We have another wild week in the power rankings for week ten. Plenty of teams that we think are done for the year. Plenty of teams on the rise as well. Hope you donate money to help fund Nathan Peterman’s early retirement in Buffalo. Make sure you tip your bartender well as we have another exciting week in the power rankings,

#1.NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 7-1 (UP 1 SPOT) Saints with a big win last week versus the Rams that could be a preview of the NFC championship game. In the dome the Saints are so hard to beat. They built up a big lead in the first half. The second half the Rams made this a game. Then Drew Brees got his act together and sealed the deal and finished the Rams fatality style.

This fatality has an old man about Drew Brees’ age finishing a youngster we will name Goff. In other news, Saints signed the great Dez Bryant. His career with New Orleans very short as Dez hurt himself in practice an season ending injury for #88. Back to twitter for your usually stupid opinions on Cowboys football. The revenge game is not happening for 2018. Now Saints might sign the cancer of the league in Brandon Marshall. Never played in a playoff game. He was cut earlier this season by the Seahawks. Will Marshall ruin another team?

#2.LA. RAMS 8-1 (DOWN 1 SPOT) The undefeated season comes to an end. The 1972 Dolphin team popped the one cork on the one bottle champagne to celebrate their perfect year. After a sip of the bubbly and a dose of metamucil, they had to get back to the home before the street lights came on. Rams made some great adjustments to get back in the game against the Saints last weekend. It took all that effort just to get back in the game. Then to give up a score after tying the game takes all the wind out of your sails. I think a loss will help this team in the long run. They should rebound quickly as they have a ton of talent on both sides of the ball to make another run and find themselves meeting up again with the Saints in the playoffs.

#3.NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS 7-2 (SAME) Last weekend was a marquee match up that featured two of best quarterbacks in the league playing against each other. It was Rodgers versus Brady. Reminded me of a great match up of the past that did not happen very often. Marino versus Montana was a great match up that met up in the Superbowl. This is the second time Rodgers versus  Brady have went at it. The Evil Empire pulled away late in the game to give Brady the win over Rodgers. Both quarterbacks are dating high profile celebrities. Brady might be married. I can see them betting their girl on the game. Brady gets to race cars with Danica this weekend. At least Rodger’s State Farm guy wears better khakis than Brady’s Farmer’s guy. Cheese heads need any small victory they can get these days into the season.

#4. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS 8-1 (SAME) How would you like to get promoted at your job. Then be asked to beat the Kansas City Chiefs. The Cleveland Browns was the latest victim of the Chiefs high octane offense that steam rolled the Browns. The experts and reporters say Mahomes is due to have a let down. To have a bad game. Not seeing that as this team is hard to stop. The concern I did have with the Chiefs is not to get in those long losing streaks. Last few years the first loss led to five straight. Then they would have to dig themselves out of it. Fight and crawl their way back into the playoff hunt.  They lost to the Patriots weeks back. Since then they have recovered and now have won three in a row.

#5.LA CHARGERS 6-2 (SAME) I was a bit nervous to have the Chargers at number five. It’s a team that is very frustrating. All the talent they have. In the past things like missed kicks would doom them. Then Phillip Rivers would throw a stupid pass that would get picked off on a potential game winning drive. Many did not think the Chargers could go on the road and win in Seattle who plays well at home. Plus it is a team that has done well lately. The chargers still had missed kicks but they over came them and won a big road game. Seems like they really don’t have a home field advantage. The games in LA are more of the other team’s fans. I can’t wait until their next match up with the Chiefs, should be a good one. The Chargers are like that poop hanging on to the the Chiefs bum hair and not going away.

#6.PITTSBURGH STEELERS 5-2-1 (UP ONE SPOT) Who the hell needs Leveon Bell. Not the Steelers, they have the Terminator. Bell is in Pittsburgh playing pick up games of basketball as his saving account is not getting bigger as the hold out continues. The Thursday night Big Ben and the offense and the defense updated their shower curtain and they completely steam rolled the panthers. Crumbs of newton laid on the turf after the lights went off in the stadium. Reminds me of the few guys on the Chicago Bears defense in 1985 who held out the whole season. The Bears defense did not need them as they dominated their opponents. Then they won the Superbowl. They quickly ended their hold out the next season missing out on a historical team that year. Not saying the Steelers are going to the big game. But Bell might miss out on Big Ben’s prize winning chip dip at his house for his annual Superbowl party. Just saying, legend is he uses fresh garlic.

#7.HOUSTON TEXANS 6-3 (DOWN 1 SPOT) Had to drop the Texans down one even though they have won six straight. Last week they won against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos took the Texans to the brink of the game and could of pulled off a comeback victory. This after the Broncos gave the Texans one of their starting receivers earlier in the week. At times teams are going to play you tough in a close game but the Broncos. Come on this game should of been over after the coin toss. If you’re going to let teams hang with you, you might not be in my top ten the following week. I will expect a card from the team asking me to forgive the bums.

#8. MINNESOTA VIKINGS 5-3-1 (SAME) Vikings took care of business last week against the Lions. Vikings fed off division teams last season. Teams like the Lions can be troublesome. Lions have taken down the Patriots and the Packers. Not a slouch team. But It’s  a game you need and sends you into bye week with a winning record at pretty much the half way point of the season. The Viking defense did well which is a good sign as that was the unit that helped pave the way for the team last season.

#9.CINCINNATI BENGALS 5-3 (UP 1 SPOT) The Bengals were on bye last week and moved up one spot with a few teams doing bad last week. Bengals won the week before their bye after losing two in row. Looks like it will be them and the Steelers fighting for the division title since the Browns have hit a slippery slope.The Ravens have suddenly started to free fall. Even if the Bengals do not win the division I expect them to get a wild card. Lots of talent on both sides of the ball. They face a tough challenge this week against the Saints.They are at home and if they can pull it off that could build huge confidence for the team going into the second half of season.

#10. CHICAGO BEARS 5-3 (UP 3 SPOTS) Not totally sure at our decision to move the Bears into the top ten as they’ve been on the outside looking in.They have won two in a row. They have beat young quarterbacks this season. They even took care of business against a quarterback that does not even belong in the league. They are done with the AFC east. Now we will see if this team is for real with games in their own division. I love their defense. They played well without Mack in their line up due to injury. With him back in the line up the way he played before missing a few games I see them getting stronger. If this team is going to make it to playoffs they need to start knocking off division opponents and they finally have a chance at that as the Lions are up this weekend. Then Vikings and back to the Lions. Trubisky is getting better each game. He does make mistakes in not hitting the wide open guy. He gets away with a few passes that teams should pick off but they drop the ball. If he can avoid mistakes, this team has a shot at their division title or a wild card berth.

#11. GREEN BAY PACKERS 3-4-1 (UP 3 SPOTS) The cheese heads have been playing much better even though it doesn’t show in the standings. They have played the Patriots and the Rams the last two weeks and have nothing to show for it. Now their schedule gets a tad easier. I expect them to turn things around. First up the Dolphins. Aaron Rodgers is due for a big winning streak and this weekend might be where it starts. Do you put cheese whiz on your fish fry?

#12. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 4-4 (UP UP THREE SPOTS) We have not heard much of the Eagles lately. They went to England and tamed the Jaguars and now have an even record half way through the season. The Eagles have been taking it easy over the bye week hanging out with the usual Witchy women to calm their nerves. In a division that they do not have to feel Desperado about as things are coming together when they looked like they were the New Kid in Town after winning the Superbowl last year. It is time to show their greatest hits album two this second half and secure their division and be top on all the charts when playoffs arrive.

#13.ATLANTA FALCONS 4-4 (UP 3 SPOTS) Even with the bad defense and so many key injuries on that side of the ball, the Falcons have quietly gotten themselves back into the thick of things. After throttling a Washington team last week, that evened their record at 4-4. The Redskins have a great defense and have been playing good football. The Falcons shut down the Redskins offense. We know the Falcons have an explosive offense which seems to be getting better and better each week. The team just added released veteran Bruce Irvin who was cut by the Raiders. Another person’s junk is another person’s treasure. Besides Jon Gruden does not know what he is doing.

#14.WASHINGTON REDSKINS 5-3 (DOWN 5 SPOTS) The Redskins are a roller coaster team. One week they can beat a very solid team. The next week they can be slaughtered by a solid team. Besides Alex Smith and Spanky Peterson, who else is on that offense? The Redskins are in a bad division and seems they are disguising them selves as a winning team. Not buying what they are selling.In the long run they are at best a 500 team.

#15.CAROLINA PANTHERS 5-3 (DOWN 4 SPOTS) When it comes to big games, the Fig Newton actually becomes a cookie. Just on Thursday they played a tough opponent in the Steelers and they got destroyed by Big Ben and company. It shows the Panthers wins have come from other cookies in the cookie jar. Another team which has a fancy wrapper on the outside but nothing special inside. In Lethal Weapon, Roger Murtaugh says all dressed up and nobody to blow. That’s the Carolina Panthers for you in a nutshell.

#16.BALTIMORE RAVENS 4-5 (DOWN 4 SPOTS) Looks like the end for Joe Flacco. The Ravens have suddenly hit a slippery slope and are playing bad. Losses are mounting up. Looks like Joe Flacco’s injury will need surgery. Looks like his worst nightmare is about to happen. It’s the Lamar Jackson show when the Ravens return from their bye week. Joe Flacco has loathed management after they drafted Jackson in the first round.  Flacco even showed he could have passed to Jackson who was wide open on one of those plays they have him come in on the goal line. Instead it was incomplete pass and Ravens settled for field goal.

#17.SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 4-4 (UP 1 SPOT) Seattle coming off a loss to the Chargers last week at home. They fought and crawled their way back in that contest ,but fell short off a tougher opponent like the Chargers. Pete Carol without his Legion of Boom defense has done a pretty good job at keeping this team competitive. The team had troubles with the offensive line earlier in the season and now have fixed their troubles as they’ve been in every game. In tough NFC they probably will not make the playoffs especially with the Rams who should win that division by a mile. Pete Carol, a guy I hate, will keep this team hovering around the 500 mark the rest of the way.

#18 DETROIT LIONS 3-5 (UP 1 SPOT) Felt bad last week moving the Lions down 5 spots. Even though they deserved it. I moved them up one spot because I feel bad for this team.They are like those carnival goldfish that look good in the bag. Then you get home and they die before you get them in the bowl. However they seem like they will not flush immediately down the toilet as they look like it as they go round and round with the water. But then it pops up in the bowl after the flush.The Bears this week should give them the extra flush it take to end the Lions season for good this weekend.

#19.TENNESSEE TITANS 4-4 (UP 3 SPOTS) The Titans probably save their season with a win over the Cowboys on Monday night. Especially now you have to play the Patriots this week. If you lost both games you would of been in a hole you could not get out of. We know the Titans are good in their own division. They moved up because they are threading water until they can feast on their own division to try to get them back in the race.

#20.DALLAS COWBOYS 3-5 (DOWN 3 SPOTS) The Cowboys on the big stage of Monday Night last week could have evened their record at 4-4. Could of really been in the thick of things in their division. They were also at home. The Titans came in and handled the Cowboys with ease. Things are not well for America’s team. First you lost the civil war in Texas earlier to the Texans. Now this team should be stripped of its America’s team badge. This has gone on too long. They need a new President. Jerry Jones needs to butt out of football operations, don’t care if he is the owner. They need to steal Trumps slogan and get it printed on hats Make Dallas better again. Trump might charge you for using his slogan but Jerry Jones has money to wipe his tush with.

#21.INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 3-5 (UP 2 SPOTS) Colts coming off a bye week after they have won two in a row. Andrew Luck is playing like one of the elite quarterbacks in the league as he has his old form back. The defense has done pretty well. Frank Reich has things turned around in his first year as head coach.  They have a match up this week with the Jaguars, a perfect time to kick a team when they are down. Plus to kick a division opponent when they are down is PRICELESS.. Going 4-5 after this weekend and if the Texans come back down to earth, this team could be in the thick of things in their crappy division.

#22.TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS 3-5 (DOWN 2 SPOTS) The Buccaneers are dealing with who’s on first. This is baseball thing. Who is the starting quarterback this week? It could be either Winston or Fitz-magic who got the job back. The defense sucks. Time to abandon ship, let your quarterbacks and defense go down with the boat, and start over.

#23.CLEVELAND BROWNS 2-6-1 (DOWN 2 SPOTS) The Browns are free falling after their stock was on the upswing. They fired their head coach and some of his side kicks. Then the plot of this Cleveland soap opera gets juicy as Hue Jackson reveals all on the E channel. How he wanted to draft Carson Wentz. Oh those Brownies. The Charlie Brownest of all the Browns. They need to get Snoopy in ASAP.

#24. DENVER BRONCOS 3-6 (UP 1 SPOT) Broncos have not been winning but they are a team moving up, not into a deluxe apartment in the sky. Perhaps a small hovel in a middle class neighborhood because beans don’t burn on the grill. They are heading to bye week after playing two tough games between two great teams in the AFC. This is another team stuck in limbo. They have some talent but if they turn things around and get back to winning they will not get a top draft choice. They will end up drafting a Harry Bentley. Great neighbor but not a guy that will help the franchise future.

#25.MIAMI DOLPHINS 5-4 (UP 1 SPOT) Good times at Ridgemont High in Miami. Osweiler is your quarterback and orders a pizza like Spocoli in the meeting room at Dolphin head quarters. You beat the Jets last week. Brock Osweiler is actually looking pretty decent. Plus the Rams loss means no teams remain undefeated  for those old guys from the 1970’s. Is all this actually good or are you stuck in the middle with clowns to the left of you and jokers to the right of you. Osweiler will not net you anything valuable in a trade. Plus the team is ruining its draft status. Dolphins seem like a team that should tear everything down and do a complete make over because they are stuck in the middle.

#26.JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS 3-6 (DOWN TWO SPOTS) Even though the Jag Bags were on bye week their stock fell two spots. No way a bye week will help that quarterback situation. No way it tames the anger in the room on their defense. Good thing no bar fights to report on this week. Bad news is the Colts will probably light them up this Sunday as the team is like a plane going down as it tries to land in a soft spot. The pilots do not see the big mountain because of the dirty windows. A lesson for you always is check the fluid in your car especially window cleaner or you will be in the Jag Bags boat.

#27.NEW YORK JETS  3-6 (SAME) Congrats to the Jets, you are the best team in New York. That statement does not really mean anything. It’s like the coffee mug with best boss on it. In the movie Elf the diner advertises the world’s best cup of coffee. Again nothing exciting. It’s all about developing your young quarterback this season. Plus getting a higher draft pick. However sometimes you need a fun week. With Sam Darnold out with an injury, you will see Josh McCown. Last year the journeyman quarterback did awesome as the Jets won games in a year they wanted to tank games. No matter what you still will get a top pick. May as well enjoy a fun week and see an old wily veteran sling the ball downfield. Plus no worries you do make the best cup of Joe in the state and congrats.

#28.SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS 2-7 (SAME) I’m curious to see what Nick Mullens can do in his second start in the NFL. The 49ers play the Giants this week. The Giants will not instantly make this kid a super star. If he does well. Plays like he did last week . That is huge for a team that lost their number one quarterback for the season. To have two good quarterbacks on your roster is hard to do. Many teams do not even have one good quarterback. They could use Mullens as trade bait next season if he continues to play well. If he plays well keeping him as a cheap insurance policy is a smart idea just in case Jimmy is fragile.

#29. ARIZONA CARDINALS 2-6 (SAME) Arizona heads to Kansas City this week. They will experience and get to see the Chiefs quarterback quarterback Mahomes close up. Perhaps they can get some pointers from Wally the Walrus, the Chiefs head coach, on how to raise a quarterback these days in a tough world. They should get every detail he has to offer from reading Mahomes’ bed time stories. What he put in Mahomes’ formula  to give his play a boost. Josh Rosen is still a bed wetter. It could be the Arizona heat, but it’s a dry heat. Like that makes a total difference… it’s still hot.

#30. NEW YORK GIANTS  1-7 (SAME) The Giants were on bye week dealing with their back up quarterback that broke the law. The bright side of things coming out of the bye, Odell Beckham thinks the Giants can sneak into the playoffs. Depending on if they sign a few free agents to fill in the holes on their roster. I definitely think the San Francisco Giants have a shot at sneaking in and grabbing a wild card next season. Maybe the New York Giants will start off with a win against San Francisco’s other team, the 49ers. Actually the 49ers have an undrafted quarterback who is probably better than Eli Manning. Keep drinking that moonshine kool aid Mr. Beckham.

#31. BUFFALO BILLS 2-7 (SAME)

Nate Peterman collected another defensive player of the week playing quarterback for the Bills. Another stellar performance by the actor from Seinfeld.  Buffalo Bills fans are passing the cup around to help Nate Peterman into early retirement. I will donate to that. You know things are bad when X Buffalo Bills quarterback EJ Manuel is taking shots at your quarterback situation. He’s not playing for a reason. He sucks too…

#32.OAKLAND RAIDERS 1-7 (SAME) Do you think if you combined both the Gruden brothers’ football teams, would they be a playoff team? Raiders and Redskins roster working side by side. You might have a better pass rush just using the guys from the Redskins defense, something Jon has been talking about that his team lacks. Jon Gruden has said his phone has been ringing off the hook on how many people want to play for him when the team goes to Vegas. I guess he has friends in low places where the whisky is rye and there is no such thing as a pass rush. If I was a member of the Black Hole in Oakland hearing Gruden diss you like that. Sounds like the  Raiders are just going through the motions and looking forward to sandy pyramids and slot lights as they leave Oakland in a black cloud of smoke. . Some particular guys might come knocking at your door who have been paying big money for tickets to see crap.

Chucky might not make it to Oakland. What is done in Oakland, stays in Oakland.
