Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
All of the sharps predicted an improvement from the Lions and a decline from the Vikings, to the point where the Lions were 5 point favorites week 1 and had a higher over/under win total. The Lions’ 10 point victory over the Vikings is making those sharps look pretty smart.…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
I thought the Colts would be improved over last season (in talent, not record), but barely beating the Raiders, after winning 7 games by 7 points or less against 7 win or worse teams last season, doesn’t inspire any confidence. Andrew Luck looked good, completing 18 of 23 for 178…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#27)
The Bills are one of several teams that blew leads against superior opponents this week and this one has to hurt the most, not just because it was the Patriots, but because they were the only team this week to win the turnover battle and lose the game. Winning the…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
I had the Chargers playing the overrated Texans close, as the Texans were playing in a very late game for them (from Central time) and they were missing both Antonio Smith and Ed Reed, so I’m not surprised by the final score. However, the Chargers have to be kicking themselves…

Continue reading →: New York Jets: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
The Jets won week 1, but no team that won was closer to losing. Lavonte David’s penalty was the difference between a near impossible 62 yard field goal and a makeable 47 yard field goal. I’m not trying to take anything away from the Jets, whose defense did a great…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#30)
I thought the Browns would be competitive with the Dolphins on the strength of their front 7 and their offensive line, but Brandon Weeden’s poor performance made that impossible, as he completed 26 of 53 for 289 yards, 1 touchdown, and 3 interceptions. Their secondary also did not look good.…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#31)
The Jaguars were essentially shut out in their opener, only scoring on a safety. Kansas City is a tough defense, but the fact is that Blaine Gabbert remains one of, if not the worst starting quarterbacks in the NFL. He completed just 16 of 35 for 121 yards and 2…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders: 2013 Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#32)
The Raiders kept it close with the Colts and could have won. However, the Colts had 7 wins by 7 or less against 7 win or worse teams last season, so that’s not as impressive as it seems. The Colts just aren’t as good as they seem. Even the 2-14…

WR Julian Edelman (New England) Percent owned (ESPN): 4.2% Julian Edelman caught 7 passes for 79 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Patriots’ opener. Someone needs to catch passes for Tom Brady and he seems more comfortable throwing to Edelman than any of the rookies. Edelman is worth picking up…
