One reply on “NFL Week 10 Power Rankings”
Watching New Orleans play bad and still score 30 points and win by 10 points last week makes you wonder if there is anyone out there that can beat them. I highly doubt they will run the table as there will be some tough road games down the stretch, but you still have to wonder.
