Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 18 (-2) With the trade deadline upcoming this week, the Rams have reportedly made several veterans available for trade. It makes sense that one of these would be Steven Jackson because he’s really their only veteran. He’s got the option to opt out of his contract after this…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#21)
Last week: 21 (+0) Record: 4-3 After going 10-1 in an 11 game stretch in games decided by less than a touchdown, the Cardinals have lost 2 straight games of that nature. They must have “forgotten how to win.” Well, before that 11 game stretch, they were 2-8 in their…

Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 22 (+6) Record: 3-4 If the Titans beat the Colts in Tennessee this week, the Titans will be 4-4 in the crappy AFC and then anything can happen. Given that I picked them to make the playoffs before the season, I obviously would like to see that happen,…

Continue reading →: New York Jets: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 23 (+2) Record: 3-4 I’m impressed with the way the Jets have bounced back from losing Darrelle Revis and then getting shut out at home by the 49ers. Since then, they’ve covered in 3 straight games, hanging with the Texans, blowing out the Colts, and hanging with the…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 24 (-4) Record: 3-4 I thoroughly enjoyed last week’s Bills/Titans game between the two worst defenses in the league. Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Hasselbeck looked like franchise quarterbacks. Chris Johnson looked like it was 2009. I thought the Bills lost the game in the first half when they…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 25 (-1) Record: 2-4 So apparently you can shove a receiver out of bounds and that’s not PI, but if he comes back in bounds and catching a game tying touchdown, that’s a penalty. I picked the Buccaneers last week, so obviously I was pissed about that. That…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
Last week: 26 (-4) Record: 2-4 The Bengals are the favorite to be this year’s team to goes from out of the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer, but the Lions are right there in the loaded NFC at 2-4. The issue is that both yards per play and rate…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#27)
Last week: 23 (-4) Record: 3-4 Before the season, I picked the Bengals to be this year’s team to go from in the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer because I thought they were the weakest of the 12 playoff teams last year, coming in tied for the fewest wins…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
Last week: 27 (-1) Record: 1-5 After last week’s loss to the Cowboys, which dropped them to 1-5 on the season, Cam Newton said in a post game interview “something’s gotta change.” Well, maybe this will appease him. GM Marty Hurney was fired Monday Morning. For Hurney, it was about…

Continue reading →: Cleveland Browns: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
Last week: 31 (+2) Record: 1-6 Despite their loss, the Browns move up. Last week, I mentioned I consdered putting the Browns ahead of the rest of the 1 win teams and some of the 2 win teams because they’ve been competitive in every game despite their record (worst in…
