Continue reading →: Chicago Bears: Week 2 Power Rankings (#1)
The Bears take over the #1 spot with a blowout win in which they were impressive on both sides of the ball, even though Brian Urlacher was playing hurt, against an underrated Colts team. I’ve been high on this team all offseason, but could never put them ahead of the…

Continue reading →: Houston Texans: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#2)
Last week: 2 (+0) Record: 1-0 The Texans really looked like they were sleep walking through most of last week’s game and they still got the 30-10 win. It’s tough to learn much about a team when they play the lowly Dolphins. The Texans get their first test of the…

Continue reading →: New England Patriots: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#3)
Last week: 3 (+0) Record: 1-0 Super Bowl runner up hasn’t won the Super Bowl since Super Bowl XII or even made the Super Bowl since XXVIII. If anyone can end that, it’s the Patriots. The defense, unlike the Packers’ actually seems improved from last season, while the offense adds…

Continue reading →: Green Bay Packers: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#4)
Last week: 1 (-3) Record: 0-1 The Packers’ defense was too reliant on turnovers last year. I thought they added enough talent and had enough bounce back candidate players to compensate and still be passable defensively, but they sure didn’t look that way against the 49ers. The last 3 times…

Last week: 9 (+4) Record: 1-0 Their offense was as advertised as they put up 40 on the Chiefs in Kansas City, though the Chiefs were missing their top two defenders. Speaking of missing defenders, the Falcons will be without top cornerback Brent Grimes for the entire season with a…

Last week: 6 (+1) Record: 1-0 If I had remembered how bad the Steelers were on the road last year, I probably would not have picked them in Denver. Seriously, look at this, lose by 28 in Baltimore, win by 3 in Indianapolis, lose by 7 in Houston, win by…

Continue reading →: New Orleans Saints: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#7)
Last week: 6 (-1) Record: 0-1 It’s not quite time to hit the panic button in New Orleans. They’ll get better as the season goes on. After the offseason they had, it’s understandable if they struggle out of the gate and if anyone can get through this, it’s a Drew…

Continue reading →: San Diego Chargers: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#8)
Last week: 10 (+2) Record: 1-0 The Chargers barely beat an overrated Raiders team that was shooting themselves in the foot all night. Yep, it’s the same old early season Chargers. That game reminds me of their close early season wins against bad teams last year, Miami, Denver, Minnesota, and…

Continue reading →: Denver Broncos: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#9)
Last week: 13 (+4) Record: 1-0 Well I think it’s safe to say Peyton Manning is fine after 4 neck surgeries. He might not have his best season, remember he’s 36, but unless he reinjures himself, the Broncos appear to have one of the best quarterbacks in the league. The…

Continue reading →: Philadelphia Eagles: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#10)
Last week: 4 (-6) Record: 1-0 I had the Eagles making a big jump this season because history suggested their turnover differential would improve, because of their high Pythagorean Expectation last season, and because of how they ended last year, particularly defensively. Well, the defense looked great. I know the…
