AFC Power Rankings - Week 6

The Elite

• (1a) New England - Let's see how they handle their first tough opponent, an emotionally charged 5-0 Dallas side.
• (1b) Indianapolis - Will have the opportunity to gain sole possession of the top spot week nine against the Patriots
• (3) Pittsburgh - They are inching closer towards the top, you have to believe they would be able to beat New England or Indianapolis on a good day.

The Good

• (4) Tennessee - When you have a good defense and can run the ball well you are in good shape
• (5) Jacksonville - A couple nice wins on the road, A couple big division games coming up
• (6) Baltimore - Should be playing better, dropping those division games might cost them down the road
• (7) San Diego - A 41-3 drubbing of the Broncos in Denver shows they are ready to begin the 2007 season, finally.

The Bad

• (8) Houston - They needed a magical performance from their kicker (5 fg's, including a 57 yard game winner) to beat the worst team in the AFC at home
• (9) Oakland - They have already matched last seasons win total. Don't be surprised if they can triple that total before this campaign is over.
• (10) Cleveland - They get Miami, a bye week and then St Louis. They should end up 4-3.
• (11) Kansas City - No consistency, they beat the Chargers and follow it up with a stinker at home to Jacksonville
• (12) Denver - They've lost three in a row and were lucky to win their first two. They need to turn things around quickly
• (13) Cincinnati - Yeah they've played good teams, but your record is what it is, and it's not good enough

The Ugly

• (14) Buffalo - How in the world did they lose that game? Well, if you only score three points on offense, you won't win many games.
• (15) New York - Their only win came against the team right below them, it'll be a long season for a team that foolishly had playoff aspirations.
• (16) Miami - The effort and improvement are there, but the win column is still empty.
