Week 6 wrapped up this evening, with the New York Football Giants (which hasn’t needed to be specified in almost 50 years) defeating the Falcons. After I put my original ranks up after week 2, Ryan commented that the Giants should be proud of themselves for cracking the top 25. How things have changed. After 4 straight impressive wins, the Giants sit on top of the NFC ranks, #5 overall. With Vinny Testeverde at QB, its hard to believe the Panthers beat the supposedly “red-hot” Cardinals this week. Can you believe they are 4-2? The computerized power ranks are having a hard time believing too, putting them at #12, just ahead of the 2-3 Eagles. New England took over the #2 spot by knocking off former #2, Dallas. The talk is starting now if this team can go 16-0, but they still sit behind the Colts in my ranks due to how horrible their division is. This possible “problem” with the rankings could be resolved in Indianapolis in a few weeks though. For now, I’m not buying into the talk of the Patriots possibly going 16-0, but instead I’m wondering why no one is talking about the more realistic chance of the Dolphins and/or Rams going 0-16. The Dolphins have an atrocious defense and an offense led by Cleo Lemon. The Rams are loaded with injuries and would have a hard time scoring on a high school team….so much for the “Greatest Show on Turf.” The Ewes are now the bottom feeders of the NFL after a listless performance against Matt Stover….err..I mean Baltimore. We have another big matchup coming this weekend with the #1 Colts taking on the #3 Jaguars. So far this season, we’ve already had a 1-2, a 2-3, and a 1-3, so we’ll see if that continues.
