MMSF Power 10 Week Twelve

Every Tuesday here on the Blog - and later on the show - we unveil our Matt Mc's Sports Fix NFL Power 10. This is a snapshot of the top tier teams in the league based on the games played until this point. Do you agree or disagree with these rankings? Please email your thoughts to mattmcsportsfix@yahoo.com.

1. New England 9-2 (1) - Tom Brady had a perfect QB rating on Thanksgiving against Detroit. Again, doesn't this team and this season remind you a lot of 2001, 2003, 2004....?
   
2. New York Jets 9-2 (2) - The Jets have done what is asked of them, win games. The finicky fans, however, are all worried because New York has yet to play a full four quarters. With nine wins in eleven games, isn't that a good thing? Oh by the way, our No. 1 plays our No. 2 next Monday!
   
3. Atlanta 9-2 (7) - A home win over Green Bay, a five game win streak, and just a trip to Tampa Bay keeping the Dirty Birds from no worse than 13 wins. Things are good right now for Mike Smith's team. One thing to keep an eye on with Atlanta is the fact teams can run on them. The only problem for the NFL, so few teams actually run the ball anymore.
   
4. Baltimore 8-3 (6) - Are you like me? Did you draft Ray Rice in your fantasy football league this year? If you are then you feel the same disdain for Rice as I do. The Ravens as a team had a nice win over Tampa at home on Sunday though. So there's that.
   
5. Pittsburgh 8-3 (4) - The offensive line is in shambles, Ben Roethlisburger hurt his foot, and it seems like the secondary has taken a step back. Plus, Stevie Johnson!!! Ohhh no he dropped it?! These issues could cause a late season collapse, or another patented late season Steelers run.
   
6. New Orleans 8-3 (8) - An ugly, lucky, win at Dallas is still considered a win. The Saints are cruising and will take away a playoff bid from a potential 10 plus win team (Giants?)
   
7. Chicago 8-3 (10) - Jay Cutler, or as he was known in the McClusky household on Sunday night, 'Jay #$%# Cutler, threw 4 TDs and had zero picks against Philadelphia. Congrats. The Bears changed my mind about them in their win over Philly. The thing is, their schedule just gets worse and I still can't seem them winning 10 games.
   
8. Philadelphia 7-4 (3) - I don't so much mind that the real Birds of the NFL lost in Chicago, it's the whole giving up 31 points to a crap Bears offense. The Eagles were playing without Asante Samuel and Ellis Hobbs, both corners were out with injury, but there really isn't a plausible excuse for that game. Very disconcerting for Philly fans.
   
9. Green Bay 7-4 (5) - Aaron Rodgers played brilliantly in a tough road loss to Atlanta and, despite the L, further proved to me that the Packers are going to be a tough out in the playoffs. Think about this, the offensive MVP for the league and the defensive MVP (Clay Matthews Jr.) for the league could both potentially play on the same team.
   
10. Kansas City 7-4 (NR) - Which QB has thrown for 22 TDs and just 4 picks on the season? This guy, we'll give you that, yes, he is a guy, has thrown 18 TDs and just one interception in the last seven games! Clearly it's Matt Cassel as this is the Chiefs spot. Still shocking though, right?
