Saints Clearly Number 1 On This Weeks Power Rankings

So last week I went on and on about why the Vikings are the best team in the NFL. Well the Saints sure did shut me up this week with a 38-17 blowout over New England.

1. Saints (11-0) Like I just said, they seem almost impossible to beat...almost.

2. Vikings (10-1) I'm not sure what I thought about all of the passing, Brett Favre is great, but the Vikings have some talented runningbacks that they don't use often enough.

3. Colts (11-0) They really need to not give all their fans heart attacks at the beggining of games, but they continue to win games.

4. Chargers (8-3) Some teams are now starting to fall, so I'd rather have the Chargers get their cold streak out of the way early, now they are on a roll.

5. Bengals (8-3) Im not sure what to say, they didn't exactly crush Cleveland, which a good team really should do, but they did win with another great defensive stand.

6.Cardinals (7-4) Warner will be back soon, they should be fine.

7. Patriots (7-4) They really did embarress themselves Monday night, and alot of "experts" are not so confident in a Pats-Colts AFC Championship.

8. Cowboys (8-3) The good news is they played a great thanksgiving game, the bad news is it was the Raiders that they played.

9. Packers (7-4) That loss to Tampa Bay is a thing of the Past.

10. Eagles (7-4) They barely slipped away from Washington, so the Eagles are a question right now.

11. Broncos (7-4) Though they won last week, they will need SD to lose to the Browns and to beat the Colts this week to get back on top of the AFC West. That is a low low low possibilty.

12. Titans (5-6) Some of you may think this is a little high for the Titans, but they are really looking like one of the better teams in the NFL all of the sudden.

13. Ravens (6-5) They finally got their revenge against Pittsburgh on SNF, now they both have the same record.

14. Steelers (6-5) They are on a 3 game losing streak right now and suddenly aren't looking like a lock for the Wild Card.

15. Falcons (6-5) They have been partially dissapointing this year, and they don't have Ryan for a tough game against the Eagles next week.

16. Giants (6-5) I expected some football out of the Giants on thanksgiving, but instead they decided to do whatever the Lions and Raiders were doing.

17. Jaguars (6-5) Suprisingly, they are still the #6 Seed in the AFC.

18. Texans (5-6) A team won't get far if they blow a 17-0 lead.

19. Dolphins (5-6) Last week was pathetic, I hope to see something better against the Patriots.

20. 49ers (5-6) On Sunday, we saw the good 49ers, maybe they will keep it up.

21. Jets (5-6) The defense won the game for them against Carolina, which is a good thing cause they actually won.

22. Panthers (4-7) Just when we thought the Panthers were looking good again, they lose 2 straight.

23. Bears (4-7) What happened to Matt Forte? I expected Jay Cutler to be awful but Matt Forte was really good.

24. Redskins (3-8) They are still #1 against the pass, and have actually put up fights against the teams they have played. Still they are losing games.

25. Bills (4-7) Maybe the Bills are on to something, score points and you win games.

26. Seahawks (4-7) Justing Forsett played a great game on Sunday, but that was the Rams.

27. Chiefs (3-8) Well good to see things back to normal.

28. Raiders (3-8) Just quote what I said for the Chiefs.

29. Buccaneers (1-10) Freemen played well and the defense looked sharp, until they let up a game winning touchdown.

30. Lions (2-9) Why do they tell us we are watching Thanksgiving football and then put the Lions on?

31. Rams (1-10) The only thing going well for the Rams right now is...well nothing.

32. Browns (1-10) If they beat San Diego next week I will officially be embarressed.

Right Now, I'm predicting a Brees Vs Rivers Superbowl, check out my twitter (chargerized) for updates.

Chargers Demolish Chiefs 43-14 And Keep 1 Game Lead In AFC West

Chris Chambers came back to his old team today only to see his KC Chiefs get crushed 43-14. San Diego just looked like a great team out there all day. L.T. had 2 more tds, though only 39 yards. Rivers was very productive with 317 yards and 2 TDs. Gates looked like the old Gates with 117 yards and 2 TDs. The defense forced 4 turnovers. This was just a great game. If only they didn't start at their own 5 for the first 2 drives, then maybe they would have put up 50. The only bad thing about this game was the Tomlinson goal-line fumble, but luckily that didn't matter because they were up 38-14. All in all, the only thing left to say is "Cleveland here we come."

Broncos Win, Turns Charger Chiefs Game Into Must Win

Well last night the Broncos crushed the Giants in one of three awful Thanksgiving games. So they have snapped their losing streak and are at 7-4. Lukily for us Charger fans, they take on the Chiefs at home this Sunday. Honestly, it should be a blowout but I don't expect that. Sure SD is better in all categories but the Chiefs have come off a huge win. Then again, so did San Diego.

What To Watch For
The first thing on this list is Veteran Offensive Linemen John Runyan. He just signed with the Chargers, but his experience could help some of our younger linemen. Next, Vincent Jackson. He did much better after a 10 yard game against the Eagles, and the last time he played the Chiefs he put up 142 yards and a TD. Lets see if he can put up another performence like that. With that said let's point to Philip Rivers. He put up low numbers last week, but thats all he needed. They barely passed it in the 4th quarter and suprisingly the Running backs were able to produce 203 yards. Hopefully Rivers could improve his numbers though against the bad teams they play the next two weeks so he could get his deserved spot in the Pro Bowl over Big Ben. On the Chiefs side the only thing I'd be excited for is Chris Chambers coming back to his old team. Luckily, San Diego DBs have practiced against him so should know how to stop him.

Projected Stats

Vikings Take My #1 Spot On Week 12 Power Rankings

I know what your thinking, Vikings? Actually it may not be too suprising to some of you, but here we go for this week.

1.Vikings (9-1) Now I know this may think this is crazy, but this is why the Vikings are #1. They have possibly the best RB in the game and last year won I think 11 games with a bad QB. Now they have Brett Favre to lead the offense, and their receivers are playing better. They have always had a great defense led by Winfield and Allen, and now with Percy Harvin they even have top-notch special teams. People, this is the team to beat, they just got their bad game out of the way in the regular season rather than the Playoffs.

2.Saints (10-0)- They won 38-7, thats good even against the Bucs. They are still the best offensive team in the league.

3.Colts (10-0)- They had a couple of lucky things happen against the Ravens, and Peyton Manning is starting to look a little dull with his second straight 2 pick game. Still they havn't lost.

4.Patriots (7-3)- The Monday Night Matchup of the Pats and Saints is possibly the best game left. Let's see if the Pats can prove themselves.

5.Chargers (7-3)- 5 straight wins and the Chargers are doing what they do best earlier than ever.

6.Cardinals (7-3)- Warner being injured could be a serious problem, but if he plays the Cardinals will be fine.

7.Bengals (7-3) Though the loss to Oakland was ugly, they caught a break with Pittsburgh losing to KC.

8.Steelers (6-4) Ben Roethlesberger says he is alright, but the Steelers are looking exposed on defense without Polomalu.

9.Eagles (6-4)They ended their 2 game losing streak with a close game against the Bears. At least they won the game.

10.Cowboys (6-4) They have scored 7 points each in their last 2 games, luckily for them the defense is performing well.

11.Packers (6-4) The Packers are rising above again, and are on top of the NFC Wild Card Race.

12.Giants (6-4) They ended their losing streak against a pretty good Falcons team, but they still aren't the team they were earlier this season.

13.Jaguars (6-4) Though the games are close, the Jags are winning games and creeping into that #5 seed.

14.Ravens (5-5) Wow, that Joe Flacco pick was terrible, but besides that they played solid defense against Manning's Colts.

15.Falcons (5-5) The Falcons are talented, but the loss of Michael Turner right when he was getting back into his game was crucial.

16.Broncos (6-4) Finally the Broncos are looking like the Broncos we all know and love.

17.Titans (4-6) 10-6!!!! It is going to happen and the Titans will make the most memorable comeback in NFL History.

18.Dolphins (5-5) Glad to see Ricky Williams proving he can take over this team.

19.Texans (5-5) Another loss by a missed field goal, what a shame.

20.Panthers (4-6) They have been running the ball so well, but unfortunatly this is a passing league.

21.49ers (4-6) Maybe if they played a full game like they played the 4th quarter against the Packers, they would look like the 3-0 49ers we remember.

22.Jets (4-6) Every week Sanchez looks worse. The defense isn't helping much either.

23.Bears (4-6) The Orton-Cutler trade really isn't working out for either team is it?

24.Seahawks (3-7) I feel like this team is better than 3-7, but they just don't have any heart.

25.Redskins (3-7) I think the Redskins deserve more credit, believe it or not they are first in the league against the Pass. Also, they are playing with now a 3rd string runningback. So they are bad, but not as bad as we think.

26.Chiefs (3-7) I knew the chiefs had potential, and Chris Chambers is looking great in KC.

27.Raiders (3-7) How come the Raiders can only beat good teams??? Ohh and is Gradkowski the answer for the Raiders...well terribleness?

28.Bills(3-7) T.O. Looked like the old T.O. for once, and the Bills still lost.

29.Lions(2-8) Its nice to see Stafford finally play a bad team, maybe he is better than we think.

30.Buccaneers (1-9) Well Freemen, you are still the best QB on the team, but the Bucs are far from being a good team.

31.Rams (1-9) Well, the Rams are just awful, what else is there to say?

32.Browns (1-9) They Were Up 24-3 and they lost. Then again, the fact that they scored more than 14 is impressive.

Chargers Crush Broncos To Take AFC West Lead


Before I get to this game, I just want to say this was a pretty crazy week in football. The Raiders, Chiefs, and Lions all won. The Raiders beat the Bengals, the Chiefs beat the Steelers, and the Lions Browns game was actually high scoring. Besides that, things were pretty normal I guess.

Ok, now for this game. With this win, San Diego has now won all 3 of the considerably "tough" games. All of the fans on the scout forum back in week 6 said these were the games the Chargers would lose. Well they won, and the only really tough game we have left is Cincy. So right now SD is pretty much looking at a 12-4 season. The Broncos on the other hand, have 2 more tough games within the next 3 weeks. The Giants on Thanksgiving and the Colts will both be a challenge. So, for now SD has taken back what is rightfully theirs.

UPs
San Diego finally ran the ball well. Also, the red zone defense really played well, including the fumble at the 1 yard line. Rivers was efficient as usual, and though Jackson had a decent game, Legadu Naanee had his 2nd touchdown in 2 weeks. He is really turning into a good weapon. Finally, the o-line gave rivers plenty of time and didn't let up 1 sack, plus it looked great when it came to run-blocking.

Downs
I would have liked to see Tomlinson stay in and boost his yardage, but the fact that our fullbacks were tearing up the field did at least prove that we are blocking better. Also, Rivers only had 142 yards, but then again, the Chargers were dominating so badly that they didn't even need to throw the ball in the second half. Finally, I will admit they got lucky with the one fumble, and they did let up some big plays both through the air and on the ground.

All in all, this was exactly what the chargers needed, and they are now pretty much staring 9-3 in the face, along with a 4th straight division title.

Huge Game For AFC West Lead As The Chargers Head To Denver


Last week was a huge momentum shift for both the San Diego Chargers and the Denver Broncos. The Chargers finally ran the ball well and took out Philly 31-23 while the Broncos lost Kyle Orton and lost to the Redskins 27-17. Now they are tied at 6-3 each in the AFC West and San Diego is looking for revenge.

Now, the thing I see is that if the Chargers win this game, their next two games are against the Chiefs and Browns, while the Broncos take on the Giants, the Chiefs, and the Colts, so SD has the advantage with the next few games.

While the pass defense has been pretty good most of the season, the Chargers let up 450 yards to McNabb last week, so if that happens again they can probably kiss this win goodbye. Luckily for them, they will either play an injured Kyle Orton, or Chris Simms. Both of these quarterbacks are less talented then McNabb. Besides that everything went well for SD, they ran the ball well, Rivers was effecient completing 20 of 25, and the Run Defense held the Eagles to about 30 yards.

On the other side the Broncos looked great at first, starting the game with 2 huge TD passes to Brandon Marshall, but produced only 36 yards of offense in the 2nd half. Also, they let a Punter score on a 32 yard TD pass, that is kind of embarresing. I mean, when a kicker maybe scores on a short 5 yard td pass, thats acceptable, but 32 yards? Anyway that was the 3rd straight loss for Denver.

San Diego pretty much needs to play like they did last week, expect lower the yards allowed through the air. Even if they need to let up a few more rushing yards, don't let Denver put up more than 300. If SD can establish a decent running game, then Rivers can torch the Denver Defense and the Chargers will easily win this one. But, Denver can win this game. If they can wreck SD on sprecial teams like they did last time, it could be a long day for the Chargers. Also, the Pass Rush killed them last time, but Rivers has adjusted, facing two great pass rushes the last two weeks.

Projected Stats

Score- 24-10 Chargers

Chargers
Philip Rivers- 242 Yard 2 TDs

Colts Climb to #1 On My Power Rankings

Alright, let's get right to this weeks power rankings.

1.Colts (9-0)- The record says it, they havn't lost a game yet even after playing the Patriots.

2. Saints (9-0) Hopefully that game against the Rams was just a fluke, because they would have lost to almost any other team. Still, they are undefeated.


3.Vikings (8-1) Though they only scored 27 points, they absolutely dominated the Lions, which any good team should do.

4. Bengals (7-2) With a win over the Steelers, the Bengals have now proved to me they are a serious contender, and now it is thanks to the defense.

5. Patriots (6-3) They are one punt away from being higher on this list. That sounds pretty weird.

6. Steelers (6-3) The loss of Polomalu again could be critical for the Steelers.


7. Chargers (6-3) Now we are seeing the Chargers we know and love.

8. Cardinals (6-3) It took some time, but Kurt Warner went all Kurt Warner on the Seahawks last week and gave the Cardinals a good division lead.

9. Cowboys (6-3) They go from beating the Eagles to scoring 7 points against the Packers, leaving us all to ask, are they choking again?

10. Broncos (6-3) The losses to Baltimore and Pittsburgh were acceptable, the loss to Washington was definatly not.

11. Eagles (5-4) They need to score more in the Red Zone if they want to be considered more dangerous.

12. Ravens (5-4) The Browns got their defense back to its origianl state, for now.

13. Falcons (5-4) The loss to Carolina was dissapointing, but I think they can get back on their feet next week.

14. Texans (5-4) Time for them to prove themselves on Monday Night against the Titans.

15. Giants (5-4) The Cowboys and Eagles both lost, giving the Giants hope.


16. Panthers (4-5) This may be suprising, but they are looking much better now, especially with establishing the run.

17. Packers (5-4) The win against the Cowboys proved that the Bucs game was just a fluke.

18. Jaguars (5-4) Maurice Jones-Drew = Beast, rest of Jaguars team = alright I guess.

19. Dolphins (4-5) They almost lost to the Bucaneers, let's see what they can do on Thursday Night without Ronnie Brown.


20. 49ers (4-5) The good news is they got 5 picks against Cutler last week. The bad news is they only scored 10 points. They need to play better offense if they want to compete with the Cardinals.

21. Titans (3-6) The miracle is coming, Tennsessee is looking great, and I think they could go 10-6 if they really concentrate.

22. Jets (4-5) After a 3-0 start the only team they could beat was the Raiders, thats sad.


23. Seahawks (3-6) They needed that win against Arizona, and for the first half it looked like they could get it.

24. Bears (4-5) Jay Cutler with another fantastic performence as the Bears QB.

25. Redskins (3-6) Well they beat the Broncos, so maybe this means something.

26. Bills (3-6) The Bills are looking worse each week, and like I said last week, imagine if they won Week 1.


27. Chiefs (2-7) Hey, they can at least beat the Raiders.

28. Buccaneers (1-8) They almost beat the Dolphins, which proves that Freemen has changed this team a little.

29. Raiders (2-7) They can't even beat the Chiefs... and Russel got benched again.


30. Rams (1-8) They played a competitive game against the Saints, Steven Jackson is the only reason we can call the Rams a football team.


31. Lions (1-8) Well ever since the win against the Redskins the Lions have just looked worse.

32. Browns (1-8) I really thought the Browns had a shot at a win at half-time last night, their defense played pretty good, but the Offense is even worse then the Raiders.

Broncos Loss and Chargers Win Leads to a tied division

The Broncos lost to the Redskins and the Chargers beat the Eagles... so next week is the game SD can take the lead. Even though that is all that is really on my mind right now this post is really about every game of the week, so let's start with the 1:00 games.

Denver at Washington
My Score Prediction- 34-13 Denver
Final Score- 27-17 Washington
So early in the game Denver goes all Brandon Marshall on the Redskins, and after that it was over, Denver lost to the Redskins... I mean, at first I thought the Ravens game just might have been a bad game. Then the Steelers game was just a loss to a great team, but Washington?!? San Diego better take advantage of them next week.
Grades
Washington- (B-) Hey they won, and they won by more than one score. They didn't let the Marshall play get their hopes down.
Denver- (D-) Wow, they played terrible, against Washington. The only thing keeping them from an F is the fact that Marshall Played like a beast. Besides that, their next best receiver was Scheffler with 29 yards.

Falcons at Panthers
My Score Prediction- 30-20 Falcons
Final Score- 28-19 Panthers
This wasn't completely surprising, I guess the Panthers took what they did last week and played 4 quarters of football against a team not as good as the Saints. However I don't expect the Falcons to go downhill from here, they are still dangerous.
Grades
Panthers- (A-) Steve Smith started to look like Steve Smith again with 2 TDs. Still would like to see more yardage out of him. Meanwhile the duo of Stewart and Williams continued to produce yards. The defense played pretty good.
Falcons (D+) They didn't show up, but as I said before, I think the Falcons will forget about this and move on. Plus they lost Turner to injury, but hopefully he is o.k.


Jaguars at Jets
My Score Prediction- 24-20 Jaguars
Final Score- 24-22 Jaguars
Wow, my guess was only 2 points off. It is sad to see Sanchez start to look like a Rookie after such a great start, but it continued today against the Jaguars as he threw 2 more INTs. I knew the Jets weren't for real, and I think now many others do too.

Jaguars- (B+) As usual, Jones-Drew tore up the defense. Though Garrard didn't put up monster numbers, he didn't throw any picks.
Jets- (C) They did keep the game close. But as I said earlier, Sanchez threw two picks and only 1 TD. The Jets are really falling behind in the Wild Card race.

Cincinnati at Pittsburgh
M Score Prediction- Bengals 24 Steelers 27
Final Score- Bengals 18 Steelers 12
The Bengals are for real now, though lately it has been their defense. Either way, they have been winning games against good teams and held a good Steelers offense to no TDs. This Bengals team is possibly on the road to a Super Bowl.
Grades
Bengals- (A-) Once again, the defense was unbelievable. I would like to see offense that was so good come back though. Also, what was the point of that fake extra point?
Steelers- (B-) They played a tough game, but couldn't get touchdowns when they needed them. They played good defense against a talented offense, but they couldn't use that as an advantage.


Minnesota at Detroit
My Score Prediction- 38-10
FInal Score- 27-10
This is exactly how the game should have turned out. It was simply the better team that won. Though I give Detroit's defense credit though, even though they let up a ton of yards, I expected more Vikings points. Still the Vikings completely outplayed the Lions.
Grades
Vikings- (A+) They did everything right, Favre had around 340 yards, Sidney Rice had a monstrous 200 yard game, and Peterson had a solid 130 yard game. The defense didn't disappoint either.
Lions- (F) They couldn't stop anyone and they barely produced on offense. This is exactly what the Lions are good at.


Miami at Tampa Bay
My Score Prediction- 26-23 Tampa Bay
Final Score- 25-23 Miami
This was probably the closest loss I have predicted all year. I really wanted to see Tampa Bay win, but even though they lost Josh Freemen still has a better winning percentage then Sanchez or Stafford.
Grades
Tampa Bay- (C+) They were a field goal away from their second win, but the season is pretty much over for them anyway.
Miami- (B-) They didn't play much better, but the Wildcat did once again tear up the defense. Now let's see how they do against Carolina.


New Orleans at Saint Louis
My Score Prediction- 41-9 Saints
Final Score- 28-23 Saints
Wow the Rams played good football for the first time since last year, and they still lost. Though it was a close game, the Saints remained undefeated, but is this just setting them up for a loss? I guess we will have to find out next week.
Grades
Saints- (B-) They played solid offense, but the defense really should have not let up 23 to the Rams.Rams- (C) They played possibly the best team in the NFL, maybe this could lead to some momentum.

Tennessee at Buffalo
My Score Prediction- 31-17 Tennessee
Final Score- 41-17 Tennessee
After starting 0-6 the Titans have won 3 straight. Though it hasn't been against great teams, it wasn't against terrible teams either. Until now, the Bills are just looking worse every week.
Grades
Tennessee- (A) Once again, Johnson looked great. Vince Young still didn't look great, but is still winning games.
Buffalo- (D) Well they started off ok, which is the only reason they don't have an F. Still, the Bills are far from a competitive team.


Kansas City at Oakland
My Score Prediction- 14-10
Final Score- 16-10
Well this is exactly what everyone expected, just a terrible game between terrible teams. Well the Chiefs still won, which didn't surprise many people.
Grades
Kansas City- (C+) The bright side is their defense played well. The dark side is it was against the Raiders, and they could only score 16 points.
Oakland- (D-) Just what you would expect out of Oakland, a pathetic attempt at playing offense, including a 67 yard performance out of Russell.


Arizona at Seattle
My Score Prediction- 27-20 Arizona
Final Score- 31-20 Arizona
Though it took some time, Arizona's offense looked great for a second week in a row. Warner had a great game with 340 yards and 2 TDs.
Grades
Arizona- (B+) It took a little time for them to get going, but as I usually say, it matters how you finish not how you start.
Seattle- (C) It's not like they played a bad game, but this wasn't a good game either. They played much better against the Lions, but then again doesn't everybody?


Cowboys at Packers
My Score Prediction- 31-21 Cowboys
Final Score- 17-7 Packers
Well, the Cowboys started looking like the Cowboys again, as did the Packers. With the wloss the NFC East is still up for grabs. I wonder now if the Packers can possibly turn the season around.
Grades
Packers- (A) They played great defense against a good offense, and their own offense got the job done.
Cowboys- (C-) They couldn;'t score for 3 quarters, and more importantly lost to a team that came off a loss to the Bucs.


I will have a full recap for the Chargers game tomorrow, so for now thanks for reading. If you want to write a blog post, just send me an email at Chargerized@gmail.com. Also add chargerized on twitter for updates.

Fantasy Starts of the Week

On Thursday Night Jay Cutler threw 0 TDs and 5 INTs, so I feel sorry for anybody who started him, but for everybody else here is who you should start This week.
QB
Start of the Week
Drew Brees- He is playing the terrible Rams, and he is one of the best Qbs in the NFL. I mean, you should start him any week, last week he played the #1 pass D in the league and still did alright. Now he plays the 23rd rank pass Defense in the Rams.
Projected Stats- 312 Yards 3 TDs


RB
Starts of the Week
Its super hard to pick between these two, so I'll go with both.

Ray Rice- He is a beast already, he even scored last week when the Ravens played like crap. He is the 4th ranked fantasy RB who is going up against the 31st ranked Browns. Come on, who wouldn't start him?
Projected Stats- 143 Yards 2 TDs

Chris Johnson- Ok, you have the best runningback in the league (yea, I did just say that) against the worst running defense in the league. PLUS, though Vince Young has been better, the Titans still aren't passing very effectively, just more effeciently. Then again, that is all you need when you have Johnson on your team.
Projected Stats- 164 Yards 2 TDs

WR
Starts of the Week
Percy Harvin*Sleeper*- This may be a suprise to you, but Percy is an explosive receiver who should definatly take advantage of the Lions, who rank 31st against the pass and are especially weak in defending the deep pass. Also he has a chance to return a kick all the way on special teams.
Projected Stats- 84 Yards TD

Marques Colston- He's a talented receiver who has one of the best Qbs in the league throwing him the ball...against the Rams. You should definatly start him, its obvious.

Projected Stats 106 Yards TD
TE
Brent Celek- Though the Chargers have been good against the pass, their weak point has been against the TEs. Especially with the pressure coming at McNabb, look for him to dump it off the the TE and let him make a play.
Projected Stats- 52 Yards TD


Kickers- Go with either Gostkowski(Patriots) or Stover (Colts) These games are usually high scoring, so expect these guys to be kicking plenty of Extra Points and possibly a field goal or 2.

Defenses
Ravens,Vikings,Saints- I shouldn't even need to explain why to start these 3.
