Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 7 (+0) Record: 6-0 The Chiefs are doing their best 2011 49ers impression, everything from the easy schedule and the unsustainable turnover margin to Alex Smith under center and a dominant stop unit (opponents are moving the chains against them at a 62% rate, which leads the NFL).…

Last week: 8 (+0) Record: 4-2 The Colts’ defense got exposed by a suddenly dynamic San Diego offense, but I’m not holding that loss against them much. It was an obvious trap game between a home win over the Seahawks and an impending reunion with Peyton Manning and the undefeated…

Last week: 9 (+0) Record: 4-2 The Lions are 4-2 despite playing on the road in 4 of their first 6 games. Looking at their schedule going forward, it’s conceivable they could only be underdogs two more times (home for Green Bay, @ Chicago). They host Cincinnati, Dallas, Tampa Bay,…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#10)
Last week: 11 (+1) Record: 4-2 First the Bengals beat the Packers. Then they lost to the Browns. Then they beat the Patriots. Then they beat the Bills. They seem to be having let down games after every big win. For that reason, we don’t really know that much about…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#11)
Last week: 10 (-1) Record: 3-3 The Cowboys would be higher on this list if it wasn’t for the sheer volume of injuries they’ve suffered. DeMarcus Ware, Jay Ratliff, Jason Hatcher, and Anthony Spencer were supposed to be their starters on the defensive line this season. Spencer is out for…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#12)
Last week: 12 (+0) Record: 3-3 Despite the loss of veteran leaders Ray Lewis and Ed Reed, the Ravens have not missed a beat defensively. The value of Lewis and Reed was mostly intangible towards the end of their time with the Ravens, as they became ineffective on the field.…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#13)
Last week: 13 (+0) It was obvious to anyone watching a depleted Giants team move the chains with ease against them, but the Bears defense is a shell of its former self. Last season, it was a dominant unit that could also take the ball away from you. Now if…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#14)
Last week: 15 (+1) Record: 3-3 The Titans hung tough in Seattle and were just the 2nd team to cover the spread there over the past 2 seasons. Ryan Fitzpatrick is obviously a limiting factor for this team and, to be fair, Jake Locker probably would have been as well…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#15)
Last week: 17 (+2) Record: 2-3 The Panthers seem to make a habit out of blowing out bad teams and suffering gut wrenching losses to solid or better teams. There’s plenty of talent on this football team. They’re moving the chains at a 79% rate, while their opponents are doing…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#16)
Last week: 14 (+2) Record: 2-4 Do Texans fans still think TJ Yates is better than Matt Schaub? I never argued Matt Schaub was great or anything, but the switch to TJ Yates was obviously not going to provide an upgrade and he proved that as he completed 12 of…
