*3  New York Giants (1) - The Giants didn't do anything wrong to lose control of the number one spot outside of Eli Manning suffering an injury that may or may not sideline him this coming Sunday.  Even if he plays, there is a chance he won't be 100 percent.  Still, he's a warrior.  The average odds to derive at our 2009 NFL Week 5 Power Rankings came in at $682 compared to around the $500 range last week.  The Giants would pay $800 to win the 2010 Super Bowl at SBG Global.
