Kevin Roberts’ Week 12 NFL Power Rankings
The Colts and Saints (ranked first and second last week) remain in the top two spots, as they should, while some unlikely upsets have shaken the rest of the rankings up a bit. Week 12 will start to open things up a bit with Indianapolis being tested by a hungry Houston team, while New Orleans [...]
Matt Gentile’s Week 11 NFL Power Rankings
1. New Orleans Saints (9-0) Everyone has a bad day at the office, which is what New Orleans had against the St. Louis Rams last Sunday. But, good teams always manage to win bad games. 2.

NFL Picks (Week 11): Will unbeaten Saints and Colts trip up in tricky road tilts?
It’s been many moons since I’ve posted up NFL picks, but finally I’m getting around to making them a regular thing once again. Thanks to the end of bye weeks, we’ve got a full 16-game slate each week from here on out, and that means I’ve got plenty of chances to make myself look smart [...]
NFL Week 11: Five Things to Watch For
It gets repetitive, but if you’re a true NFL fan, it never gets old. The 2009 NFL season continues to be one of the more exciting, story-line filled seasons, and through 10 weeks, we still have two teams that are undefeated. They both have endured several close calls, including a game-saving interception for the Saints [...]
Matt Gentile’s Week Nine NFL Power Rankings
1. New Orleans Saints (7-0) New Orleans just might be the most balanced team in the NFL right now. There is even talk of them running the table this season. But, there are still a lot of games left to play. 2. Indianapolis Colts (7-0) They barely got past the San Francisco 49ers, and Peyton [...]

Matt Gentile’s Week Seven NFL Power Rankings
1. New Orleans Saints (6-0) After pounding the New York Giants, New Orleans has shown they have a complete team to go with their explosive offense. Drew Brees is in rare form, so stopping him will not be an easy task. 2. Denver Broncos (6-0) Denver has outscored their opponent 76-10 in the second half [...]
Kevin Roberts’ Week Seven NFL Power Rankings
They wear uniforms that are ugly, yet, strangely awesome and beautiful. Their quarterback has a neck-beard. And they aren’t sexy. While “sexy” gets you style points in today’s NFL, running opposing offenses into the ground and playing, smart, efficient football gets you wins. I doubted the Denver Broncos as the best team in football last [...]
Matt Gentile’s Week Six NFL Power Rankings
1. New York Giants (5-0) Eli Manning only threw 10 passes before heading to the bench in the second half against the Oakland Raiders. The Giants finally get a tougher opponent coming up against the New Orleans Saints. 2. Indianapolis Colts (5-0) Many thought Indianapolis would maybe fall into mediocrity this year. Instead they’re heading [...]
Matt Gentile’s NFL Power Rankings: Week 5
1. New York Giants (4-0) The Giants cruised to an easy victory over the Kansas City Chiefs but the concern is Eli Manning. Plantar faciitis is one of those conditions that nag a player his entire career. 2. Indianapolis Colts (4-0) Yep. Peyton is taking a back seat to his little brother, but he has [...]
