Continue reading →: New England Patriots: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#4)
Last week: 6 (+2) The Patriots’ 23-3 win reminded me of how they used to win games when they were winning Super Bowls. That’s definitely getting a little ahead of ourselves, but the defense looks for real. I know the Buccaneers’ offense is terrible, but holding anyone to 3 points…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#5)
Last week: 2 (-3) The 49ers get a pass from me for losing in Seattle because the Seahawks are near impossible to beat at home and they get a pass for last week because they were without Vernon Davis and they were very possibly distracted by the Aldon Smith situation.…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#6)
Last week: 5 (-1) The Packers may be 1-2, but they’ve lost to the 49ers and Bengals (two other highly rated teams) in easily winnable games, so I’m not going to hold it against them very much. Their bye is early this year, as they go on bye this week,…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 15 (+8) The Bengals’ win last week was the definition of a statement win. Not only did they beat the Packers, but they did it despite losing the turnover battle by 2. Teams win just 17.9% of the time when losing the turnover battle by 2 historically. I…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#8)
Last week: 7 (-1) The Cowboys have more wins than the rest of the NFC East combined and are the only team in the division to win a game outside of the division. They look like the clear favorites, though the loss of Anthony Spencer hurts. It especially hurts him…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#9)
Last week: 8 (-1) Nate Burleson’s injury is a pretty ridiculous story, but it also might be a blessing in disguise for the Lions. Burleson’s numbers might look good (19 catches for 239 yards), but he has one of the easiest jobs in football, with Calvin Johnson opposite him, Matt…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#10)
Last week: 9 (-1) The Bears are 3-0, but they were favored in all 3 games. Win in Detroit this week and we’ll talk about seriously moving them up. Their “vaunted” defense has forced a league low 9 punts all season. Yes, they have 11 takeaways, but their combined punts…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#11)
Last week: 14 (+3) The one week I give up on the Panthers, this happens. They looked exactly as I expected they would this season last week and then some. They could easily be 3-0 right now and though my 12-win prediction for them isn’t coming true, last week’s win…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#12)
Last week: 13 (-1) Any talk that Alex Smith is better than Colin Kaepernick is absurd. Alex Smith hasn’t completed a single pass outside the hash marks longer than 10 yards downfield all season. He’s attempted just 18 of 105 passes more than 10 yards through the air and just…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens: 2013 Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#13)
Last week: 10 (-3) The Ravens blew out the Texans last week, but they still have problems moving the football, as 14 of their 30 points came directly off returns. The two teams were pretty even in terms of first downs, total yards of offense, and punts so it was…
