Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#15)
Last week: 16 (+1) Record: 3-3 Whether or not the Steelers can make the playoffs really depends on when Troy Polamalu gets back. Their win last week was impressive, until you consider that the Bengals are very good. Without him, they’re a pretty average team overall, but with him, they…

Last week: 15 (-1) Record: 3-3 The Cowboys haven’t been playing well lately, but they get the Giants in Dallas this week and if they win, they’ll hold the season series and be tied with the Giants in the loss column. However, they’ll have to do it without middle linebacker…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#17)
Last week: 17 (+0) Record: 3-4 This team is awfully snakebitten. They’ve lost 4 games all by a touchdown or fewer and all games in which they lost significant players to injury. Week 2, they lost Josh Wilson, Brian Orakpo, and Adam Carriker in a loss to St. Louis. In…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 18 (+1) Record: 3-3 If the Colts can go into Tennessee and beat the Titans, who, by the way, have the league’s worst points differential, they’d stand at 4-3 in a horrible AFC. Their remaining schedule is as following: vs. Miami, @ Jacksonville, @ New England, vs. Buffalo,…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints: Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 19 (+7) Record: 2-4 The Saints are no longer the favorite to be this year’s team that goes from out of the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer, but they’re still not a playoff team or anything like that. Only one team has ever made the playoffs after…

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…
