Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#16)
Last week: 17 (-1) The Titans are much improved over a season ago, but they have had good luck with turnovers that will probably not continue going forward. Their +5 turnover differential is tied for 4th best in the NFL and it’s not like they are forcing a ton of…

Last week: 19 (+2) The Dolphins are 3-0, but I haven’t really changed from my pre-season projection for them because none of their wins have surprised me all that much. Win in New Orleans this week and we can talk. Teams win 3 games in a row all the time…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 25 (+7) I was shocked that not only did the Colts beat the 49ers, but they beat them handily in San Francisco. Previously in the Andrew Luck era, they were sweating out close wins against bad teams and getting blown out by good teams, especially on the road.…

Continue reading →: New York Giants: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 16 (-3) Like the Steelers, the Giants can’t be expected to lose the turnover battle by an average of -3 by game. That would be a -48 turnover margin that would blow the modern day record for a season out of the water. The Giants are probably too…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 22 (+2) The Rams have spent a lot of money in the past two off-seasons and it hasn’t really seemed to have gotten them anywhere. Cortland Finnegan and James Laurinaitis, two of their big money guys, are struggling mightily, which puts the Rams in a tough situation. The…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#21)
Last week: 23 (+2) The offense is significantly improved this season, but the defense is now the problem and it’s not going to get better as they’ve lost 3 of their top-4 rush linebackers for the season with injury in the past week. Sam Acho, Lorenzo Alexander, and Alex Okafor,…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 22 (-4) The Steelers had 21 first downs, 2 punts, and 459 total yards to 15, 6, and 258 for the Bears, but lost by 17 because they committed 5 turnovers, 2 which went for touchdowns, without forcing a single turnover. They are now -9 in turnovers on…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 20 (-3) With the exception of the first half against the Redskins, one of the worst defenses in the NFL, the Eagles’ have really not played that well this season. I still believe in Chip Kelly as an NFL coach, but there’s only so much he can do…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 21 (-3) Their defense continues to make it near impossible for them to win games and that’s not something that’s going to change going forward. They’re too young and don’t have another talent. Unfortunately, they won’t get their pick this year, what will probably be a top-10 pick,…

Continue reading →: New York Jets: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 29 (+4) The Jets have plenty of problems, but they have one of the best front 7s in football. The 8 sacks they had against the Bills were no fluke. Damon Harrison and Demario Davis have broken out as first year starters, while David Harris, who was at…
