Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys at Detroit Lions: 2013 Week 8 NFL Pick
Dallas Cowboys (4-3) at Detroit Lions (4-3) The Lions are going into a bye this week. Ordinarily, teams cover at an above average rate going into a bye, which makes sense because they don’t have any distractions on the horizon. However, the Lions are just small home favorites here and…

Pittsburgh Steelers (2-4) at Oakland Raiders (2-4) The Steelers have been night and day better since the bye. The return of Le’Veon Bell and Heath Miller to full health, giving the Steelers a talented runner and a safety net receiver respectively, have obviously helped, but I also think they are…

San Francisco 49ers (5-2) vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (0-7) at London The Jaguars suck. There’s really no other way to put it. I don’t doubt they’ll pull an upset and win a game sometime this season because, as the 2007 Dolphins and the 2011 Colts will tell you, it’s really hard…

Carolina Panthers (3-3) at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0-6) The Panthers are much better than their record. Only 4 teams (Denver, Kansas City, New Orleans, Seattle) have better point differentials than the Panthers, who are 2nd in the NFL to only Kansas City in points per game allowed. They are moving the…

Last week: 2 (+1) Record: 6-1 I moved the Seahawks down from 1a to 1b after they lost to the Colts in Indianapolis, but the Broncos did the same thing this week and evenly more convincingly, so I’m switching them back on top. I’m kind of disappointed in myself for…

Last week: 1 (-1) Record: 6-1 Remember when people thought the Broncos were definitely going 16-0 because they looked so dominant for the first 4 weeks. It was clear that was an unsustainable level of offense and that their defense would eventually be exposed. I’m kind of disappointed in myself…

Last week: 4 (+0) Record: 5-2 The call that might have cost the Patriots a win was definitely questionable considering the number of times it wasn’t called this season and the stakes in those circumstances. However, it was the right call by the new rule. Bill Belichick took the blame…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: 2013 Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#5)
Last week: 5 (+0) Record: 5-2 Colin Kaepernick had probably his best game since week 1 this week, completing 13 of 21 for 199 yards, while rushing for 68 yards and a touchdown on 11 attempts, against a Tennessee defense that has been solid all season. It’s a positive sign…

Last week: 7 (+1) Record: 7-0 I am aware the Chiefs are the only team in the NFL who has not lost a game. If you want to see rankings were they are #1, go to espn.com/nfl/standings. I’m not interested in parroting back the standings. I’m trying to evaluate each…
