The Cincinnati Bengals make the biggest move upwards. The team they beat, Pittsburgh, had one of the biggest falls, though they remain in the top 10 and offer great value.
It's amazing that the 3-0 Denver Broncos have gotten such little respect in the Gambling911.com 2009 NFL Power Rankings. They move up a notch just to number 20 and were below teams like 0-3 Tennessee and the Seattle Seahawks. Go figure!
