Dr. Z's Power Rankings Week 2: Oakland is the big upward mover this week. San Diego takes the heavy slide. Two weeks ago the Raiders and Chargers played each other to a virtual standstill. I am fully aware of this, so you don't have to bring it to my attention...   |

Dr. Z's Forecast In the off-season the one September game you'd have circled in red would have been Jacksonville at Indianapolis this Monday night. The Colts were the consensus choice to represent the AFC in the Super Bowl. The Jaguars had the conference's best record in '99, a gaudy 14-2. But things have changed. |
