NFL Power Rankings: Baltimore Ravens and Other Top Teams That Will Keep Rolling in Week 7

In the NFL, there's no such thing as an automatic victory. The league has its good teams and its bad teams, but it's certainly not uncommon for a good team to look bad on any given Sunday.

Rest assured, this is going to happen in Week 7, just as it has in each of the first six weeks of the season.

However, I think there are four top teams who are safe. They're too good, and they have some pretty favorable matchups on their hands.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (No. 9 overall)

The Buccaneers got destroyed by the San Francisco 49ers in Week 5, but they responded in a big way by pulling out a win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 6.

The Bucs' next contest will take place across the pond in London. They are taking on the Chicago Bears, who have had trouble against legitimately good teams this season. The Bucs are legitimately good, so I expect them to handle the Bears.

New Orleans Saints (No. 7 overall)

The Saints looked decidedly human in losing to the Buccaneers in Week 6, but the good news for them is that they now get to go home for the first time since Week 3.

Waiting for the Saints will be the 0-6 Indianapolis Colts. Should be an easy win for the Saints.

Baltimore Ravens (No. 3 overall)

The Ravens might just be the best defensive team in the league, and they have a matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday night.

The Jaguars, for the record, might be the worst offensive team in the league. Against a team like the Ravens, they're doomed.

Green Bay Packers (No. 1 overall)

The Packers are the best team in the NFL, and they'll be going up against a Minnesota Vikings team that is 1-5 and a complete wreck.

They'll also be going up against a rookie quarterback in Christian Ponder. One assumes the Pack will take care of business with no trouble whatsoever.
