Week Six Power Rankings

Another week, and not one of the unbeatens go down. We have four teams at 5-0, and one at 4-0. It's looking like both conferences are going to have great playoff races.
With that in mind, let's take a look at this week's version of my power rankings.
1. New York Giants (5-0, LW:1): The G-Men got another dominating win this past week against the Raiders, but can we can't really take this as anything. The real test is this week, when they take on the Saints in New Orleans.
2. Indianapolis Colts (5-0, LW:2): Peyton Manning continues to shred everyone, and they go into the Bye with a three game lead in the division. The running game still needs to get going, and the defence should get Bob Sanders back after he Bye.
3. Minnesota Vikings (5-0, LW: 4): They move past the Saints with an easy win over the hapless Rams. Brett Favre continues to roll, AP continues to struggle, and they have Baltimore on the slate for this week. Time to earn your stripes.
4. New Orleans Saints (4-0, LW:3): They move down a spot due to the Bye, but they have a chance to make some noise this week against the Giants. If Drew Brees can get back on track, the Saints should continue to roll.
5. Denver Broncos (5-0, LW:7): Yet another victory for this team. The defence continues to dominate, and Kyle Orton seems to do everything right. They have a tough matchup this week, as they travel to San Diego for a Monday Night divisional matchup.
6. Cincinnati Bengals (4-1, LW:11): The Bengals did what they had to against the Ravens on Sunday. Carson Palmer continues to deliver in the clutch, and the defence is doing enough to keep them in games. They have to avoid a let down against Houston.
7. Atlanta Falcons (3-1, LW: 9): What a dominating win over the 49ers. If the defence continues to play like this, the Falcons should keep up with the Saints. They have the Bears, Cowboys and Saints the next three weeks.
8. Chicago Bears (3-1, LW: 10): They come off the Bye with a big NFC showdown against the Falcons. If Jay Cutler can keep it going, they should be able to get a win. However, if the running game stalls again, it could be a tough one to win.
9. New England Patriots (3-2, LW: 6): What to make of the Patriots at this point? It seems every week that we see a different showing. Now they get Junior Seau back, and face a desperate Titans team in New England this weekend.
10. Philadelphia Eagles (3-1, LW: 13): The Eagles re-enter the top 10 after dismantling the Buccaneers. They travel to Oakland this week, and with a healthy Donovan McNabb at the helm, they should roll over the Raid-uhs.
11. New York Jets (3-2, LW: 5): What a disappointing loss to the Phins on Monday Night. They had it in the bag, but couldn't stop the Wildcat. Tough outing for the defence, but Braylon Edwards looks like he will certainly help the offence.
12. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2, LW: 14): They almost found a way to lose against the Lions, and that would have been bad. This team has to learn to play four full quarters. They have to beat Cleveland this week to keep pace in the North. How tough.
13. Dallas Cowboys (3-2, LW: 16): If it took OT to beat the Chiefs, Cowboys fans better be worried. But with the Bye at hand, they get a chance to get healthier. They have a tough NFC matchup against the Falcons after the Bye.
14. Baltimore Ravens (3-2, LW: 8): The Ravens almost made it through, but they couldn't stop Carson Palmer when it mattered. They continue to take dumb penalties in crunch time, and they have a tough game this week against Minnesota.
15. San Diego Chargers (2-2, LW: 15): The Chargers face a must-win game Monday Night in Denver. LT has to get going, as Philip Rivers can't carry them forever. They can't expect another Broncos late season collapse.
16. Green Bay Packers (2-2, LW: 17): They come out of the Bye with a fluffy home game against the Lions to look forward to. At some point the running game has to start working, but the Packers should get back on track this week.
17. San Francisco 49ers (3-2, LW: 12): Wow. That's what the Niners must be thinking after being humbled at home against the Falcons. The offence stunk and the defence couldn't stop anything. They better get Frank Gore back soon.
18. Arizona Cardinals (2-2, LW: 19): The offence found its way against the Texans, and that is a good sign for this team. They face a huge NFC West match up this week, against the recently rejeuvenated Seahawks.
19. Seattle Seahawks (2-3, LW: 22): The Ol' Hassler comes back, and the Seahawks get rolling again. Now they have a chance to get back in the NFC West race with a win over the Cards. The defence played great as well, shutting out the Jags.
20. Miami Dolphins (2-3, LW: 23): Back-to-Back wins have the Dolphins back in the AFC East race. They enter the Bye week in great shape, but they have a showdown against the Saints to look forward to next.
21. Jacksonville Jaguars (2-3, LW: 18): Typical Jaguars. They get everyone talking after huge divisional wins, then they don't even show up against the reeling Seahawks. They get the Rams this week, and they should move back to .500.
22. Houston Texans (2-3, LW: 20): The Texans were a goal-line stand away from taking the Cards to OT. The short yardage game was a disaster, and they need to get that working. How could Steve Slaton not be the guy to run that fourth and goal?
23. Carolina Panthers (1-3, LW: 27): The Panthers got a much needed win last week against the Skins, but they need to keep it going if they want to make a playoff run. The running game hasn't been as good as expected.
24. Washington Redskins (2-3, LW: 21): They have yet to play a team that had any wins, but yet the Skins are 2-3. Jason Campbell is not the answer, and unfortunetely, there is no where to turn.
25. Detroit Lions (1-4, LW: 26): The Lions continue to lose, but they are making games interesting finally. If they pull off an upset in Green Bay this week, the season would start looking like a success.
26. Tennessee Titans (0-5, LW: 25): The Titans just suck. Kerry Collins can't do anything, and they won't turn to Vince Young. The defence stinks, and they have a match up in New England this week.
27. Buffalo Bills (1-4, LW: 24): The Bills continue to free-fall. The offence blows, despite all of the talent. The defence can only keep them in it for so long. Calling J.P. Losman, the Bills need a QB.
28. Kansas City Chiefs (0-5, LW: 29): The Chiefs at least kept thier game close this week, so they move up a spot. Matt Cassl played well, but they have got nothing from the running game. Is this a new trend in the NFL?
29. Cleveland Browns (1-4, LW: 31): They got a win despite their QB completing only two passes. This is a good sign for the defence, as they showed they could get it done. Eventually, they need to get some offence.
30. Oakland Raiders (1-4, LW: 28): The Raiders have no QB, no RB, and no defence. Not a great sign for a team who has been rebuilding since they lost the Super Bowl in 2002.
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-5, LW: 30): Another dismantling by an NFC East opponent, and the Bucs continue to drop in the ranks. Josh Johnson has been OK in two starts, but when will Josh Freeman be ready? Do they put him in with the team being this bad?
32. St Louis Rams (0-5, LW: 32): The Rams get absolutely killed again, and there doesn't appear to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Steven Jackson needs to get out of there
