NFL Week 10 Power Rankings
by Al Simmons

The NFL's two unbeatens coming into NFL Week 9 remained that way…barely. Both the Saints and the Colts won games that they could have easily lost again.
The Bucs are no longer win-less as they won their first game of the season against the Packers.
And Larry Johnson is looking for a job, but its hard for an almost-30 year old running back to find gainful employment in the NFL even with a few teams in the playoff hunt who don’t have a strong running game.
But without further adieu here are my NFL Week 10 Power Rankings:
1. New Orleans Saints: 8-0 for the first time in history…can they go 16 and 0?
2. Indianapolis Colts: Peyton Manning is up against his nemesis in the BetUS.com game of the week.
3. Minnesota Vikings: two bye weeks in a row as they face the Lions this weekend.
4. New England Patriots: Brady vs. Manning once again, it doesn’t get any better than this.
5. Cincinnati Bengals: Cedric Benson became the first player to rush for 100-plus yards against the Ravens twice in one season since Jerome Bettis in 1997.
6. Pittsburgh Steelers: they were flying under the radar the last 5 games, the defending champs are back.
7. Dallas Cowboys: I like the Cowboys but I don’t love them just yet.
8. Denver Broncos: Kyle Orton finally showing his true colors.
9. Philadelphia Eagles: Third down conversions hurt the Eagles.
10. Arizona Cardinals: Warner to Fitzgerald, that’s the key for the Cardinals…where is Boldin?
11. San Diego Chargers: Rivers is a better QB than Eli
12. Atlanta Falcons: Michael Turner remembering smash mouth football.
13. Houston Texans: Kris Brown missed FG.
14. Baltimore Ravens: The Ravens scored their fewest points of the season.
15. New York Giants: where is that team we all thought was a contender?
16. New York Jets: after a bye week they’ll face the Jaguars.
17. Green Bay Packers: losing against Tampa? Not acceptable.
18. Chicago Bears: isn’t the Bears D supposed to be their signature?
19. Jacksonville Jaguars: they had too much trouble handling the Chiefs.
20. Miami Dolphins: how can you put rookie cornerback Vontae Davis to cover Randy Moss? You know he is going to make you pay.
21. San Francisco 49ers: Same old Alex Smith.
22. Carolina Panthers: really good effort, just not enough against Brees and the Saints.
23. Buffalo Bills: a bye week may not be enough to handle the rising Titans.
24. Seattle Seahawks: Seattle secondary was huge… against the Lions…
25. Tennessee Titans: the Titans are rolling with Young under center.
26. Oakland Raiders: first weekend where JaMarcus Russel didn’t look so bad, I wonder why that was?
27. Detroit Lions: Does Stafford know he is supposed to throw to the light blue jerseys?
28. Kansas City Chiefs: Chris Chambers caught three passes for 70 yards and two TDs in his Chiefs' debut as Kansas City.
29. St. Louis Rams: the Saints are coming to town. BLOWOUT?
30. Cleveland Browns: its week 10 and Mangini still doesn’t know which QB to start???
31. Washington Redskins: Clinton Portis knocked out of the game with a concussion on a play he doesn’t remember…I bet he wishes he could forget this whole season.
32. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: They finally won a game this season…on the arm of who was listed as the teams 3rd QB at the start of the season.
