Power Ballad

After an exciting Week 10, here is where they stand:

1. Tennessee Titans: Taking care of the NFC North this year. They surely will not go undefeated.
2. New York Giants: Who will beat the Giants? They are extremely balanced.
3. Carolina Panthers: Not an impressive win against the terrible Raiders. 7-2 is a nice record though, and they are on the way to a playoff berth.
4. Pittsburgh Steelers: I can't shake the feeling that this team just needs to get into the playoffs, and then they can really do some damage. The Ravens are sneaking up.
5. New England Patriots: They refuse to lose in consecutive games. They are far realer than the Jets and Dolphins.

16. Chicago Bears: Can they hold off the Packers are create a little bit of separation? Probably not with Rex Grossman.
17. Minnesota Vikings: The defense is starting to come on, though the big plays have disappeared. They once were a threat to score on returns every other game.
20. Green Bay Packers: Rough, confusing loss. They are still right in it, especially with a win against Chicago.

28. St. Louis Rams: A week after the Raiders played the worst game of any team this year, Rams one-up them.
29. Cincinnati Bengals: No longer the best 1-8 team, now that Kansas City has joined them.
30. Seattle Seahawks: Nice effort, but you can't rest your hopes on Koren Robinson. 
31. Oakland Raiders: Jake Delhomme was awful, and yet the Raiders lose by double digits. Oof.
32. Detroit Lions

Michael Silver still has the most NFC North respect, though he dropped the Packers nine spots.
