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…

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…

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…

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…

Last week: 29 (-2) Record: 2-4 I went back and forth between the Raiders and Chiefs here, but I ultimately decided to drop the Raiders to this spot, in spite of their overtime home win. If you need Blaine Gabbert to get hurt to beat the Jaguars in overtime at…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars Week 8 NFL Power Rankings (#32)
Last week: 32 (+0) Record: 1-5 Jacksonville is by far the worst team in the league despite their near win in Oakland and it’s not even close. Their yards per play differential is -1.6. No one else is worse than -1.1. Their rate of sustaining drives differential is -16.8%. No…

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2-4) at Minnesota Vikings (5-2) As I like to mention every week, the rule of thumb on Thursday Night is to take the home team. Home teams are 68-49 ATS in the history of Thursday Night football. It makes sense. On a short week, all the time…

RB LaRod Stephens-Howling (Arizona) Percent owned (ESPN): 10.5% William Powell appeared to break out as Arizona’s new lead back week 6 against Buffalo, but he fumbled a kickoff return early against Minnesota and barely saw any action, very unfortunate for anyone who picked him up and started him this week.…
