Power Rankings

By Nick Ferraro 1.  New York Giants The Giants move into the top spot while resting comfortably on their bye week.  The drama with Plaxico Burress makes things a bit less comfortable than they should be.  They are a different team if he’s not in the lineup. 2.  Tennessee Titans The Titans are solid in… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  Dallas Cowboys There’s no change at the top as Dallas handled one of their most powerful challengers in their own building. 2.  New York Giants The Giants sleepwalked their way to a close win over the fading Bengals.  It was less than impressive except for the fact that they are capable… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  Dallas Cowboys It wasn’t a stellar showing on defense, but the Cowboys got by a tough division opponent.  They can step out in front in the NFC this week by beating the Packers. 2.  New York Giants The defending champs have yet to be challenged.  They figure to get by easily… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1. Dallas Cowboys The Cowboys were impressive on the road against a quality opponent. It was a nice ramp-up for Monday’s tilt with the Eagles. There were some protection issues, but the ‘Boys showed very few weaknesses overall. 2. New York Giants The offense sputtered after the first half, but the defense… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1. New England Patriots Spygate and a drug bust have complicated the offseason, but this is still the league’s most talented team.  Another AFC East crown is a given, but that will do little to cure the hangover the Pats have from last season.  It will be about finishing in the post-season. … Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  New York Giants All hail the Giants.  A pass rush is a beautiful thing – just ask Tom Brady.  Amazing that they could get done it all done without Shockey and Tiki.  Okay, maybe it’s not that amazing. To stay on top: They can upgrade on the OL.  They need a… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  New England Patriots Support groups are forming now to deal with the “Perfect Patriots”.  The Giant’s run game and pass rush gives us all some hope.  That’s assuming the Giants care to play the game. 2.  Indianapolis Colts The Colts continue to motor along.  They know these wins are meaningless unless… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  New England Patriots Just the Dolphins and Giants stand in the way of history now.

It’s giving their wounded time to heal while not sacrificing their playoff seed. 3.  Dallas… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  New England Patriots* If we begin preparing ourselves now, it will be easier to deal with all the “best team ever” talk that’s soon to begin. 2.  Dallas Cowboys Tony Romo’s legend is growing. The Cowboys are good enough to win when they’re not at their best. 3.  Indianapolis Colts The… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  New England Patriots Another close one, but the Pats remain unbeaten.  You have to admit that somewhere deep down you knew it was coming even as the Ravens had the lead late in the fourth quarter. 2.  Dallas Cowboys The road to the Super Bowl in the NFC is going through… Read more

By Nick Ferraro 1.  New England Patriots The tight one against Philly may do a lot to help them roll through the rest of the schedule.  It’s getting harder to imagine them losing one with Pittsburgh and the Giants left as the only winning teams on the schedule. 2.  Dallas Cowboys The Packers will give… Read more
