Continue reading →: Houston Texans: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#2)
Last week: 2 (+0) Record: 2-0 Those might have been the easiest opening two games ever. The Texans pounded on the Dolphins and Jaguars, outscoring them 57-17 and outgaining them 748-392. Now for a real test as they head to Denver to take on Peyton Manning and that no huddle…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#3)
Last week: 3 (+0) Record: 1-1 In 2010, the Patriots lost to the Browns. In 2011, the Patriots lost to the Bills. They won 14 games in 2010 and 13 games in 2011. It wasn’t the end of the world then and it’s not the end of the world now.…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#4)
Last week: 10 (+6) Record: 2-0 The Eagles have 9 turnovers in 2 games, but they’re 2-0. How does that happen? Well, when you lead the league in points per play differential with a differential of 1.5, all of a sudden, you can overcome those turnovers. Historically, that differential is…

Last week: 5 (+0) Record: 2-0 I wasn’t that impressed with the Falcons on Monday Night. I felt like they should have been up 20 given how badly the Broncos started and how much they turned the ball over, but they didn’t capitalize like they should have. They lost the…

Continue reading →: Pittsburgh Steelers: 2012 Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#6)
Last week: 6 (+0) Record: 1-1 Home sweet home for the Steelers. It looks like their home/road disparity has carried over from last season. This team was -22 on the road last year and +120 at home last year. The Raiders get a chance to right the ship on the…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 8 (+1) Record: 2-0 No, I’m not convinced the Chargers have suddenly become good in the 1st half of the season. The Raiders and the Titans suck. They’ll have a test this week when Atlanta comes to town. That being said, I think this is still the favorite…

Continue reading →: Chicago Bears: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#8)
Last week: 1 (-7) Record: 1-1 In 2010, I consistently ranked the Bears lower than most and lower than their record would have suggested because I simply didn’t trust the combination of Jay Cutler, that offensive line, and Mike Martz to consistently win 3 or 4 games in a row…

Continue reading →: San Francisco 49ers: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#9)
Last week: 13 (+4) Record: 2-0 I still don’t think this team is much of a Super Bowl threat because eventually the turnover differentials will…blah blah blah regression I’m done repeating myself. Let’s focus on something positive, namely this amazing defense. This was Jim Harbaugh’s first full offseason with this…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#10)
Last week: 9 (-1) Record: 1-1 I have a feeling the Broncos are going to be one of those teams with big home/road disparities in their records this season. They have a huge advantage at home, running the no huddle against defenses not used to playing in the thin air,…

Continue reading →: St. Louis Rams: Week 3 NFL Power Rankings (#11)
Last week: 11 (+1) Record: 1-1 Every year, there is one team that goes from 5 wins or fewer to the playoffs. I have a feeling that it’s going to be an NFC team this year, either the Rams, Redskins, or Buccaneers. I’m sticking with my preseason prediction here and…
