1. Indianapolis (5-0; unchanged): Alone in perfection, the Colts aren't likely to have a warm Monday Night Football reception for Rams interim coach Joe Vitt.
2. Denver (4-1; 7): The Broncos had just enough to hold off the Redskins, but can their rebuilt defense handle Tom Brady?
3. New England (3-2; 9): Tom Brady's ability to carry this banged-up team on his right arm is amazing.
4. Pittsburgh (3-1; unchanged): Winning in San Diego was huge, but the price (losing Ben Roethlisberger to a knee injury) could be larger.
5. Cincinnati (4-1; unchanged): The Bengals have tripped, but they haven't fallen.
6. Tampa Bay (4-1; 2): The Buccaneers need to find their offensive rhythm.
7. Jacksonville (3-2; unranked): Fred Taylor will need to be every bit as effective rushing against the Steelers as he was against the Bengals.
8. Atlanta (3-2; 6): With or without Michael Vick, the Falcons should get back on the winning track against New Orleans.
9. Philadelphia (3-2; 3): After a draining win in Kansas City and a lopsided loss in Dallas, the timing couldn't be better for some rest and reflection.
10. N.Y. Giants (3-1; unchanged): With his red-hot arm rested, Eli Manning gets to see if he can succeed where Donovan McNabb couldn't against the Cowboys defense.
11. Washington (3-1; 8): The Redskins hope to continue the trend of Kansas City opponents exposing the Chiefs defense.
12. Dallas (3-2; unranked): Fortunately for the Cowboys, their fury isn't limited to sideline spats between Drew Bledsoe and Keyshawn Johnson.

Here's another power ranking, courtesy of ESPN.
Watch for the Boyz to move up next week after they defeat the Giants.....
Another power poll, courtesy of CBS Sportsline.
And next week, the Jints should be sitting in the top ten. Sorry Boys', the G-Men shall win.
Mad Mike is out for several weeks.
Sorry for the double post. ESPN has Cincy 7 spots ahead of the team they juat lost to, the Jags. That doesn't make sense, but who thought we'd see the Bengals at 4-1?
Be interesting to see if the Dolts are real or memorex this year. They will very likely go to their first challenge in the 8th game with NE...then we'll see.
The Colts win because of their big 3 (Manning, James, Harrison) and their D which has given up nothing.
I'm just glad my Browns won their 2nd game before December LOL
The Browns will give Baltimore their 2nd(well-deserved)
@ss-kicking in a row next Sunday.
Watch Eli to find every hole in the Cowgirls defence.
;-)
I think so too.
Romeo is the type of coach that understands rivalries and The Ravens and the Squeelers are the bigtime rivals.
We will see the entire playbook pulled out against the Ravens, but unless the Ravens Defense can score multiple times, it will be a Browns win.
Add me to your ping list.
gawd I hope so. After that debacle last Sunday I don't believe the Rave-ons deserve to win another game.....ever!!!
Seeing the old Favre back was a delight! Not sure they are consistant enought to contend though.
Is it just my computer or has FR been acting weird today? Slow, my post from a minute ago isn't showing up.
Computers (sigh)
The way they played against the Jets, the Bucs should've fallen out of the Top 10. They were woeful.
yeah its slow on my end too...
I think the internet is lagging because others are having issues as well...
