Jeremy's Power Five

This week's edition of Jeremy's Power Five has a few changes. For starters, my beloved Colts lost their first game of the season. It was bound to happen, and I'm glad it happened now...so they can pick up momentum going into the post season. The Broncos also lost at home, almost knocking them off the list completely...but I hate the Pats...so they made it.

Number Five: The Denver Broncos - They beat out the Pats because they beat them earlier in the season...and because I hate them :-)

Number Four: The San Diego Chargers - Well, now they are winning some meaningful games and have some momentum. However, if they are like the Chargers of old, they will lose down the stretch throwing off everyone who jumped on their bandwagon.

Number Three: The Baltimore Ravens - Almost a lock for the playoffs. The Bengals just have a much harder schedule. The Ravens have a clear shot into the post season...as long as they don't lose easy games.

Number Two: The Indianapolis Colts - Their weakness is still their defense. Fourteen fourth quarter points is unacceptable. It would help if Bob Sanders could stay healthy and Freeney could start sacking again.

Number One: Da Bears - Back on top this week with a Colts loss, but their offense still isn't very good. All the defense has to do is pressure Grossman and he freaks out. All of their close games (and one loss) came because Grossman was pressured early.

Well, hope you all enjoyed. Have a happy Thanksgiving. We're going to West Virginia this year. It is simply too much to travel to Bluffton with all the moving and traveling we've been doing lately. And this will be our first Thanksgiving at Jess' mother's. We're looking forward to it.

What do 30+ points per game and good, turnover forcing defense equal??? The BENGALS against the Saints last week. Nobody gave them a shot to win that game, just like you don't give them a shot to win very many more games, but if they can play like they did last week (both offensively and defensively), they may just prove everybody wrong. Remember, oh football-scholar friend of mine, the season is a marathon (mini-marathon compared to baseball's season) and a lot can happen in the final laps. I guess we'll just have to see.

Oh yeah, I also predict the Colts will have at least one more loss this season--to the Bengals. You would crap in your pants if that happened. Just remember to wear your Depends on that Sunday.
