1. Minnesota
2. New England
3. Seattle
4. Dallas
5. Atlanta
6. Denver
7. Pittsburgh
8. Green Bay
9. Buffalo
10. Philadelphia

[Avante]

Now let's look at who on that list played the others listed there.

1.Vikes...Green Bay
2.Pats...Buffalo
3.Seahawks...Atlanta
4.Cowboys...Packers
5.Falcons...Seattle, Denver
6.Broncos...Atlanta
7.Steelers...Philly
8.Packers...Minnesota, Dallas
9.Bills...NE
10.Eagles...Pitt

Then we have...

Redskins..Pitt, Dallas, Philly
Jets...Buffalo, Seattle, Pitt
Giants...Dallas, Minn, GB
Mia...Seattle, NE, Pitt
Carolina...Denver, Minn, Atlanta

Cinncy...Pitt, Denver, Dallas, NE

There's the Bills, who faced a back up QB when they faced the only ranked team. Now look at what the Bengals have faced.

Hmmmmm?

[DD]

1. Patriots
2. Cowboys
3. Seahawks
4. Falcons
5. Steelers
6. Vikings
7. Broncos
8. Bills
9. Packers
10. Redskins

[Avante]

What gets lost in these rankings is that...who have ya beat? And....home/road....which is huge.

Green Bay has only two road games. Same with the Vikes, and both have had bye weeks.

Pats

road
home
home
home
road
home

Seattle only two road games and a bye.

Look at the Rams.

road
home
road
road
home
road
London

That just ain't right.

DD still hatin on the last undefeated team in the NFL I see...Bradford doesn't have to carry this team with the way the defense plays.

He's trolling you.

Steelers ahead of the Vikings?

[HarlemHeat37]

Harlem's Rankings will make its triumphant return next Tuesday, tbh..

[Avante]

Take the difference in points scored/given up. 120 scored, 100 given up....plus 2. Those at 100-120 get no points.

3 points road win
2 points home win
1 point road loss
0 points home loss

Now add how many wins in the last 3.

1.Dallas 21
2.Minn 20
3.Buff 20...yep~~~
4.NE 19
5.Atl 18
6.Den 16
7.Sea 16
8.Philly 16
9.Pitt 15
10.Ariz 15

Then everyone else between 14=5 except.....Cleve 3 and then...Jets at 0.

Biggest surprise in my opinion....Carolina 5.


After 6 weeks we now have enought of a sample size to where this means something.

Look at who can't win on the road, look at who gives up a ton of points. Yep, a great tool.

The Cowboys are a plus 5 and.....3-0...on the road, that is impressive.

What I didn't do there is take level of opposition into account. As of right now the Jets and Bengals have played the toughest schedules. So for the Bengals to have a 9....hmmmm?

Huge difference in points scored vs given up and winning on the road, that really says it all. As of right now....Cowboys~~~

[AlexJones]

Cowboys have a league average yards per play differential, tbh.

Falcons are legit

Cardinals are much better than people perceive them to be

Patriots and Seahawks both elite, obviously

Packers & Steelers are not good

Bears are THE team to bet on for the rest of the year. They're not terrible. In fact I'd argue that they're actually better than about 8 teams in the NFL.

The Bears a bad team from both an ATS and SU perspective, watch how good the Packers all of a sudden look Thursday Night. The Bears have won but 8 games after Oct in the last three seasons. What are you looking at?

They have scored 101, given up 143 so...- 42. That sucks.

[HarlemHeat37]

Chargers are the most underrated team, right now, due to their laughable choke jobs, tbh..

They rate highly in every overall team advanced metric, and they have a solid PD..they are a borderline top 10 team, despite their 2-4 record..

maybe but their injuries have ed them over this season regardless.

Damn, good thing Chargers had that historically bad 4th quarter luck..

AFC West is unfair, this year..

When are your power rankings coming

[HarlemHeat37]

When are your power rankings coming

Depends on the outcome of the MNF game, tbh

[Avante]

1. NE



then there's.

2.does it really matter?

[AlexJones]

Arizona and Seattle are not far behind NE.

Without fail, the lines for next week are inflated thanks to the SNF debacle. Carolina should definitely not be 3 point favs vs Arizona (that implies that they're equal teams on a neutral field which isn't true), and Seattle should be laying closer to -2 at New Orleans.

[Ghazi]

I dunno if Seattle has the offense to hang with New England, tbh.

wasn't that supposed to be a rookies type of opinion?

[Raven]

nobody has anything to even suck their tbh. But it's still early and injuries will always determine who has a chance in the play offs, but on paper there is 0 compe ion this year.

[Ghazi]

Interesting note.... if New England didn't tank the last 2 games of the regular season last year, they could possibly be working on a 3-peat this year.

They were 12-2, Denver was 10-4... they lost both games, Denver won both games... Denver had tiebreaker because Patriots blew a 14 pt lead against ASsweiler earlier in the year, so they had to play the AFC Championship on the road.

This year it looks like they'll get home field throughout the playoffs... probably a 14-2 or 13-3 season, tbh.

[Avante]

wasn't that supposed to be a rookies type of opinion?

What screams...ROOKIE...is this.

Putting too much into a players rookie season. Melvin Gordon~~~~

Putting WAY too much into the first 2-3 weeks of a season.

Putting anything in...A...game.

I'm not doing that, the Pats are a time tested successfuf francise. And rolling once again.

[Avante]

Up to date.
