Continue reading →: Tennessee Titans: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 25 (+7) Record: 1-2 There’s the Titan team I put in the playoffs at the beginning of the season. Jake Locker looked much more comfortable with Nate Washington and Kenny Britt at full strength, going 29 of 42 for 278 yards and 2 touchdowns, although part of that…

Last week: 22 (+3) Record: 1-2 The Panthers looked horrible at home on Thursday Night, but they were the inferior team and superior, veteran, proven teams always have the advantage over teams like the Panthers. The good news is that they still rank 3rd in the league in yards per…

Record: 1-2 Last week: 20 (-1) Andrew Luck doesn’t have any help. He played well, but losing at home to Jacksonville is embarrassing. The good news is that they outplayed the Jaguars, despite the loss, and they should be getting healthier defensively soon, after the bye. They also have a…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#21)
Last week: 29 (+8) Record: 2-1 The Bengals, my original pick to go from out of the playoffs to 5 wins or fewer, are still in the running. I had them doing do because I thought they were the worst of the 12 playoff teams last season (other than Denver,…

Last week: 22 (-11) Record: 1-2 Their defense is the real deal and they’ll play spoiler to a few teams. They’ve had a tough schedule, as well. However, the NFC is loaded and Sam Bradford is not a good enough quarterback to succeed behind this patchwork offensive line, which will…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 21 (-2) Record: 1-2 Every year a team goes from in the playoffs to winning 5 games or fewer. The Lions, one of my preseason overrated teams, are a finalist for that spot, but I have them finishing a little bit better than that. However, their defense is…

Continue reading →: Washington Redskins: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 14 (-10) Record: 1-2 Robert Griffin is the real deal, but whatever little help he had to begin with is getting hurt. Brian Orakpo’s and Adam Carriker’s absence on defense has led to them getting torched defensively by the Rams and the Bengals in the last two games…

Continue reading →: New York Jets: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 19 (-6) Record: 2-1 Remember how the Jets’ chance to make the playoffs was on the conservative offense, good defense, don’t make mistakes, easy schedule model? Yeah, that doesn’t work if you can’t play good defense and without Darrelle Revis, they’re going to have a hard time doing…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
Last week: 16 (-10) Record: 0-3 Every year, one team goes from in the playoffs to winning 5 or fewer games the next season. Is this team that bad? They are one of two 0-3 teams left in the NFL. They rank 29th in yards per play differential. Drew Brees…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#27)
Last week: 27 (+0) Record: 1-2 Defense is key for this team. If they can play good defense, it will allow them to unleash Jamaal Charles and take the pressure off of Matt Cassel. Charles had a huge game last week and looked every bit the back he was in…
