Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: 2013 Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#12)
Last week: 7 (-5) Record: 2-2 I thought the Bengals had finally broken through and gotten their signature win, beating the Packers despite losing the turnover battle, after going 1-11 against playoff teams in 2011 and 2012. However, last week they lose convincingly to the Browns. It’s possible that the…

Last week: 13 Record: 2-2 The Ravens’ loss in Buffalo isn’t shocking. Since 2010, the Ravens are 25-3 at home and outscore opponents by an average of 10 points per game and 17-15 on the road, outscoring opponents by 1 points per game. The addition of Eugene Monroe at left…

Last week: 18 (+4) Record: 3-1 The Colts had 7 wins by 7 points or fewer against teams that finished with 7 wins or fewer in 2012. For the first two games of the season, it looked like the same old Colts, barely beating a bad Oakland team at home…

Last week: 15 Record: 2-2 The Texans aren’t as bad as they’ve looked in the past two weeks. They led a very good Seattle team 20-6 at home before failing to close it out (so much for their 7-0 record in games decided by a touchdown or less meaning they…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: 2013 Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#16)
Last week: 16 Record: 3-1 The Titans would be higher on this list if Jake Locker weren’t out for 4-6 weeks with a hip problem. That hurts their playoff chances. Fortunately, they have a strong supporting cast, particularly on defense, where the NFL’s worst unit in 2012, in terms of…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins: 2013 Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#17)
Last week: 17 Record: 3-1 I said last week that starting 3-0 didn’t necessarily mean you were a good team. 22 of 32 teams won 3+ games in a row at some point last season, including the Dolphins, who finished 7-9. The Dolphins certainly didn’t look for real in a…

Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons: 2013 Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 14 (-4) Record: 1-3 The Falcons may have made it a touchdown game with the Patriots, but it wasn’t nearly as close as that would have suggested. After the Patriots scored their last touchdown, giving them a 30-13 lead, the Falcons’ win probability was about 1%, with the…

Last week: 26 (+7) Record: 2-2 The job Head Coach Mike McCoy has done with the offense in his first season with the team is amazing. Despite a largely replacement level supporting cast around a declining Philip Rivers, McCoy has the Chargers moving the ball at an incredible rate, moving…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: 2013 Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 21 (+1) Record: 2-2 Daryl Washington returns this week from suspension and it’s pretty ridiculous that he gets to play while Von Miller continues to be suspended. Not only did Washington fail a drug test, he is also accused of assaulting his girlfriend and breaking her collarbone. He…

Continue reading →: New York Giants: 2013 Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#21)
Last week: 18 (-3) Record: 0-4 Like with the Steelers, the Giants have not won a game and are ranked ahead of teams that have won games. Again, if you want teams sorted by record, go to ESPN.com’s NFL Standings (or their NFL Power Rankings because they’re pretty much the…
