Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts at New York Jets: Week 6 NFL Pick
Indianapolis Colts (2-2) at New York Jets (2-3) Last week, I was very hesitant to make a big play on the Texans, even though I felt they were the significant superior team, because the Jets had so many things working in their favor. They were coming off an embarrassing home…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals at Cleveland Browns: Week 6 NFL Pick
Cincinnati Bengals (3-2) at Cleveland Browns (0-5) Last week I noted that, assuming Cleveland, Jacksonville, and Washington don’t make the playoffs and Baltimore does, the Bengals were 12-0 against non-playoff teams since Andy Dalton took over week 1 last year, and 0-10 against playoff teams. For that reason, I didn’t…

Last week: 1 (+0) Record: 5-0 The Texans were sleepwalking last week, but every team has a bad game eventually. What’s important is that they still got the win. They haven’t played a very tough schedule so far, but they’ve blown out all of the expected non-playoff teams they’ve played,…

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…
