Baltimore Ravens (3-1) at Kansas City Chiefs (1-3) I ranked the Ravens ranked 3rd in my Power Rankings and called them the 2nd best team in the AFC behind Houston because of the head-to-head win over New England and their superior yards per play differential over New England. I think…

Cleveland Browns (0-4) at New York Giants (2-2) In my weekly Power Rankings, I had the Browns in last for the 3rd straight week, but I didn’t feel comfortable about. Yes, the Browns are one of two remaining 0-4 teams and compared to the other one, New Orleans, they’re much…

Arizona Cardinals (4-0) at St. Louis Rams (2-2) I was going to call the Cardinals the worst 4-0 team ever, but then I remembered the 2009 Broncos. The 2009 Broncos, much like the Cardinals this year, were one of my preseason picks to be among the worst in the league.…

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…
