I don't recall too many "nobody respects us" cards being played, considering most fans who follow these things are aware that the Sporting News and Fox Sports have had the Saints at #1 for a few weeks now.

9ers are still ranked too low. Put them above the Chargers and Bears at least and I think you'd be about good there.
Titans win ONE game with VY at the helm and move up 3 spots? Apparently Spike Lee's Favorite Farker writes for ESPN.
FTFA:
"What can the Raiders do to improve the state of things during the bye week?"
Get us a QB that doesn't immediately hand over 14 pts to the opposing team would probably be a start. Trade him for what you can get. Which, at this point, is probably 2 1980's era exercise bikes and a bag of footballs.
Well, I guess they're not going to greenlight this before I leave work, so I'll just leave this here:
Here's the direct link (pops), in case this thread doesn't go green and another one does. Maybe one of you can post it over there. I incorporated some dotted lines to help differentiate & follow along. I know it hurts the eyes, but it's better than having to use a "color wheel" to interpret it. It was treygreen13's idea, so yell at him if you don't like it.
Also, this week's featured team is the Giants because LOL
The Cowboys are ranked way too high. Yeah they've been good the past three weeks but they haven't won any divisional games. I don't think they should be ranked higher than the Eagles OR Giants.
Do saints fans actually think they are going to win the SB?
Im just asking from years of your let downs, they look decent but to be honest atlanta is the toughest team they faced and they didnt look like world beaters just a decent team that the steelers or pats would chew up.
Starting with #24 on down,can those teams just be left off the list until next year? They don't belong on a power list they belong on the side of a milk carton for missing teams.

Until it actually happens and Benson is doing the Benson Boogie to go collect his Lombardi Trophy, no, Saints fans are in a perpetual state of waiting for the other shoe to drop. As for Atlanta, they came in very pumped and the Saints played poorly and still won. As for the Patriots being able to beat them, they will get their shot in four weeks.

Don't worry, that will be taken care of next week.

I'm not sure who the steelers are yet. Are they the team that could easily be 7-0 without two close road losses or are they the team that barely beat the titans in the opener and got a call to help them beat the vikes at home? Same thing with the pats really - a bit inconsistent. They look like world beaters for a week and ordinary the next. I'll feel a lot better about Pittsburgh once we beat a good team on the road (Monday night vs Denver) or if we take the next games against Cincy and Baltimore. I'm on the fence right now. Roethlisberger has certainly stepped it up. Unfortunately the defense does not appear to be the same as last year and losing Aaron Smith ain't helping matters.

Yeah, I can see that but I think they have benefited from playing a weak schedule up until now, all the teams they played are not that good except for maybe the eagles and didnt they play them when mcnabb was out? Geez and they even lucked up and got the rams on their schedule, man could they have just given them a ticket for the playoffs?
They should still finish 14-2 barring a total collapse

The line for the Titans looks like the one for the stock market in the early 30s. But look! A recovery bounce! The crash is over!
Something tells me it's going to end about the same way...

Great work. It looks a lot better, though the Texans' line ought to be a bit higher. That's not your fault though.

on the other hand
The Colts play Texans, Patriots, and Ravens and they are 14-8 combined.
The Saints will roll the Rams and Bucs, and more than likely the Panthers. (boring)
while the Colts will play three consecutive smash mouth games, I can't wait !
