DTTWSB Week 6 NFL Power Rankings

Oh what a week it was last Sunday. We saw some surprising performances from a few teams. Due to those surprising performances, we have some new arrivals in the DTTWSB NFL power rankings. Will these teams last? I have no clue to be honest, but they've earned their spot so far this season. Let's not waste anymore time. Here are my power rankings going into Week 6 of the NFL season.

1. Green Bay Packers (5-0): Is there any other clear cut favorite in this league? With a decent schedule, we have to look at this team as a 14-win ball club. They have a terrible Rams team coming into town this week, we may see 50 points on the board.

2. Baltimore Ravens (3-1): It's important that Baltimore used the bye week to refresh and regroup. They're going to need a little more from quarterback Joe Flacco, but as of right now I don't see a more balanced team in the AFC.

3. New England Patriots (4-1): Last week we saw something we hadn't seen from the Patriots in awhile...a running game. If they can consistently be a balanced attack it will be virtually impossible to stop this offensive juggernaut.

4. New Orleans Saints (4-1): All they do is win win win no matter what. Even those some of these games have been close contests, Drew Brees and that offense finds a way to bail them out. I'm still skeptical of that run defense down the stretch though.

5. Detroit Lions (5-0): All is good in Detroit Rock City as the Lions keep coming up big in big spots. They haven't been 5-0 since the 1950s! It's going to be a hyped up crowd when they take on the 4-1 49ers this Sunday.

6. San Diego Chargers (4-1): Going into the bye week, the Chargers have quietly started the season 4-1. This is probably their best start in about a decade. In my opinion this is a flawed team, but if they keep winning, you'll keep finding them in the rankings.

7. Pittsburgh Steelers (3-2): Pittsburgh definitely flexed its muscles last Sunday when they destroyed a decent Titans team. The offensive line needs to continue to get better so Big Ben isn't always on the run. With two easy games coming up, they'll be in prime position when they take on the Pats on the 30th.

8. Buffalo Bills (4-1): Nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. This is the first time in DTTWSB history that they're making a power rankings appearance. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been incredible for them. He's making all the right decisions to keep this team rolling.

9. San Francisco 49ers (4-1): It's been a real long time since the Niners have been mentioned as one of the best teams in the NFC. With the way they're playing it looks like they're going to run away with the NFC West crown. I do have my eye on Alex Smith though...

10. New York Giants (3-2): Last Sunday was a terrible game for Big Blue. They could have easily gone to 4-1; instead they decided to wet the bed at home against a below average team. It's going to tough for them to bounce back as they take on the pesky Bills.
