Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: Week 12 NFL Power Rankings (#2)
Last week: 6 (+4) The 49ers would be #1 in these Power Rankings if I knew, first that Colin Kaepernick was going to be their starter for the rest of the season and second that his performance on Monday Night was not a fluke. We’ll know the answer to both…

Last week: 4 (+1) Record: 7-3 The Patriots suffered a serious injury last week, losing Rob Gronkowski for at least 4 weeks with a broken arm. Gronkowski is an incredible football player and one of the top offensive players in the NFL and his absence obviously hurts. However, no one…

Last week: 2 (-2) Record: 7-3 I think we can all agree Jay Cutler is pretty valuable. He doesn’t put up huge numbers, but his ability to succeed in spite of a horrific offensive line and avoid sacks is so valuable to this team. Jason Campbell isn’t a terrible backup.…

Last week: 3 (-2) Record: 9-1 Michael Turner is so useless. He’s averaging 3.1 YPC over his last 5 games with just one carry longer than 13. On the season, he’s failed to convert on goal-to-go carries over 75% of the time. He’s also only caught 10 passes on the…

Last week: 5 (-1) Record: 7-3 Right now, this is one of 6 upper echelon teams right now. They could be higher, but I’m putting Atlanta ahead of them because they won head-to-head and have a 2 game better record than them, but I think if these teams were to…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens: Week 12 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 7 (+0) Record: 8-2 The Ravens are 8-2, but I’m still not sold. They’re only +61 in points differential and most of that came from two wins against Cincinnati and crappy Oakland. They’re 6-1 in games decided by a touchdown or less and they haven’t had a particularly…

Last week: 11 (+3) Record: 6-4 In order to go on a run, you have to be able to win ugly and win a game that you probably weren’t supposed to win. They have now won 5 of 6 since the bye and this close win wasn’t a fluke. It…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: Week 12 NFL Power Rankings (#9)
Last week: 9 (-1) Record: 6-4 The Colts’ loss to the Patriots last week was a definite sign they haven’t quite arrived yet. They’ve beaten up on a bunch of bad teams and only have 1 win by more than a touchdown and that was against a 1-win Jacksonville team…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 12 NFL Power Rankings (#10)
Record: 6-4 Last week: 9 (-1) I have no idea what Mike Tomlin was thinking leaving Byron Leftwich out there when he was clearly hurt. There’s no real difference in talent level between him and Charlie Batch; in fact, I thought Batch should have been the starter in the first…
