SPT NFL Power Rankings

After Baltimore sat in the second spot in the rankings for the last two weeks they fall to seven. As New Orleans, Indianapolis and the New York Giants stay a top the rankings.

The Broncos have rocketed up the rankings the past two weeks. Can Denver keep their momentum through this tough stretch?

Greg Williams and his Saints defense made Mark Sanchez look like a rookie quarterback this week and its caused the Jets to fall to the tenth spot.

The Week 4 NFL Power Teams:

1. (1) New York Giants (4-0) - The Giants are toying with the weak teams on their schedule. With all of their defensive injuries, the defense has still been in the top five in the league. And Eli and his merry wide outs keep chuggin along.

2. (3) New Orleans (4-0) - Greg Williams has made the Saints defense a solid unit. They aren't outstanding but you don't need an outstanding defense when you have Brees on the offensive end.

3. (5) Indianapolis (4-0) - Peyton Manning. If he keeps putting up numbers like this, the Colts might make a good run towards Miami.

4. (4) Minnesota (4-0) - Brett Favre showed how stellar this Viking offense can be Monday Night against Green Bay. Adrian Peterson was mostly shut down in the second half but Brett Favre was Brett Favre and the Vikings are well on their way to an NFC North title.

5. (8) New England (3-1) - Big win for the Brady bunch on Sunday over Baltimore. Let's see if the offense can play well enough this week against the Denver 'Orange Crush' defense.

6. (10) Denver (4-0) - Defense. They have allowed 26 points in four weeks. That's less than a touchdown a week. That is incredible. Elvis Dummervil is having an amazing year after Denver moved to the 3-4 look. If they can beat New England this week, talk about a surprise team.

7. (2) Baltimore (3-1) - Where is the Baltimore defense? They finally have an offense that can put up points but the defense is shaky. Especially the secondary outside of Ed Reed they are getting killed out there.

8. (7) - Philadelphia (2-1) - Coming off their bye they will have a healthy Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook which will be very helpful. They also have an easy stretch coming up (TB, @OAK, @WAS) which will also be very helpful.

9. (9) - Atlanta (2-1) - Coming off the bye and entering into a very tough four game stretch will tell us if the Falcons can actually compete with the Saints. Their next four games are @SF, CHI, @DAL, @NO.

10. (6) - New York Jets (3-1) - The Saints are a Super Bowl contending team and the Jets are probably a year or two away from actual Super Bowl contention. The Saints defense made Mark Sanchez look like an inexperienced rookie (like he actually is). But the Jets defense still played outstanding against one of the top offenses in the league.

On the Waiting List: Cincinnati, Chicago, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, San Francisco
