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…

Continue reading →: Seattle Seahawks: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#24)
Last week: 25 (+1) Record: 0-1 That sound you just heard was Russell Wilson’s bandwagon hitting a pole. As I’ve said all along, Wilson is far more likely to go the way of Quincy Carter, Chris Weinke, and Kyle Orton than Andy Dalton (the only 4 non-1st round picks to…

Continue reading →: Kansas City Chiefs: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#25)
Last week: 24 (-1) Record: 0-1 It’s a bad sign when your only chance to make the playoff is to follow a strong defense, good running game, don’t make mistakes formula and you allow 40 at home in the opener. I know they were missing their top two defensive players…

Continue reading →: Minnesota Vikings: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#26)
Last week: 26 (+0) Record: 1-0 How about that? The Vikings had the league’s worst record in games decided by a touchdown or less last season, going 2-9, and in their opener, they lead a comeback drive and win by 3 in overtime. That type of thing is unpredictable on…

Continue reading →: Miami Dolphins: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#27)
Last week: 27 (+0) Record: 0-1 Maybe starting a rookie quarterback with 19 collegiate starts will prove to be the right move in the long run, but for now, it’s really stifling their offense, especially with no one at the wide receiver position who can create separation. Tannehill’s 20 for…

Continue reading →: Jacksonville Jaguars: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#28)
Last week: 32 (+4) Record: 0-1 Jacksonville moves up despite the loss because Blaine Gabbert showed some signs of life in his 2nd season debut, completing 23 of 39 for 260 yards, 2 touchdown, and no interceptions. Minnesota’s secondary is crap, but I was very impressed with Gabbert’s poise under…

Continue reading →: Cincinnati Bengals: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#29)
Last week: 28 (-1) Record: 0-1 I picked the Bengals as one of my overrated teams coming into the season and they certainly looked the part against the Ravens. Andy Dalton struggled mightily to complete anything longer than 10 yards downfield and had the week’s 7th worst adjusted QB rating…

Continue reading →: Arizona Cardinals: Week 2 NFL Power Rankings (#30)
Last week: 30 (+0) Record: 1-0 Consider me unimpressed by the Cardinals’ win over the Seahawks. The Seahawks were a poor road team starting a rookie 3rd round quarterback on the road in his 1st start with no offensive supporting cast, except a running back who was hurt. I had…
