Here they are, the Power Rankings for week 10. Enjoy
The Drum Roll:
Well Denver fans are not very friendly, went to my LSB (again bc the wont show the phfins on TV :boohoo:) and by the time I arrived, seats were very limited except for a long bar like table in the middle of the restaurant. Seated at it was one lonely Denver fan, I figured I could sit all the way at the other end and not bother him. He took one look at my RB jersey and said, "Sorry this whole table is taken." I thought he had a large party coming so I took another table even further away from the screen. In the end only one other person showed up at the table. Later on the manager turned a screen right in front of me to the Dolphins game. So I got to give him a "Sucks to be you" look.
Later and GO FINS!!!!!

Comment:The Dolphins have a couple of ugly losses, but they are 2-1 in the AFC East and are one fluke Brett Favre touchdown pass from being undefeated in the division. (TG)

Comment: Don't look now but they're in the playoff mix. Chad Pennington has really played well the past two weeks. Tony Sparano is doing a wonderful job.

Comment:
The story I read said that 13 of the team's points came from turnovers. I've never been able to figure this out. At what point in the field does a turnover qualify as a turnover that sets up points? Say, for instance, you intercept a pass on your own five. And then drive the length of the field for a TD. Does the turnover get credit for setting up the points, or does too much length separate them? I'm not, kidding, I really don't know what the rules are that govern this thing.

Looking for a sleeper team to emerge in the second half? Don't count out the Dolphins, who "earned" their favorable schedule thanks to last year's 1-15 atrocity. In their final eight games, Miami has games against each AFC East rival ... but the other five games are against the Seahawks, Raiders, Rams, 49ers and Chiefs -- teams with a combined record of 9-31. THIS WEEK: vs. Seahawks (2-6)javascript:void(0);

Dolphins Rank: 22 (-)
Comment: Dolphins linebacker Joey Porter had a busy week, getting a penalty called on his alma mater on Saturday and then getting into a war of words with Brandon Marshall. Porter has 11.5 sacks in eight games, and as long as he keeps playing this well, he can talk all he wants.

Comment: Tony Sparano deserves all of the praise that's been heaped on him this week. He completely outcoached Mike Shanahan last week. However, he's got to act like he's been there a bit. And now the problem is can he keep his team focused as they try to deal with "success"? The Fins are just 12-29-1 ATS in their last 42 home games. This is how good the Dolphins (5-2 ATS run) have been: every team that Miami has played this year is .500 or better, with the exception of a talented San Diego squad.
