2013 NFL Power Rankings: Week 9

After a lackluster week in the NFL, there aren't many changes to the top 10 teams in the rankings. Check out where they landed in the Week 9 NotBS Power Rankings.

Rank	Team	Previous Rank	Up/Down	Record	Against The Spread	Next Opponent	The Word
1	Chiefs	1	0	8-0	5-3	at Buffalo	No losses, but starting to look shaky.
2	Colts	2	0	5-2	4-3	at Houston	Couple more wins should lock up the division.
3	Broncos	3	0	7-1	5-3	BYE	If the game is close the Broncos 4th quarter line should be a lock.
4	Seahawks	4	0	7-1	5-3	vs Tampa Bay	Not the same team on the road as they are at home.
5	49ers	5	0	6-2	6-2	BYE	Always nice to have Jacksonville on the schedule.
6	Saints	6	0	6-1	5-2	at New York Jets	Can anyone stop Drew Brees?
7	Packers	7	0	5-2	5-2	vs Chicago	Starting to come into their own despite injuries.
8	Bengals	8	0	6-2	5-2-1	at Miami	Can't figure this offense out, but their defense is the most underrated in football.
9	Patriots	10	1	6-2	4-4	vs Pittsburgh	Only lost one player to a season ending injury last week, so things are looking up.
10	Lions	14	4	5-3	4-4	BYE	Comeback ballsy wins always feel better going into the Bye.
11	Chargers	12	1	4-3	5-1-1	at Washington	I feel like every game the Chargers have played has been at 10 am PST
12	Cowboys	9	-3	4-4	7-1	vs Minnesota	Check off another heart breaking loss.
13	Bears	11	-2	4-3	1-5-1	at Green Bay	Cutler may be back soon, is that a good thing?
14	Titans	13	-1	3-4	4-2-1	at St. Louis	A week to collect their thoughts before going to St. Louis on a short week.
15	Dolphins	15	0	3-4	3-4	vs Cincinnati	Kings of the 1st half. Jokers of the 2nd.
16	Texans	19	3	2-5	1-6	vs Indianapolis	Case Keenum gets his chance on the big stage, and also holds the fate of Kubiak in his hands.
17	Panthers	23	6	4-3	4-3	vs Atlanta	Noone wants to see this team come January.
18	Cardinals	28	10	4-4	5-3	BYE	This defense is legit, that 6 seed is wide open.
19	Raiders	26	7	3-4	4-3	vs Philadelphia	This isn't there year, but they aren't the jokes of the league anymore.
20	Ravens	18	-2	3-4	3-4	at Cleveland	May they actually factored Ray Rice into the playbook during the Bye.
21	Eagles	16	-5	3-5	3-5	at Oakland	Michael Vick vs. Terrell Pryor would have been way more fun.
22	Falcons	17	-5	2-5	1-5-1	at Carolina	They are as bad as we thought they were.
23	Jets	20	-3	4-4	5-3	vs New Orleans	Can they slow down Drew Brees?
24	Bills	21	-3	3-5	5-3	vs Kansas City	Tougher team when they are at home.
25	Redskins	24	-1	2-5	2-5	vs San Diego	I'm only offended by Mike Shanahan's playcalling, not the team name.
26	Steelers	22	-4	2-5	2-5	at New England	Time to bottom out for the Steelers.
27	Rams	27	0	3-5	3-4-1	vs Tennessee	Maybe Kellen Clemens should have been starting all season?
28	Giants	29	1	2-6	3-5	BYE	They can't make the playoffs, they can't make the playoffs, they can't make the playoffs.
29	Browns	25	-4	3-5	4-4	vs Baltimore	Throw Jason Campbell in there and they can actually move the ball a little bit.
30	Vikings	31	1	1-6	2-5	at Dallas	Poor Adrian Peterson.
31	Jaguars	30	-1	0-8	1-7	BYE	Bad.
32	Buccaneers	32	0	0-7	1-6	at Seattle	Bad.

AP3

Miami +3 over Cincinnati

Lock Alert!

This Miami team is due. Losing stud receiver Brandon Gibson hurt, but helped at the same time as the Dolphins will be forced to actually use Mike Wallace. The Dolphins boast a strong defense which should be able to shut down a less than stellar Bengals offense, you know barring the fact that they double A.J. Green.

MLZ

Cincinnati -3 over Miami

I don't trust either of these teams, but the Bengals seem to grind out and win games. The Dolphins have been trending downward and now have lost Brandon Gibson. Cincy's defense should be able to stop the Dolphins offense and cover this game.
