Continue reading →: Atlanta Falcons: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#2)
Last week: 2 (+0) Record: 5-0 The Falcons have had back-to-back close calls and could be 3-2 right now if the Panthers could manage a late game and if Robert Griffin hadn’t gotten hurt and Billy Cundiff hadn’t sucked. Most good teams do catch breaks like that, but this team…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#3)
Last week: 3 (+0) Record: 4-1 I was tempted to flip flop this team with the Patriots this week, because they continue to play down to the level of competition, but they also play up to the level of the competition, which will serve them well in the playoffs. They…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#4)
Last week: 6 (+2) Record: 4-1 Jay Cutler is 9-1 in his last 10 games, with the one loss being the Thursday Night game, which I think we can just chalk up to being a fluky Thursday Night game. The Bears, other than that game, are 4-0 this year and…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#5)
Last week: 5 (+0) Record: 3-2 It’s tough to keep this team out of the top-4 given how well they’ve played the last few weeks, but I think their head-to-head loss to Baltimore is eventually going to cost them a 1st round bye. Plus, no Super Bowl loser has gone…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#6)
Last week: 7 (+1) Record: 4-1 The 49ers are by far the best team in the league in terms of yards per play, but they were just a good team by that metric 2 weeks ago so how you evaluate this team is dependent on how much stock you want…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 4 (-3) Record: 3-2 I still think this team will win this division. Not only are they currently in first place, but they still rank 8th in yards per play. The turnovers will even out eventually and this is always a much better 2nd half team. Under Andy…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#8)
Last week: 8 Record: 3-2 Once again, the Chargers fell flat in a non-conference game. Norv Turner is now 8-14 ATS against non-conference opponents as Head Coach of the Chargers, 4-9 ATS before a divisional contest. This week is a huge early season test for them as they host the…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#9)
Last week: 9 (+0) Record: 2-3 From 2006-2010, Peyton Manning was 12-1 ATS as an underdog. This year he is 0-3. Does that mean he’s done or not the same player? Not necessarily. His QB rating is actually 6 points higher than his career average and his completion percentage (66.0%),…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#10)
Last week: 11 (+1) Record: 2-2 The AFC is weak, so the Steelers should be safe and sneak in as a wild card, but the loss of Troy Polamalu hurts. They are obviously hoping it’s just a short term thing. Excluding last week, during which Polamalu left in the middle,…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: Week 6 NFL Power Rankings (#11)
Last week: 12 (+1) Record: 4-1 Winning when no one expects you to win is one thing. Destroying a team you’re supposed to beat is another and the Vikings passed that test with flying colors last week, unlike the league’s other surprise team, the Cardinals, who failed that test in…
