Week 4 NFL Power Ratings

Odds to win the Super Bowl are in parenthesis.

1) Indianapolis Colts, 3-0 (19:4)

Indianapolis is holding strong despite suffering a number of key injuries.

2) Seattle Seahawks, 3-0 (7:1)

Running back, Shaun Alexander’s broken foot puts this ranking in jeopardy.

3) Cincinnati Bengals, 3-0 (6:1)

Cincinnati needs to avoid a letdown after winning in Pittsburgh last week.

4) Chicago Bears, 3-0 (7:1)

Rex Grossman has a lot of moxie, but is he a championship level quarterback?

5) Baltimore Ravens, 3-0 (15:1)

Ravens need to start scoring touchdowns or they will go on a downward path.

6) New England Patriots, 2-1 (10:1)

The Patriots look to avoid back to back losses for the first time since 2002.

7) Atlanta Falcons, 2-1 (30:1)

The loss to the Saints was a by-product of poor play and a great home crowd.

8) Jacksonville Jaguars, 2-1 (30:1)

Loss at Indianapolis shouldn’t downgrade what is a solid overall team.

9) San Diego Chargers, 2-0 (14:1)

The Chargers first real test comes this week at the Baltimore Ravens.

10) Philadelphia Eagles, 2-1 (18:1)

The Philadelphia Eagles quietly have the number one rated offense in the NFL.

11) Denver Broncos, 2-1 (16:1)

Denver’s impressive win at New England gets fans on the bandwagon again.

12) Dallas Cowboys, 1-1 (16:1)

The Cowboys never really know which Drew Bledsoe will show up each week.

13) Pittsburgh Steelers, 1-2 (16:1)

The defending champs are still a lot better than their record indicates.

14) Minnesota Vikings, 2-1 (30:1)

Coach, Brad Childress has done a tremendous job despite last week’s loss.

15) Carolina Panthers, 1-2 (16:1)

Steve Smith’s return has already changed the dynamic of the whole team.

16) New Orleans Saints, 3-0 (50:1)

3-0 is 3-0, and the Saints probably deserve more respect than this ranking.

17) New York Giants, 1-2 (25:1)

Someone tell Jeremy Shockey to close his pie-hole and start making catches.

18) Washington Redskins, 1-2 (40:1)

The Redskins would like to schedule the Texans 16 times per season.

19) St. Louis Rams, 2-1 (60:1)

St. Louis is one team that still has the so-called experts extremely baffled.

20) Miami Dolphins, 1-2 (40:1)

Dolphins got a close home win over Tennessee last week. Is that good or bad?

21) New York Jets, 2-1 (100:1)

Eric Mangini might win coach of the year if they gave the award after three games.

22) Buffalo Bills, 1-2 (100:1)

Two solid opening weeks all go for naught in an ugly home loss to the Jets.

23) Arizona Cardinals, 1-2 (100:1)

The Matt Leinart era has begun, but he could easily struggle the rest of the year.

24) Kansas City Chiefs, 0-2 (100:1)

Coach Herm Edwards thinks his team is good. Unfortunately, he is the only one.

25) Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 0-3 (200:1)

Dreadful start, plus injured quarterback, means a very long year in Tampa.

26) Green Bay Packers, 1-2 (300:1)

Brett Favre still cares about the wins and losses. The rest of the team follows suit.

27) San Francisco 49ers, 1-2 (300:1)

The 49ers are a young and inconsistent team that should keep improving.

28) Cleveland Browns, 0-3 (1000:1)

Coach Romeo Crenell is stuck in one of the best divisions in football.

29) Detroit Lions, 0-3 (1000:1)

The Lions are the most disappointing team in this young season.

30) Tennessee Titans, 0-3 (1,000:1)

The Titans put a scare into Miami last week. Talk about your moral victories.

31) Houston Texans, 0-3 (1000:1)

The Texans’ defense is giving up almost 500 yards per game. That is incredible.

32) Oakland Raiders, 0-2 (500:1)

The good news is the Raiders didn’t lose last week. The bad news is they didn’t play.
