Mark's Week 5 Power Rankings

1. Patriots (1) - Randy Moss and Adalius Thomas are worth every dollar. Especially Moss. They may go down as the greatest tandem offseason pickup.
2. Colts (2) - They are still looking mortal. And injuries to Harrison, Adai, and Sanders are crucial.
3. Cowboys (3) - Still haven't faced strong opponents. Romo is quickly becoming the poor man's Tom Brady.
4. Packers (3) - Relying heavily on Favre and the passing game. Will it work in December in Lambeau?
5. Titans (5) - Who could forget them?
6. Steelers (4) - Loss to the Cardinals was almost to be expected. It's tough to punish them for it, but has Whiz provided a defensive blueprint for stopping them?
7. Lions (18) - Can Kitna's arm hold up?
8. Seahawks (8) - Is there suddenly more depth in the NFC?
9. Bucs (14) - Yes, there is.
10. Jaguars (10) -
11. Ravens (6) - #11 on the road, #6 at home.
12. Browns (24) - Jamal didn't get a lot of yards, but he earned them all and is showing this team how winners play. Derek Anderson is a good QB.
13. Chargers (9) - How low will they go? Just like the Ravens, the pass rush has vanished.
14. Redskins (19) - Good time for a bye week. Lions are going to give them a run.
15. Bears (11) - This hole is getting deep. They're looking up at the Lions and Packers
16. Texans (12) - Nate called it. Sort of. Injuries are going to show. But this team is building a core.
17. Bengals (15) - On the verge of a total collapse. They still have enough firepower to win 7 or 8 games.
18. Cardinals (20) - The platoon will work. Leinart came in in the fourth and looked sharp. Mike Tomlin isn't a bad coach and will have a lot of success, but the Cardinals lucked out landing these guys.
19. Chiefs (29) - Somehow they're winning. Beats me.
20. Broncos (17) - I have absolutely no read on the Broncos/Chargers game this week.
21. Giants (23) - All those sacks and they still only won 16-3. Hmmm
22. Panthers (13) - Bring on Carr...
23. Vikings (25) - Adrian Peterson stays healthy and he's a lock for Rookie of the Year
24. Jets (22) - They're fighting, but they need talent
25. Raiders (26) - I had hoped that sometime during the last year, Culpepper would have dropped that stupid rolling thing
26. Niners (21) - Dilfer's a week late for grudge week
27. Falcons (32) - I bet they're rethinking the panicked Leftwich signing
28. Eagles (16) - One good week means nothing. They're just not good. Get ready for Kolb in 2008
29. Dolpins (31) - Where is Snowflake when you need him?
30. Saints (28) - I'm ready to see Bush try and carry the load. No more of these "diversion" techniques
31. Bills (27) - Fighting for last place
32. Rams (30) -Bulger is the new Kurt Warner (again)
