Continue reading →: Houston Texans: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#1)
Record: 4-0 Last week: 1 (+0) Teams this year are 2-2 as 10+ point favorites. The Texans are 2-0. As 7+ road favorites, teams are 1-2. The Texans are 1-0. As road favorites in general, teams are 9-14. The Texans are 1-0. They’ve convincing beaten every team they’ve faced so…

Last week: 2 (+0) Record: 4-0 Well, it wasn’t pretty, but the Falcons got their 4th win to become the NFL’s 3rd 4-0 team this season. Arizona is think is a complete fluke, but both Houston and Atlanta are for real and it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see…

Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#3)
Last week: 3 (+0) Record: 3-1 The Ravens are the 2nd best team in the AFC, by virtue of their 3-1 record, their head-to-head victory over the Patriots, and a point per play differential that ranks tied for 2nd in the league. However, they really left me disappointed against the…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#4)
Record: 3-1 Last week: 4 (+0) The Eagles were -10 in turnovers through the first 3 games and then didn’t commit a single turnover against the Giants last week in a win. A lot of people are surprised, but I’m not. Turnovers are incredibly inconsistent on a week to week…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#5)
Last week: 5 (+0) Record: 2-2 In spite of their incredibly impressive win over the Buffalo Bills, I still think there are two better teams in the AFC. Houston is the obvious one and Baltimore is less obvious, more arguable, but I give Baltimore the advantage because they won the…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#6)
Record: 3-1 Last week: 6 (+0) This team really reminds me of the 2010 version. In 2010, they won 11 games and got a first round bye, but you never really felt like you could trust them to go all the way and win the Super Bowl. This year is…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 8 (+1) Record: 3-1 Through 4 games, the 49ers lead the league in yards per play differential. I still don’t trust Alex Smith to lead this team deep into the playoffs, but this was one of my preseason disappointing teams and I’ve definitely come around on them. They…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#8)
Last week: 8 (-1) Record: 3-1 The Chargers finish September with a 3-1 record for the 2nd year in a row, something they hadn’t done in the Norv Turner era prior to last year. However, much like last year, they beat up on crappy teams in September and got blown…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#9)
Last week: 9 (+0) Record 2-2 See, Peyton Manning wasn’t done. He just needed to face the Raiders. After 3 less than stellar performances in his first 3 games against tough defenses (Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Houston), Manning exploded for 338 yards and 3 touchdowns on 30 of 38 passing against the…

Continue reading →: Dallas Cowboys: Week 5 NFL Power Rankings (#10)
Last week: 10 (+0) Record: 2-2 Believe it or not, the Cowboys actually rank tied for 2nd in the league in yards per play differential with Baltimore and Philadelphia, behind only San Francisco. Turnovers are a huge issue for them as they rank dead last in the NFL at -7…
