Power rankings: Packers still No. 1; Seahawks crack top 20

Counting down from No. 32? No. We'll start at the top and work our way down in our weekly power rankings:


1.		Discount Double Check doesn't guarantee to back-to-back Super Bowls.

2.	$tex-mark-1-cl.gif$	Hard to find a reason why Houston won't be better this season than a year ago.

3.		Not a joke: Wes Welker has endorsed Depends and hair transplants.

4		Ravens would've kicked themselves over last year's Pats playoff loss except they missed.

5.		Matt Ryan 0-3 in the playoffs, NFL equivalent of best golfer never to win a major.

6.		WR Dez Bryant's behavior rules don't require raising a hand to go to the bathroom. Yet.

7.		Bengals offense sounds like seasoning when Dalton peppers a defense.

8.		Winning ever get old? Nah. Not when the old get to win like Tom Coughlin.

9.		Steelers so old that dirt is getting offended by the comparison.

10.		Hey Alex Smith, Earth just called. It's waiting for you to fall back to it.

11.		Andy Reid's mustache is getting long enough to give its own press conferences.

12.		Seahawks hoping that cutting Kellen Winslow doesn't leave their wins low.

13.		Mutiny on the Bountywas a movie; mutiny over the bounties was a distinct possibiliy in La.

14.		Peyton Manning follows natural equestrian development, going from Colt to Bronco.

15.		Not sure if Prince Fielder would help Lions' D-line depth, but he'd certainly add width.

16.		Jets QBs threw to garbage cans in training camp. Perfect practice for this receiving corps.

17.		Nope. Quarterback Jay Cutler's not any more likable this year.

18.		Titans' Locker room now a proper noun. It belongs to second-year QB from Ferndale.

19.		Why not give Norv Turner a 1,347th chance to show he can be a good NFL head coach?

20.		Carson Palmer resents Russell Wilson. Another NFL QB with two last names.

21.		Fitting the Cards have a Skelton quarterback given the bare-bones situation on the O-line.

22.		Very possible the high point of this Dolphins season will be cutting Chad Johnson.

23.		Newton's law states everything eventually falls back to earth. Even Cam.

24.		How can you name Romeo your coach and not expect a tragic outcome?

25.		When does a mad rookie QB sound like a droid? When RG III's P.O.'d.

26.		Bills certainly due. They haven't made the playoffs since 1995.

27.		Anyone who says Jags will have a winning record if full of Mularkey. Mike Mularkey.

28.		Everything Vikes' need to know requires knowing about Adrian Peterson's knee.

29.		Rookie QB's meals can be made to sound like lawn care: Weeden feed.

30.		A shame NBA's Stephen Jackson has gotten so many playoff games, Steven Jackson so few.

31.		A control-freak college coach always works in the NFL. Ask Nick Saban.

32.		HBO's Luck cancelled after a single season. Indy's Luck will have longer shelf life.
