Doug’s NFL Power Poll - Week 8

1. COLTS:

Keep in mind, the Jaguars were built specifically to beat Indy—final score: 29-7 (Why are they ahead of the Patriots you ask? Colts opponents are 20-18, Patriots are 17-28)

2.PATRIOTS:

Brady = 6 TD passes, 4 incompletions v. Miami (pace=62)

3. COWBOYS:

You’ve got Owens going deep (103 yards) and Whitten always open (10 rec) and Barber getting 96 yards—I don’t care it was the Vikings

 

4. PACKERS:

Next two opponents are on the road which means 0-2 but they’re against the AFC West which means 2-0—I say they split

 

5. GIANTS:

I predicted a 6-game winning streak and now only MIA stands in their way—more like lays in their way

6. CHARGERS:

Didn’t play and lost ground to the Chiefs

 

7. STEELERS:

If you want to play with the big boys (Indy/Pats) you win in Denver

 

8. TITANS:

Good wake-up call to give up 29 4th quarter points and still win

 

9. JAGUARS:

Not ready for prime-time players (next three opponents are all moving up the poll and all play JAX at home)

 

10. REDSKINS:

An average team that just keeps winning

11. PANTHERS:

Needed the bye week because they’ve got one win coming between now and Thanksgiving

12. CHIEFS:

This team is bad and in first place (yea, I wrote this last week, nothing’s changed)

 

13. LIONS:

They can’t win on the road and the Bears are bad (you won’t get me to pick this game next week)

14. RAVENS: 308 yards of offense – 1 turnover = 14 points?

 

15. CARDINALS: Lead the league in shoulda, woulda, coulda’s

16. BUCS: 0-1 in the three game test, Jags and Cards are next

 

 

17. SEAHAWKS: I don’t care that you beat the Rams, I’m still stuck on the Saints loss

18. BRONCOS: I’m legitimately shocked they won

 

19. BEARS: How good is Hester? Eagles averaged 28 yards per punt trying to keep the ball from him

 

20. BROWNS: They might be favored on the road this week—is the apocalypse near?

 

 

21. TEXANS: Do they take confidence in scoring 29 4th quarter points or do they fall apart with the comeback ending in a loss?

 

 

22. SAINTS: What would you say to me if I said the Saints might win 10 games? (check the schedule)

23. BENGALS: No credit for beating the Jets, take Pittsburgh down and I’ll pay attention

24. VIKINGS: Jackson completed 6 more passes than I did

 

 

25. BILLS: Beat the Ravens and have NYJ, CINCY, and MIA next—could you imagine Buffalo above .500 (I can’t either)

26. EAGLES: Couldn’t stop Brian Griese from completing a 97 yard drive—should be forced to forfeit next week as punishment

27. 49ERS: Don’t worry, going to ATL in two weeks

28. RAIDERS: Had the best chance to win a divisional game in three years and they couldn’t do it

 

29. JETS: How did upsetting the Patriots work out for you? (and I don’t mean winning, I mean making them mad)

 

30. FALCONS: Two questions–how did Houston lose to this team? (and) who is your QB?

 

 

31. DOLPHINS: Moving up the poll

 

 

32. RAMS: If you didn’t know what the salary cap does to depth, I present St. Louis
