2008 Power Rankings: Week 10
RK (LW) TEAM REC COMMENT
1 (1) Titans 8-0-0 Outplayed for a good while by Green Bay, the Titans didn't flinch and found a way to win, making it to the halfway point of the season undefeated. (PK)
2 (2) Giants 7-1-0 They didn't play that well on offense -- and still killed the Cowboys. A showdown with the Eagles looms. (MM)
3 (4) Steelers 6-2-0 The Steelers finally proved they can beat an NFC East team this season. (JW)
4 (3) Panthers 6-2-0 Healthy and rested coming off the bye. Oh, the picture gets even brighter. The Panthers start the second half of the season with Oakland and Detroit. (PY)
5 (5) Redskins 6-3-0 Jason Campbell's no-interceptions streak met its demise in the face of a brutal Pittsburgh defense. The Cowboys are coming to town after their bye. (MM)
6 (10) Eagles 5-3-0 The Eagles' defense feasted on Seneca Wallace after a shaky start. Donovan McNabb can't afford to have another awful start. (MM)
7 (9) Buccaneers 6-3-0 Avoided disaster in Kansas City. They get a bye week to try to find their offense. (PY)
8 (13) Cardinals 5-3-0 Despite a big day from Tim Hightower, the Cardinals left lots of yards on the field. (MS)
9 (12) Bears 5-3-0 The Bears face a huge question: Can Rex Grossman keep them in first place until Kyle Orton returns? (KS)
10 (16) Falcons 5-3-0 Coming off a shutout of Oakland, the Falcons will be shooting for their first NFC South win of the season when the Saints visit Sunday. (PY)
11 (19) Jets 5-3-0 The Jets have won four of their past five games and are 2-1 against the AFC East. (TG)
12 (7) Patriots 5-3-0 The injury-riddled Patriots were a play or two from beating the Colts in Indianapolis. Despite criticism from that loss, Bill Belichick might be doing the best coaching of his career. (TG)
13 (14) Ravens 5-3-0 Behind rookies Joe Flacco and Ray Rice, the Ravens have discovered an offense. Uh-oh! (JW)
14 (6) Bills 5-3-0 Everything we thought about the 4-0 and 5-1 Bills is in doubt. They are winless in their division and have dropped three of their past four. (TG)
15 (18) Colts 4-4-0 The Colts deserve credit for their win over New England but played a super-careful style that was hardly captivating. Do they now get to face Byron Leftwich instead of Ben Roethlisberger? (PK)
16 (11) Packers 4-4-0 The Packers have a key two-game stretch against Minnesota and Chicago that could decide their season. (KS)
17 (24) Dolphins 4-4-0 The Dolphins have a couple of ugly losses, but they are 2-1 in the AFC East and are one fluke Brett Favre touchdown pass from being undefeated in the division. (TG)
18 (17) Saints 4-4-0 Survived the London trip and bad luck in the first half of the season. Now, the Saints have to make their move. (PY)
19 (8) Cowboys 5-4-0 Tony Romo will try to breathe life into the fading Cowboys after their bye. A loss to the Redskins on Nov. 16 would be a big blow. (MM)
20 (23) Vikings 4-4-0 Can the Vikings beat the Packers for the first time in the Brad Childress era? (KS)
21 (21) Chargers 3-5-0 The Chargers had a great bye week. They are the only AFC West team not to lose Sunday. (BW)
22 (15) Broncos 4-4-0 The Broncos are trying to figure out what went wrong. But they don't have much time. They have to play Thursday night in Cleveland. (BW)
23 (20) Jaguars 3-5-0 When they were 3-3, those who picked them for the Super Bowl still could map out a big season. It's not nearly as easy now after a terrible two weeks. (PK)
24 (22) Browns 3-5-0 No time to sulk after a tough loss. The Browns take the field again Thursday against Denver. (JW)
25 (25) Texans 3-5-0 No sustainability. The Texans followed a three-game win streak with another road dud. Now they are without Matt Schaub for at least two weeks because of a knee injury. (PK)
26 (26) Rams 2-6-0 Steven Jackson's thigh injury is dragging down Marc Bulger and the Rams' offense. (MS)
27 (27) Seahawks 2-6-0 This is shaping up as the worst season of Mike Holmgren's coaching career. (MS)
28 (29) 49ers 2-6-0 The switch to Shaun Hill at quarterback should reduce turnovers, but protection still is an issue. (MS)
29 (31) Bengals 1-8-0 The Bengals aren't the worst team in the NFL after all. (JW)
30 (28) Raiders 2-6-0 The Raiders have a lot more to worry about than reaching the end zone. They have to move the chains. Oakland had three first downs in its shutout loss to the Falcons. (BW)
31 (30) Chiefs 1-7-0 Next step for the Chiefs: winning. They did everything but win in the past two weeks. They've played hard, but it hasn't been enough. (BW)
32 (32) Lions 0-8-0 The Lions have made some progress under Dan Orlovsky. But it looks like it's Daunte Culpepper time. (KS)

Surprised me that I didn't see this yet.

 

[Dice-J]

Don't like Jets being infront of Pats

 

[Giantmetfan07]

I dont either, but it's just too hard to tell, seing that they are even. One team lost Future HoF QB, dropped off the map. Other Gained one, came back onto the map. Very hard to tell. My breakdown is simple. Jets are on a hot streak, and the Patriots remained tied for first in a game that came down to the wire.

 

[.GR]

I am still amazed with how well the Steelers are doing this year with the injuries and strength of schedule.
I was the only one on the site besides I think JH5 who picked them to win the division.
Props to Mike Tomlin.

 

[Giantmetfan07]

Ya Tomlin's doing a great job, and I think at his point in the season he would be the Coach of the Mid-Year. Im pushin for him to get Coach of year.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Naw, who would have thought the Falcons and Bills would be where there at right now. Even the Cardinals...

 

[DC4]

Miami to win the AFC East!!!!!!!!!!! *Hopefully*

 

[Giantmetfan07]

now THAT is something no one predicted this year. That, what is it? "Wildcat" offense they've got going? Some great stuff, and really I think it's Brown that's made the big difference.

Good team there, but it's such a tough division I really dont think they can pull it off.

 

[Hoffa]

I agree with them. LOL at the Cowboys!

 

[Giantmetfan07]

one of my friends (a jets fan) is serious when he says that the Cowboys are going to finish with a 7 game win streak, make the playoffs, and win the Super Bowl. HAHAHAH!!!

I was thinking the same. But I'm having 2nd thoughts and I stepped in to the reality to realize that is really hard to even believe it could happen.

 

[.s31t]

Thats an 10 to 11 game win streak... right?

 

[Hoffa]

Thats an 10 to 11 game win streak... right?

Let's just put it like this, the streak just keeps on going until they don't win the SuperBowl lol. Which I doubt it happens as of right now, but if they dominate the Redskins next week then I might think different.

 

[PhillyFan]

i feel as though the redskins will falter and leave the eagles to win the division

if we want a chance we must beat the giants

 

[Giantmetfan07]

yes, but you dont realize that the Skins, AND the Giants are ahead of them. Eagles and Skins will get the Wild Card, andthe Giants might actually get a game off.

Let's put it this way, at least 2 teams will make it from the NFC East. Very possible that like always, 3 teams will make it form the NFC East.

And lastly, whoever wins the NFC East, will probably get that Wild Card weekend off. In fact, dont be surprised if 2, possibly 3 teams from that division finish with 10+ wins.
