San Diego Chargers (3-3) at Jacksonville Jaguars (0-6) What an accomplishment for the Jacksonville Jaguars! They covered the spread last week for the first time and this season, only losing to the Broncos by a mere 16 points. In all seriousness, the Jaguars could be kind of flat after putting…

St. Louis Rams (3-3) at Carolina Panthers (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…

Last week: 1 (+0) Record: 6-0 I can’t blame the Broncos for not getting up for the Jaguars before a big game with the Colts on deck. Even still, they won by double digits. What’s been especially impressive about the Broncos’ start is how they’ve done this without winning the…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#2)
Last week: 3 (+0) Record: 5-1 The Seahawks played one of the weirder games this week so I don’t have much to say. They didn’t blow out the Titans like they normally do to teams at home, but the Titans are a solid team with a strong defense and they…

Last week: 3 (+0) Record: 5-1 The Saints are no longer undefeated, but they lost in a game that was literally as close as could be and on to the road to another top-5 team. They should still finish with 12 or 13 wins and be this year’s team to…

Last week: 4 (+0) Record: 5-1 Yes, I’m aware the Patriots beat the Saints. Yes, I’m aware the Saints are higher than the Patriots here. And this is coming from a Patriots fan. The Patriots won that game by as small of a margin as possible and the game undoubtedly…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#5)
Last week: 5 (+0) Record: 4-2 Looking at the 49ers’ schedule, it’s easy to see how they could start ripping off wins. They face Tennessee and Jacksonville before a bye and then off of the bye they host the Panthers. They do play Seattle later in the season, but they…

Last week: 6 (+0) Record: 3-2 Last week I spoke about the Packers having disproportionally more injuries than most teams over the past few years. Things went from bad to worse in this aspect for the Packers against the Ravens. Randall Cobb was put on short-term injured reserve and will…

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).…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: 2013 Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#8)
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…
