PWR) Tough game against Chicago this week. Will the Jags sneak a win? I don't think so. (LW 27, No Change ) (LW 28, -1 Change )
30. New Orleans Saints (0-4 -5 PWR) They are in shambles without Peyton. Brees is close to a record. The Saints are almost 0-5. Will they beat San Diego and get a win at home, or will they fall to 0-5? (LW 29, -1 Change )
31. Tennessee Titans (1-3 -17.5 PWR) The Titans are not doing well and I don't believe it will change soon. (LW 30, -1 Change )
32. Cleveland Browns (0-4 -6.25 PWR) Unless Richardson can have 200+ yard games, and Little can start holding on to balls, things look bleak. (LW 32, No Change )
