Another wonky week in the National Football League. Covers Expert Bryan Leonard tries to make sense of it all in this week's Power Rankings. The Titans and Giants held serve keeping the top two spots in order. The rest of the top 10 needing some juggling after a number of upsets and ATS losses.

Having TB at 3 and Eagles at 6, and both higher than the Redskins is just idiotic.

TB lost to Dallas without Romo. Eagles are 4-3 and last place in the NFC East, yet you think they are the 6th best team. Give me break you moron.

top 2 are pretty ez, unanimous, after that, it's a crapshoot. Will agree with JBLAZE on on one thing,'SKINZ' better record, wins @PHILLY and @Dallas, clearly should be rated behind only Giants out of NFC east teams. Honestly, I don't know of any team that has only 2 losses and those caliber wins O.T.R. BACK TO BACK. Would have to go 'SKINS 3RD OVERALL, PANTHERS, THEN STEELERS, round out my top 5.

Yea, you might have dropped the ball on this one Mr. Leonard.

This is is a complete moron without a doubt. He has the 4-3 Eagles ahead of the 6-2 Redskins. Hey Leonard, have the Eagles and Redskins played? Yes they have where was that game played? Philadelphia. Who won? The Redskins. So let me get this right the Redskins won at Philly and have a better record and are ranked below them. Chargers at 11 at 3-5 lol. You have gotta be kidding me you must be on their nuts. What happens if they win 3 in a row and go to 6-5 you going to put them at number 3 behing the Titans and Giants. He moves the Pats down 3 spots. They are 5-2 you idiot. And he moves the Bears up 2 spots for not playing lol. Oh and the Pats beat the rams so this makes perfect sense leonard. Move the Pats down three spots and the Rams up three. I do not blame you move the team who LOST up 3 and the team who won down three makes perfect sense.

I am a Dolphins fan by the way, I just do not see how this guy can be considered an expert.

oh and he has the 3-4 colts and jags who both lost this last week ahead of the Pats at 5-2. The Pats win he moves them down 3 spots, colts get blown away in Tennesse and he has the colts move up 1.

Once again diehard Dolphins fan I hate the Pats, I just like realistic people and this guy i guess just favors his favorite teams no matter if they win or lose

This guy is a joke, Jacksonville is 1-3 at home and you have them at number 10 lol.

he has the Packers who disgraced the colts 34-14 below the colts lol.

The browns win at Jacksonville who is still his number 10 team and do not move up a spot. Even my Dolphins are ahead of the Jets. Dolphins are 3-4 and the Jets 4-3 and the Jets beat Miami in miami.

Seattle is below San Fran. Seattle disgraced San Fran at San Fran last sunday and is 2-5 while san fran is 2-6 and he has san fran better.

Congrats leonard you somehow nailed the Titans and Giants at one and two.

Can't argue with the top two. My gut feeling is that Tampa does not belong in the top ten. I would make the Packers and Skins three and four. Guessing either the Colts or Pats will emerge as some sort of threat in AFC, probably decided by this weeks game. Has to be the most confusing first half of NFL season ever. If Monday nite's Colts/Titans game would have opened the season, the Colts would have been minus 6. If this weeks Giants/Cowboys game was opening day, maybe pick. All in all, not a bad job of trying to power rate this mess.

he may have some "holes" in his rankings, but I don't know if the personal insults are really necessary guys. He's probably won more $$$ than 95% of the readers out there, if not more.

Express your opinion, by all means, they want you to, just be nice about it.

Tampa has a great team and they have an awesome defense but their offense has no middle of the field threat. Cant go anywhere with that. Titans are dominant on both sides of the ball and they have excellent veteran presences on both O-line and D-line. THE TITANS ARE FOR REAL. My Bills are not kind of sad. Giants will stomp the Cowboys and Brad Baby Johnson who is how old???? 45??
