NFL
Power Rankings for Week 8 of the 2009 season. Each week our team of football
experts will pass judgment on each NFL team and rank them accordingly.
There are now only 3 undefeated teams left as the Saints came back to beat the
Dolphins in
week 7. Reggie Bush says that the Saints are going undefeated this season so
maybe the Saints should have the #1 spot in the rankings. However, we feel that
the Colts are the best team right now. Of the remaining undefeated teams, the
Broncos have the toughest match up as they travel to Baltimore to play the
Ravens.
Teams on the RISE: Texans, Cardinals
Teams on the FALL: Falcons, Bears
We have added a new column to our power rankings table. It is called "Record
Should Be" and it represents what the team's record should probably be had it
not been for some fluke play or a really bad officiating call (i.e. Ed Hochuli
in last year's Chargers / Broncos game). |

* Patriots score twice in final two minutes to pull one out. They
recovered a fumble on the kickoff return.
* Broncos score a 87 yard touchdown on a deflected pass with just 11 seconds
left in the game.
* Dolphins control time of possession for 45 minutes and still lose to the Colts
* Brett Favre throws a 32 yard strike with 2 seconds left to beat the 49ers.
* The Vikings hold on after the Ravens miss a last second FG from 44 yards.
* You shouldn't lose when you rush for over 300 yards and dominate the line
of scrimmage like the Jets did.
