Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#16)
Last week: 19 (+3) Record: 5-4 It might sound crazy, but if the 49ers lose in New Orleans this week, and the Cardinals win in Jacksonville, they’ll have the same record at 6-4. I don’t expect that to hold until the end of the season, but the Cardinals are a…

Last week: 18 (+1) Record: 4-5 The Ravens essentially staved off elimination at home last week, beating Cincinnati in a game that never should have gone to overtime. They are now 26-4 at home since 2010 and, as average as they’ve been this year, they are still 3-1 there, with…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 17 (-1) Record: 3-7 The Bills have 6 games remaining and will probably be favored in 5 of them, including 3 at home, where they have been very good, beating Carolina and Baltimore and almost beating Kansas City, New England, and Cincinnati. EJ Manuel struggled in his first…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 22 (+3) Record: 5-5 One of the weirder streaks in the NFL is that the Eagles have lost 10 straight home games, four off of the all-time record. Yes, they haven’t been a very good team over the past 2 seasons, but they also have won 6 of…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 14 (-6) Record: 5-5 It’s arguable the Saints’ win over the Cowboys was the most lopsided contest in NFL history. While the Saints set the NFL record with 40 first downs, the Cowboys ran just 43 plays. The Saints’ +31 first down margin was the best in NFL…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 21 (-1) Record: 2-7 Despite their 2-7 record, the Texans actually rank 12th in rate of moving the chains differential, moving the chains at a 75% rate, as opposed to 72% for their opponents. They probably aren’t as good as that (Football Outsiders has them 29th in DVOA),…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 23 (+0) Record: 3-6 The Redskins are at 3-6, which is right where they were last season when they ripped off 7 straight wins and won the division. The difference this year is that their remaining schedule is harder and their team isn’t as good. Last season, they’re…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 24 (+0) Record: 3-6 Dick LeBeau is now 19-2 against rookie quarterbacks in his career after befuddling EJ Manuel and the Bills last week, in a 23-10 loss that wasn’t even as close as that (Buffalo’s touchdown was in garbage time). Manuel completed 22 of 39 for 155…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins: 2013 Week 11 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 25 (+0) Record: 4-5 The Incognito/Martin situation and the loss of two starters on the offensive line were a big part of it, but the Dolphins’ loss to the Buccaneers was largely a result of this team’s lack of talent. GM Jeff Ireland should be fired, but not…
