2013 Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

Last week: 31 (+0)

Record: 0-6

Last week, Football Outsiders called the Buccaneers the best 0-5 team (in their history, since 1991) in terms of DVOA. I don’t have the historical context to determine whether or not that was true, but it made sense and they were definitely better than their record would have suggested. Every single team they had faced was 3-3 or better and 3 of the losses came by 3 points or less. An 8 point loss in Atlanta didn’t help their DVOA, but they are still fairly high in DVOA in comparison to their record, as they come in 24th. They’ll win a few games.

Last week: 32 (+0)

Record: 0-7

The Jaguars suck. I don’t know what else to say. It’s hard to come up with something to say about them every week. They’ve lost all 7 games by double figures and the only two games they’ve played that were within 16 points were against two bottom-5 teams in these Power Rankings (Oakland, St. Louis). They go to London this week to play San Francisco and will almost definitely go into the bye at 0-8. It’s very, very hard to go 0-16 though, so they’ll probably win a game, against someone like Tennessee, Arizona, Cleveland, Buffalo, or Houston.
