Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#8)
Last week: 8 (+0) Record: 3-3 Last week, Norv Turner was the 1st Head Coach to lose to an Interim Interim Head Coach and this week, he was the first to blow a 24 point halftime lead since 1992. And yes, I have the Chargers 1 spot ahead of the…

Last week: 9 (+0) Record: 3-3 In the first half against San Diego, you had to wonder if Peyton Manning was questioning his decision to join this team. He was meeting or exceeding his career averages across the board and yet his team was 2-3. He was playing a good…

Last week: 15 (+5) Record: 4-2 Wow this team is tough at home. Since 2007, they are 15-4 ATS as home underdogs and this might be their most talented overall team ever in that stretch, having knocked off Dallas, Green Bay (sort of), and New England. They might not lose…

Last week: 11 (+0) Record: 4-2 Was their loss to the Redskins a bump in the road or a sign that they weren’t for real? I think it’s more the latter. The Redskins are an underrated squad who hasn’t lost to anyone by more than a touchdown. It’s not an…

Last week: 18 (+6) Record: 3-3 Are the Dolphins the 12th best team in the NFL? Maybe not, but someone has to grab that 6th seed in the AFC. After Houston, Baltimore, and New England, the AFC is really lacking good teams and I don’t even know how good those…

Last week: 14 (+1) Record: 3-3 I’m not saying the Packers are the 13th best team in the league. They didn’t deserve to lose to Seattle or Indianapolis. However, they did and I’m doing this based on what record I think a given team will finish with. Every year, one…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#14)
Last week: 7 (-7) Record: 3-3 Firing defensive coordinator Juan Castillo and replacing him with underrated defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, previously the secondary coach, will make a difference. Bowles coordinated the league’s #6 defense in Miami last year and was named interim Head Coach after Tony Sparano was fired. The…

Last week: 12 (-3) Record: 2-3 Well, at least Jason Garrett didn’t ice his own kicker this time. However, he repeated one mistake from that infamous icing his own kicker game. In that game against Arizona, I would argue the biggest mistake was not making sure the Cowboys could run…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#16)
Last week: 10 (-6) Record: 2-3 Since 2009, the Steelers are 7-9 in games without Troy Polamalu and allowed 21.9 points per game. With him, they are 27-8, allowing 14.4 points per game, with him. That’s not all him, but a lot of that is him. He’s their only irreplaceable…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#17)
Last week: 17 (+5) Record: 3-3 The Redskins might be a little underrated right now. They haven’t lost any of their 3 games by more than a touchdown and in all 3 losses, they lost a significant player to injury mid game who is now healthy. Against St. Louis, they…
