Continue reading →: New England Patriots: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#5)
Last week: 3 (-2) Record: 1-2 The Patriots are under .500 for the first time since week 1 of 2003, but they’ll be fine. Over the past couple of years, they’ve started a little sluggish and then hit their stride. This week, they go to Buffalo to face an old…

Last week: 8 (+2) Record: 2-1 The defense is playing great as usual, but the offense needs to come along. The offensive line is a major issue, but Jay Cutler needs to be able to succeed in spite of it if he’s going to be considered an elite quarterback. The…

Last week: 7 (+0) Record: 2-1 So maybe these are the same old early season Chargers. They beat up on bad teams like last year, but got destroyed against a very good Falcons team. The good news is they should get better as the season goes on, as well, and…

Last week: 9 (+1) Record: 2-1 The loss in Minnesota was not unpredictable. Minnesota is an underrated team and it was to be expected that the 49ers would be flat against a “bad” opponent after being anointed after 2 weeks. The loss has allowed them to fall back to earth,…

Last week: 9 (+1) Record: 1-2 Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Houston, talk about being welcomed back to the NFL harshly for Peyton Manning. The Broncos stand at 1-2, but they rank 9th in points per play differential and they’ve been competitive in all 3 games despite a tough schedule. They should still…

Last week: 15 (+5) Record: 2-1 The Cowboys, like the Eagles, can be dangerous if they can ever get their act together. Penalties and turnovers are killing them, but the latter typically evens out over time. They rank 2nd in the league in yards per play differential, including 1st in…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#11)
Last week: 6 (-5) Record: 1-2 The Steelers suck on the road. Over the last year plus on the road, they are -43, including playoffs, and +137 at home. They beat Indianapolis by just 3, Kansas City by just 4, and Cleveland by just 3 last year and now they…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#12)
Last week: 26 (+14) Record: 2-1 The Vikings’ win over the 49ers was no fluke. They rank 8th in the league in yards per play differential and they have a winning record despite no advantage in turnovers +0. The Vikings went 3-13 last year, but had a Pythagorean Expectation of…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#13)
Last week: 1 (-12) Record: 1-2 This is my shocker of the week. The Packers didn’t deserve to lose last week. But they still did. In a loaded NFC, that could be the difference between making the playoffs and missing the playoffs. One team every year goes from a 1st…

Continue reading →: New York Giants: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#14)
Last week: 17 (+3) Record: 2-1 The Giants are certainly talented enough for a playoff spot, but in spite of their win over the Panthers, this team still has some obvious flaws, much like they did last year. Last year, they won just 9 regular season games and had a…
