Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#15)
Last week: 12 (-3) Record: 2-1 This Bills fall despite winning for several reasons. One is the injury to CJ Spiller. Both he and Fred Jackson are questionable this week and will probably be back eventually, but it’s definitely not a good thing. The other is just that other teams…

Last week: 23 (+7) Record: 3-0 Like the Seahawks and Marshawn Lynch, do you really trust anyone on this offense other than Larry Fitzgerald? The defense is great, but I don’t think they’re well rounded enough to make the playoffs in a loaded NFC. They have a negative yards per…

Last week: 24 (+7) Record: 2-1 Bogus win aside, do you really trust anyone on this offense aside from Marshawn Lynch? Their offense was stagnant all night on it took some blown calls to even get them into double digits. Russell Wilson was 9 of 20 for 106 yards and…

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,…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams: Week 4 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
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…
