Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
Last week: 26 (-2) Record: 2-4 The Titans move down despite a “surprising” home upset victory of the Steelers because two teams previously ranked below than (NY Jets and Tampa Bay) had more impressive victories last week and because none of the teams previously ranked right above Tennessee lost this…

Continue reading →: Oakland Raiders: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
Last week: 30 (+1) Record: 1-4 The Raiders move up, not because I was impressed with their near win in Atlanta, fluky things like that happen all the time in the NFL and I rarely put much stock in them, but because I think Kansas City proved that they sucked…

Last week: 27 (-3) Record: 1-5 So if Brady Quinn gets knocked out with a concussion, will Chiefs fans cheer that too or how does this work? That’s what you get for cheering Brady Quinn. You get Brady Quinn. Ranked 23rd in yards per play differential heading into the game,…

Last week: 31 (+0) Record: 1-5 The Browns were competitive in each of their first 5 games, playing a fairly tough schedule over that period, and since their near victory in Baltimore in Thursday Night Football, I never felt that they were the worst team in the league, though they…

Continue reading →: Has Tom Brady lost it?
After the Patriots lost to the Seahawks, I tweeted (@stevenlourie) this: “Cue a week long of columns about how Tom Brady has “lost it.” Seattle is a good team, especially at home. This is not surprising.” One of the things I love to talk about when I make picks is…

Seattle Seahawks (4-2) at San Francisco 49ers (4-2) On Thursday Night, the rule of thumb is to always take a home favorite. It makes sense. Favorites tend to be proven, veteran teams, or at least in comparison to the road team. Meanwhile, the road team has to travel on a…

RB William Powell (Arizona) Percent owned (ESPN): 2.4% In his first extended action since leading the league in rushing during the preseason, William Powell looked great as Arizona’s new lead back with Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams out, rushing for 70 yards on 13 carries. I have no idea why…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings at Washington Redskins: Week 6 NFL Pick
Minnesota Vikings (4-1) at Washington Redskins (2-3) There’s still no line posted for this for some reason, even though Robert Griffin is widely expected to play, but I’m going to do this write up anyway. Last week, the line was Washington -2 for this game, so I’d be surprised if…
