Week 4 Power Rankings

A wild weekend of football rocks the power rankings. David Carr doesn't look like much of a backup in Carolina, making me knock them down 6 spots, with Delhomme's future in doubt. Five touchdowns with 103 yards of offense out of Culpepper make me, I can't believe I'm doing this, bump the Raiders up to the 11 spot. On a neutral field I'd actually pick the Raiders, who went 2-14 last year, to beat the Chargers, who went 14-2 last year. Talk about a tale of two coaching changes! The Browns, Chiefs, and Giants tie the Raiders with the biggest leap with 9 spots, the Eagles and Bears drop 10 spots a piece.
