Power Rankings Week 15

Power Rankings Week 15 Only three weeks left in the season, at this point I’m hoping the NFC can produce a worthy competitor in the Superbowl. If we can’t get a Atlanta-Philly NFC title game, I’m hoping it’s New Orleans. The matchup seems epic, and the Saints would have the experience to match New England on that grand a stage. Onto the rankings. 1) New England Patriots Please show me a Power Rankings with someone else in the top spot. Or better yet, make a case that isn’t completely laughable. Then I’ll entertain the notion of putting another team here. Until then, it’s there’s until they incur another loss, and there’s still no guarantee they’re…

Power Rankings

Gridiron Experts Power Rankings There hasn’t really been an overriding theme in the last couple weeks of the NFL season. But given the matchups, the contenders managed to separate a little from the pretenders in week thirteen. While last week we couldn’t distinguish the #1 team from the #7 , this week New England, the Pennsylvania representation and Atlanta established themselves as the four favorites to make the two title games. Man, I can’t wait to be wrong about that. Onto the rankings. 1) New England Patriots Look at who they’ve played, who they’ve beaten and how they’ve won; and you’ll see there isn’t much debate that they’ve separated – even if just a little…

Power Rankings: Better Late Than Never

NFL Power Rankings At the time I’m writing this, every single headline on ESPN’s NFL page pertains to various injuries around the league. Clearly the NFL is built and ready for an eighteen game season, there’s absolutely no way things could go wrong. Not time for an actual intro this week, let’s get right to the rankings. 1) New England Patriots Is there really all that much separating New England from Pittsburgh from Atlanta from any team in the top seven? It feels completely pointless to speculate. They’re all good to great teams with noticeable flaws, New England just has the better history of masking them. 2) Pittsburgh Steelers Close call with the Bills, but…

NFL Power Rankings Week 12

NFL Power Rankings Week 12 How long has it been since we had a week without an overtime game? Despite the theatrics of the Jags, Jets, Texans and Patriots wins, this past week sort of flew in the face of the parity theme, with only those four contests being settled by one score. Everything other game sort of trudged along at an excruciating pace. Maybe I’m over-thinking it, but for a couple of reasons I preferred it this way: 1) Gambling was much, much more rewarding. And 2) With so many games being decided so clearly, it increased my appreciation for the games that came down to the wire. When everyone is on par with…

Week 11 Power Rankings

Gridiron Experts Power Rankings: Week 11 Now that we’re done with bye-weeks and everyone has played nine games, the field is starting to define itself. Currently there are twelve teams three games or more over .500, ten teams within a game of it and ten teams three games or more below. In short, picking 11-25 is increasing in both difficulty and meaninglessness. Still, we might see one of these 3-6 teams –especially in the NFC – sneak into the playoffs. 1. Philadelphia Eagles When you win a road game against a divisional rival as convincingly as the Eagles did on Monday night, I don’t care what the circumstances are. If you have a winning record,…
