The top 5 stayed exactly the same this week for the first time all season, and 2 huge matchups are now set for this week. The #2 Packers will take on the #3 Cowboys and the #4 Colts will face the #5 Jaguars. Overall this was a pretty uneventful week as far as the ratings are concerned. The biggest gainers this week, jumping 5 spots each, were the Vikings, who destroyed the Giants and jumped all the way up to 11th at only 5-6; the Bears, who got an important win over Denver to stay in the playoff race; the Bengals, who inexplicably destroyed the Titans all while finally showing some life on defense; and the Raiders, who got their 3rd win of the season and leapfrogged a bunch of slumping teams, including their victims, the Chiefs. The biggest losers this week were the Titans, who are suddenly fading fast in the playoff hunt, the Bills, who have suffered 2 beatdowns since being ranked 10th, and the Chiefs, who have lost 4 straight, are now ranked 29th, but are still only 2 games out 1st place. Its a good thing for the state of Missouri their Tigers are ranked #1 in the BCS, because their NFL teams are 28 and 29 now. Here are the ranks:
