Jeremy's Power Rankings

Well, its a typical season. All of the favorites are sucking it up. My top five was shaken pretty hard this week. The Chargers look like they can't score a touchdown to save their lives. The Bengals look like they can't stop a touchdown to save their lives. And the Seahawks just looked plain jane. So, this week I'm doing my power surprises. Indy and the Pats look untouchable, and here are five surprises for the year. By the way, check out espn's rankings this week...they still have the Ravens, Bears, and Chargers in their top 10. On to the surprise 2-0's so far...remember there is a lot of football yet to be played...

1. San Fran 49ers - I was a big fan of the niners until they did Jerry Rice wrong. Then I jumped on the Manning bandwagon...call me what you will :-). Anyways, their defense looks good, Gore looks great, and Alex Smith is limiting his mistakes. Basically, they look like a mini-steelers team...

2. Houston Texans - I really didn't think Matt Schaub would make that much of a difference, but he really has done great. I like how they have rebuilt their team...this is the best start they have ever had!

3. Detroit Lions - Jon Kitna is the bomb! Great job Detroit of going from the laughing stock of the NFL to being 2-0...no one predicted this...oh wait! John Kitna did.

4. Pittsburg Steelers - They did nothing to improve their team and have a new coach...this is a big surprise that they are 2-0 and winning in convincing fashion.

5. Green Bay Packers - Their defense has looked great and Brett Favre looks like he lost 5 years. If they only had a good running game...but they are in the NFC...so they'll probably make the playoffs.

Here's a quick rundown of my power five...1. Indy 2. Pats 3. Dallas 4. Steelers 5. Denver. Probably will change again next week...we'll see...
