NFL Power Rankings Week 4

It's nearly unrecognizable from when it started. But JMO:JTF is about the facts, not about trying to look like a preseason prophet! Here are your top 10:

1)New England (4-0) Last week: 1

Dominating the league by scoring an average of 37 points per game, out scoring your opponents by an average of 25 points per game, and holding the highest net points at +100! The real tests are coming up next week at #2 Dallas and two weeks from now in the dreaded dome of #4 Indy! If you start 6-0 people will begin to speculate about a perfect season.

2)Dallas (4-0) Last week: 2

Powerhouse of the NFC! TO looks like a new man (except for the same old celebrations) Romo looks like a mobile Aikman and your D continues to stop explosive offenses. What a great match up this week as you take on NE at home!

3)Indianapolis (4-0) Last week: 3

Still not looking like the Indy of old. Looking more like the Patriots of the past, doing just enough to win. It served NE well, but can you keep it up?

4)Green Bay (4-0) Last week: 4

I've learned my lesson: never doubt your elders. I ragged on Favre because of his age, saying he should have retired two years ago. Now that he holds the career marks for wins and TD passes, I understand why he didn't. And it's looking like it wasn't entirely selfish. The Packers are off to a perfect start as they've sent every opponent packing! No one is more surprised than I am!

5)Seattle (3-1) Last week: 9

You finally beat a semi respectable team! Sending the 49ers packing got you a spot in the top 5. Can that Campbell's soup carry Hasselbeck through the rest of the season?

6)Pittsburgh (3-1) Last week: 5

Now the true colors start shining through. A loss to Arizona doesn't look very good on your resume. With the schedule you've had you should easily be 4-0. The 3-1 start has you out of the top 5.

7)Detroit (3-1) Last week: off

I'm a touch reluctant to add you to the list after you got slammed by Philly last week. However, with an impressive win over a preseason favorite (and current season dud) Chicago has you joining the power rankings.

8)Tennessee (2-1) Last week: 8

You can't climb on a bye week, and you can't drop unless another team truly surprises my socks off. Didn't happen and so here you stay at number 8.

9)Jacksonville (2-1) Last week: 9

See my thoughts on #8 Tennessee. The only reason you're at 9 and they're at 8 is they beat you.

10)New York Giants (2-2) Last week: 10

So Umenyiora beat the Eagles. I guess that makes your record 1-2 & Umenyiora 1-0. Hey McNabb, try putting a running back on your left, or a tight end, or double team him! How difficult can it be. Coaches always talk about adjusting so they don't lose more ground. I guess Philly uh just wanted their QB on the ground! Eli, you failed to take full advantage of the myriad of opportunities you were given! Hence your 16-3 win over Philly keeps you at 10!

Notable removals: Houston: Losing to Atlanta you look like the Texans of old. Remember the Alamo? You lost there, too. I don't have a ton of faith in you, so it'll take some key wins to stay on the list. You're gonna have to sit this one out.
