Continue reading →: Baltimore Ravens: 2012 Week 2 Power Rankings (#14)
Last week: 15 (+1) Record: 1-0 This is the first in 4 straight controversial rankings. Two of my early season bold predictions, Titans over Ravens and Rams over 49ers, took a hit on an otherwise solid week 1, but I hate to change predictions after 1 week. I’d rather be…

Last week: 17 (+2) Record: 1-0 The Cowboys beat the Giants because Tony Romo had one of the best games of his career. However, they committed 13 penalties, which could have easily derailed them, but Tony Romo wouldn’t let it happen and kept coming up with big throw after big…

Last week: 16 (+0) Record: 1-0 There isn’t much that needs to be said. The Redskins went into New Orleans with a rookie quarterback and beat a Saints team that was undefeated at home last year. The defense is a bit of a concern, but then again, they were playing…

Continue reading →: Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#17)
Last week: 22 (-5) Record: 1-0 Before the season started, I picked the Buccaneers as an underrated team for several reasons. I’m not going to repeat myself completely, but basically free agent additions, new coaching staff, fewer turnovers, 3 starters through the draft, and guys coming back from injury and…

Continue reading →: New York Giants: Week 2 Power Rankings (#18)
Last week: 14 (-4) Record: 0-1 Yes, they may be defending Super Bowl champs, but they were also the worst regular season team to even win the Super Bowl in terms of wins and point differential. They’re a good team that can get hot, but not an elite team. I…

Continue reading →: New York Jets: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#19)
Last week: 23 (+4) Record: 1-0 The Jets didn’t score a touchdown with their 1st or 2nd team offense all preseason and then they score 48 against the Bills week 1? What the hell? Well, all of their offensive problems are not solved. They may have scored 48, but 14…

Continue reading →: Indianapolis Colts: 2012 Week 2 Power Rankings (#20)
Last week: 18 (-2) Record: 0-1 No shame in losing to the Bears, who might be the best team in football. I had the Colts and Bears both as underrated teams going into the season and now I think the Colts might be even more underrated after a big loss…

Continue reading →: Buffalo Bills: Week 2 Power Rankings (#21)
Last week: 11 (-10) Record: 0-1 I don’t often admit I’m wrong after week 1 (more on this later) because it’s one game and the last thing I want to do is flip flop after one week and then eventually find out I was right the first time. However, I’m…

Continue reading →: Detroit Lions: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#22)
Last week: 20 (-2) Record: 1-0 I got several things wrong week 1, finishing 8-8 ATS and 9-7 SU on the week, and several of my bolder preseason predictions are looking kind of shaky (more on that later), but one thing I nailed was that St. Louis would be better…

Continue reading →: Carolina Panthers: Week 2 Power Rankings (#23)
Last week: 21 (-2) Record: 0-1 Jonathan Stewart has more rushing yards than DeAngelo Williams this year and he didn’t even play this weekend. The Buccaneers had the league’s 31st ranked run defense last year and the Panthers had the league’s 1st ranked run offense, so naturally the Panthers would…
