K-Mart's NFL Power Rankings- Week 11

  1. New England Patriots (9-0)- Coming off their bye week they have Buffalo, they won't miss a beat from the first half of their season.

  1. Indianapolis Colts (7-2)- Despite Manning's six interceptions and a loss to San Diego, this is still the second best team in the country but...

  2. Green Bay Packers (8-1)- Yes the Packers, not Dallas, are the best team in the NFC, and the way they've been playing, could be the second best team in the league shortly.

  3. Dallas Cowboys (8-1)- They did just beat the New York Football Giants to end their six game winning streak but Dallas' defense definitely needs work

  4. Pittsburgh Steelers (7-2)- The Steelers survived a scare from Cleveland this week, perhaps their defense isn't as dominating as it appeared against Baltimore?

  5. Jacksonville Jaguars (6-3)- They get this spot for their domination of Tennessee on Sunday, but the Jaguars have been a streaky team in years past, this may not last long.

  6. Tennessee Titans (6-3)- Vince Young needs to elevate his game and Albert Haynesworth needs to stay healthy for this team to continue to win. Lendale White has been a nice surprise this year.

  7. New York Giants (6-3)- For the second time this year the Giants have been ripped up by Terrell Owens. But another six game winning streak this year isn't a stretch of the imagination.

  8. Detroit Lions (6-3)- In six wins this year they've outscored opponents 176-95. In three losses they've been outscored 121-45. I see five more losses on their record this year unless their defense improves quickly.

  9. Cleveland Browns (5-4)- They're a missed field goal away from knocking off the team with the best defense in the league. Who needs Brady Quinn when you have Derek Andersen and Braylon Edwards?

  10. San Diego Chargers (5-4) – They escaped with a win over Indianapolis and Norv Turner obviously has no clue what he's doing, but if their defense and special teams keep producing, this team has enough talent on offense for it to wake up and the Chargers to become a scary team again.

  11. Buffalo Bills (5-4)- This may seem like a stretch, but I've been saying all season the Bills are better than their record reflects. A couple last second losses have hurt them, but this is the team that has played Dallas the toughest besides New England.

  12. Washington Redskins (5-4)- Penalties and a blown call cost the Redskins this past weekend. Now they have to pull off a couple of upsets in order to reach the playoffs. They can't keep blowing halftime leads like this.

  13. Seattle Seahawks (5-4)- Shutouts are always nice, but the 49ers offense is probably couldn't put up 20 on Ohio State.

  14. Tampa Bay (5-4)- They're benefiting from being the best team in a bad division. If New Orleans starts winning again, the Buccos won't win the division.

  15. Arizona Cardinals (4-5)- The Cardinals posted a nice win over Detroit Sunday and can continue to turn their season around

  16. Philadelphia Eagles (4-5)- The Eagles played just well enough to win on Sunday. Don't expect them to do much with the rest of their year, even with Miami coming up on Sunday. They still have a four game stretch where they're at New England, home for Seattle and the Giants, then at Dallas. Ten, even eleven losses is not out of the picture this season.

  17. Houston Texans (4-5)- This is a season of missed opportunity for the Texans. They've had close losses to Tennessee and Indy. And then losses that leave you scratching your head like the one to Atlanta. Their schedule is not getting any easier.

  18. New Orleans (4-5)- A loss to previously winless St. Louis is not the way you want to end a four game winning streak.

  19. Minnesota Vikings (3-6)- Adrian Peterson makes any anemic offense good. Hopefully he gets back fast from that injury.

  20. Denver Broncos (4-5)- This team needs some answers and fast. Even though they won last week, they've been struggling along since last November.

  21. Kansas City Chiefs (4-5)- How do you lose at home to Denver the week after they get blown out by Detroit? And why did they stop throwing to Dwayne Bowe?

  22. Carolina Panthers (4-5)- Their quarterback carousel is definitely not helping this team this year. Some continuity would be nice.

  23. Baltimore Ravens (4-5)- They can't control the clock if they don't run the ball. They have Willis McGahee, passing more than running makes no sense.

  24. Chicago Bears (4-5)- The Sex Cannon returns and leads the Bears to a win. What? It's ok, he's just fooling Bears fans again. He's good at that.

  25. Cincinnati Bengals (3-6)- Carson Palmer and his receiving corps are too good for this team to be 3-6.

  26. Atlanta Falcons (3-6)- Bobby Petrino is counting down the days until he can draft Brian Brohm.

  27. Oakland Raiders (2-7)- Another bad year in Oakland. Why isn't Jamarcus Russell starting yet?

  28. St. Louis Rams (1-8)- Sunday they showed that they can, in fact, play like the team many people thought they would be this year.

  29. New York Jets (1-8)- So I guess Kellen Clemens isn't the answer to their problems. I'm not sure there is an answer.

  30. San Francisco 49ers (2-7)- It's possible that they will finish last in the league this year. Well at least they'll have the #1 draft pick this year... oh wait, that would go to New England. Please, please, please turn your year around.

  31. Miami Dolphins (0-9)- Sooner or later Miami is going to have to figure out how to win a close game.
