October 9, 2009 – Dr. Hut Hut Hike

A weekly peek at the NFL from top to bottom.

NFL Power Rankings

1

New Orlean Saints
Last Week: 1

New Orleans Saints

The defense had 4 sacks, 3 interceptions, 1 forced fumble and 2 touchdowns. Not bad for an offensive powerhouse. They get the bye week to prepare for the Giants in week 6.

2

New York Giants
Last Week: 2

New York Giants

Kansas City one week, Oakland the next. Then the true test with New Orleans.

3

Indianapolis Colts
Last Week: 3

Indianapolis Colts

Took care of a pathetic Seahawks team. Now they get a scary match up with the underachieving Titans.

4

Minnesota Vikings
Last Week: 5

Minnesota Vikings

Made a statement on Monday night. One slip up by the Colts from moving up another spot this week.

5

Denver Broncos
Last Week: 7

Denver Broncos

Defense looks really good. Team can make a real statement this week with a win over New England.

6

New England Patriots
Last Week: 8

New England Patriots

Big win over the Ravens last week. Look for Brady and Moss to start clicking.

7

Baltimore Ravens
Last Week: 4

Baltimore Ravens

Gave the Pats everything they wanted. Can separate themselves from the rest of the AFC North this week with a win over the Bengals.

8

Philadelphia Eagles
Last Week: 9

Philadelphia Eagles

Coming off a bye week they get the Bucs. Perfect scenario for Donovan’s return.

9

Cincinnati Bengals
Last Week: 11

Cincinnati Bengals

Seem to do just enough to win every week. Already have wins against AFC North foes Pittsburgh and Cleveland, this week they get Baltimore.

10

Atlanta Falcons
Last Week: 10

Atlanta Falcons

Had a week to lick their wounds after the L in New England. Next up, a feisty ‘Niners squad.

11

New York Jets
Last Week: 6

New York Jets

Mark Sanchez looked like a rookie for the first time. Need a big win on Monday night to get that excitement back.

12

San Francisco 49ers
Last Week: 14

San Fransisco 49ers

35-0 is impressive no matter who you play in the NFL. Big game this week with Atlanta coming to town.

13

Chicago Bears
Last Week: 16

Chicago Bears

Head into the bye week 3-1. Cutler had 18 completions to 9 different targets.

14

Pittsburgh Steelers
Last Week: 17

Pittsburgh Steelers

Dominated the Bolts for 3 quarters, then tried to find a way to give it away. Already lost to the Bengals in the 4th quarter this year, need to watch the late game meltdowns.

15

Green Bay Packers
Last Week: 13

Green Bay Packers

Did anyone really think Brett was going to lose to Green Bay? They get a week to regroup for the lowly Lions.

16

Dallas Cowboys
Last Week: 12

Dallas Cowboys

Struggled against a tough Denver defense. A trip to Arrowhead could be just what they need to get back in the win column.

17

Jacksonville Jaguars
Last Week: 18

Jacksonville Jaguars

Look to win 3 in a row in Seattle this week. Sims-Walker is making some names for himself.

18

Houston Texans
Last Week: 20

Houston Texans

Explosive skill position players. Look to get over .500 in the desert.

19

San Diego Chargers
Last Week: 15

San Diego Chargers

A lot of work to do in the bye week. It was too little too late on Monday night, but we need to see the offense rolling like it was in the 4th quarter.

20

Miami Dolphins
Last Week: 26

Miami Dolphins

Henne gets a W in his first start. Ronnie and Ricky are running wild.

21

Washington Redskins
Last Week:24

Washington Redskins

2-2 record gets them back in front of the Lions in the rankings.

22

Arizona Cardinals
Last Week:19

Arizona Cardinals

Need a win over the Texans Sunday to get on track and stay in contention.

23

Seattle Seahawks
Last Week: 22

Seattle Seahawks

Defense is terrible. Really need a healthy Hasselbeck to compete.

24

Buffalo Bills
Last Week:21

Buffalo Bills

Lynch didn’t look so great in his first game back from suspension. 3 completions to TO is a move in the right direction.

25

Detroit Lions
Last Week:23

Detroit Lions

The streak ends at 1, but they scored 24 points which is a good sign for the offense.

26

Tennessee Titans
Last Week:25

Tennessee Titans

13-3 last year, ranked behind the Lions this year. I’ve been asking for a Vince Young package for weeks.

27

Carolina Panthers
Last Week: 27

Carolina Panthers

Hopefully the passing game shows some life coming out of the bye.

28

Oakland Raiders
Last Week:22

Oakland Raiders

173 yards of total offense won’t win many games.

29

Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Last Week:30

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Scoring 13 points moves them up 1 spot. The defense looked good for 3 of 4 quarters.

30

St. Louis Rams
Last Week:29

St. Louis Rams

Being shut out 35-0 is not pretty.

31

Kansas City Chiefs
Last Week:28

Kansas City Chiefs

It’s about time to start handing the ball to Jamaal Charles, not Larry Johnson.

32

Cleveland Browns
Last Week: 31

Cleveland Browns

Shipping Edwards out was long overdue. This team is best in the league at one thing….blocking field goals.

    I disagree with the Browns being dead last. I’d say they atleast show more signs of life than St. Louis and Kansas City, and even Oakland for that matter. They atleast made it a close game against Cinci (who u have ranked 9th), what have any of the other bottom 5 done to prove they deserve to be ranked ahead?
