Power Rankings for Week 7

Each week after Monday Night game(s) has concluded, I’ll  publish my list of NFL power rankings.  Here is the pecking order for Week 7.

—

1) Green Bay Packers  - Aaron Rodgers completed 80% of his passes against the Vikings.

2) New Orleans Saints -  These Saints are not merciful.

3)  San Francisco 49ers  - No Harbaugh fisticuffs this week.

4) New England Patriots  - Bye … bye … Theo Epstein.

5)  Pittsburgh Steelers  - Steelers have not been dominant, but they ARE 5-2.

6) Chicago Bears  -   The Bears won’t win 13 this year, but they’re not going away, either.

7) Baltimore Ravens  - Isn’t Joe Flacco supposed to be part of the new, young breed?
