NFL Power Rankings - Week 9


1. Kansas City Chiefs 240
Last week: 1
Notes:  Halfway through the season, the Chiefs find themselves still undefeated. Can't wait until they play the Broncos.


2. Denver Broncos 239
Last week: 2
Notes: Another dominant performance by the Broncos offense. They are my favorites to win the AFC.

3. Seattle Seahawks: 201
Last week: 3
Notes: It was closer than a lot of people expected, but a win is a win. As long as Seahawks find a way to win on the road, they'll be in good shape. They face a layup of a match-up next week at home against Tampa Bay.

4New Orleans Saints 183
Last week: 4
Notes: The Saints dominate the Bills after the bye week.

5.  San Francisco 49ers 163
Last week: 6
Notes:  Another week, another win for the 49ers. Yes, it was against the Jags, but the 49ers still looked impressive.


6. Cincinnati Bengals:146
Last week: 9
Notes: I thought the Bengals would win against the Jets, but not by this much. They dominated. Andy Dalton looks dangerous.
 
7. Indianapolis Colts: 134
Last week: 5
Notes: Strong performances by everyone else above them moves them down in the power rankings. The match-up next week against the Texans won't be as easy as it sounds given how desperate the team is.

8. Green Bay Packers: 122
Last week: 7
Notes: The Packers continue to show why they're one of the elite teams in the NFC.
 
9. New England Patriots: 121
Last week: 8
Notes: Just when you thought it was going to be another divisional loss, the Patriots bounced backed. With the Jets (and everyone else in the AFC East) losing, the Pats look even more in great shape to take the division.


10. Carolina Panthers: 98
Last week: 11
Notes:  The Panthers should improve to 5-3 with their next game against the struggling Falcons. The following is a tough match-up against the 49ers on the road. If they can win that (or at least keep it competitive) more people will take notice of this team.
 
11. Detroit Lions: 73
Last week: 12
Notes: What a comeback by the Lions. Normally, this is the type of game where they would blow a big lead, but instead Stafford and co. found a way to win. Part of that was from Megatron's ridiculously impressive performance.

12Dallas Cowboys: 71
Last Week: 10
Notes: Still the leaders in the NFC East, but a tough loss to swallow. This could be the game that costs them the playoffs.

13. San Diego Chargers: 51
Last week: 13
Notes: The Chargers face the Redskins next week before an important divisional game against the Broncos.
14. Chicago Bears 36
Last week: 14
Notes: The bye week hurt the Bears, with the Packers and Lions both winning.


15. Tennessee Titans: 9
Last week: 16
Notes: The Titans hope to break the 3 game losing streak against the Rams.

16. Arizona Cardinals 8
Last week: 22
Notes: The Cardinals improve to .500 after a win against the Falcons. Too bad they're in the NFC West and with two of the most explosive teams in football.

17. Baltimore Ravens:4
Last week: 17
Notes: The Ravens face a must-win game against the Browns.
 
18.  Miami Dolphins: -7
Last week: 15
Notes: Heartbreaking loss for the Dolphins. Would have been the difference in being 0.5 games back to now being 2.5 games back of the division.


19. Oakland Raiders -22
Last week: 25
Notes: The Raiders continue to surprise / impress people. Nice win against the Steelers.

20. Cleveland Browns: -37
Last week: 20
Notes: Impressive showing by the Browns against the undefeated Chiefs, but they find themselves on the losing end. An important match-up next week against the Ravens.

21. Buffalo Bills -41
Last week: 19
Notes:  The Bills just couldn't match-up against the explosive Saints offense. 

22 St. Louis Rams -43
Last Week: 24
Notes: Clemens looked pretty bad, but it was a difficult match-up against one of the best defenses in the league. He'll need to prove himself next week against the Titans. The defense, however, did a good job keeping the Rams in the game. 
 
23. New York Jets:-53
Last week: 18
Notes: Officially the most inconsistent team in football. After looking great against the Pats, they looked like the Jaguars against the Bengals.

24.  Atlanta Falcons -54
Last week: 21
Notes: I think it's time for teams to stop saying "an impressive win over the Falcons" every time someone beats this team. They're just not that good this year.

25. Philadelphia Eagles: -55
Last Week: 23
Notes: The Eagles now lost 10 in a row at home. Pathetic. They are still, miraculously, only one game out of the division.
  
26. Pittsburgh Steelers: -65
Last week: 26
Notes: Just when the Steelers look to be "back" they lose against the Raiders.

27. Washington Redskins: -83
Last week: 27
Notes:  Didn't expect the Skins to do much against the Broncos and they didn't.

28. Houston Texans  -91
Last week: 28
Notes: If the Texans are going to get back into the playoff hunt (or even in discussions) they must beat the Colts this week.

29. New York Giants: - 124
Last week: 31
Notes: The Giants are now on a streak (2 in a row) and head into the bye only 2 games behind first place Dallas after starting the season 0-6.
 
30. Minnestota Vikings -135
Last week: 29
Notes: Better than last week, but still a loss for this Vikings team.
 
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: -163
Last week: 30
Notes: Who will win first? Bucs or the Jags? Both could easily go 0-16.
32. Jacksonville Jaguars:-274
Last week: 32
Notes: No matter what country, the Jags will lose.

NFL Power Rankings - Week 8


1. Kansas City Chiefs 212
Last week: 2
Notes:  The Chiefs were last on many people's power rankings last year (including the finish of last year) and now are at #1 after being the only undefeated team left.


2. Denver Broncos 192
Last week: 1
Notes: If anyone was going to beat the Broncos, it's no surprise that it was against Peyton's former team on the road. Despite the loss, they still look like the best team in the NFL right now.

3. Seattle Seahawks174
Last week: 3
Notes: The best in the NFC gets another road win against the Cardinals.

4New Orleans Saints 136
Last week: 4
Notes: The Saints next 3 games are all against opponents they should beat before facing the 49ers.

5. Indianapolis Colts: 129
Last week: 6
Notes: An impressive win by the Colts. They have proven that they could beat anyone in the NFL after beating the Broncos, 49ers, and Seahawks.

6.  San Francisco 49ers 115
Last week: 7
Notes:  Another win by the 49ers. Remember when everyone was worried about this team?


7. Green Bay Packers: 92
Last week: 11
Notes: The Packers have climbed their way into first place after beating up on the Browns. I expect them to keep this spot.
 
8. New England Patriots: 91
Last week: 5
Notes: A tough loss against the Jets. Yes, they would have won if it wasn't for the penalty call, but the Patriots of last year (and before) wouldn't have even let the game get to that point.


9. Cincinnati Bengals: 84
Last week: 9
Notes:  The Bengals continue to separate themselves from everyone else in the AFC North.

10Dallas Cowboys: 82
Last Week: 12
Notes: Despite being in the worst division in football, the Cowboys look fairly decent. They're the obvious pick for a #4 seed, but don't be surprised if they get a playoff win or even two if they end up winning the NFC East.

11. Carolina Panthers: 64
Last week: 15
Notes:  The Panthers need to start getting more recognition. You should find them in the wildcard hunt all season long.
 
12. Detroit Lions: 52
Last week: 8
Notes: A close game against the Bengals, but the loss drops them into second place in the NFC North.

13. San Diego Chargers: 51
Last week: 17
Notes: An easy game against an easy opponent, but it doesn't take away the good season the Chargers are having. Too bad they play in the toughest division in football. 
14. Chicago Bears 34
Last week: 10
Notes: They were on the losing end in an offensive shootout. Definitely not the Bears D everyone is used. The Bears now need to find a way to win without Cutler.


15.  Miami Dolphins: 13
Last week: 14
Notes: The loss against the Bills drops them back to .500.


16. Tennessee Titans: 8
Last week: 13
Notes: At one point it looked like the Titans might compete with the Colts for the AFC South. Not so much anymore.

17. Baltimore Ravens: 4
Last week: 16
Notes: Another close rivalry game against the Steelers in which the Ravens were on the losing end. Harbaugh has never started a season with the Ravens below .500 after 7 games. Will be interesting to see if they can turn it around.

18. New York Jets: 0
Last week: 22
Notes:  The Jets finally win against the Pats and move about .500. 2 out of 4 wins, however, were decided by a penalty within the last minute of the game (Tampa Bay being the other one).

19. Buffalo Bills -17
Last week: 23
Notes: The Bills finally didn't blow a lead and held on to win against the Dolphins. 
 
20. Cleveland Browns: -26
Last week: 18
Notes: The Browns are starting to look the Browns we all are used to.

21.  Atlanta Falcons -27
Last week: 25
Notes: The Falcons won a game that they needed to. Games against the Cardinals and Panthers will show whether or not they are any good this year.

22. Arizona Cardinals -31
Last week: 20
Notes:Tough divisional loss against the Seahawks that moves them further away from them and the 49ers.

23. Philadelphia Eagles: -32
Last Week: 19
Notes: A mess of a QB situation proved to hurt the Eagles against the Cowboys.
  
24. St. Louis Rams -36
Last Week: 21
Notes: The Rams look like one of the most inconsistent teams in football. When they win, they win convincingly and when they lose, they look like one of the worst teams in the league.  Now that Bradford is out for the season, the Rams might find themselves on the losing end more often.
25. Oakland Raiders -44
Last week: 24
Notes: The Chargers winning moves the Raiders further behind in the standings.

26. Pittsburgh Steelers: -47
Last week: 26
Notes: The Steelers now have won 2 in a row and look to be back on track.

27. Washington Redskins: -52
Last week: 28
Notes:  RGIII looked good against the Bears. If he keeps up this level of play, the Redskins can pull off another come from behind season in the subpar NFC East.

28. Houston Texans  -95
Last week: 29
Notes: Give the Texans credit for keeping it close against the undefeated Chiefs with issues on QB and Foster leaving the game with an injury. Too bad "almost wins" don't count for anything.

29. Minnestota Vikings -112
Last week: 27
Notes: The Vikings looked downright awful on offense with Freeman leading the way.
 
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: -132
Last week: 30
Notes: Vincent Jackson looks great, but pretty much the rest of the Bucs do not. 
31. New York Giants: - 153
Last week: 31
Notes: Despite the win, the Giants still looked like a team that's struggling significantly. They were great on D, but a lot of offensive mistakes and a ton of mistakes on special teams. They face a must win situation against the Eagles on the road.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars:-238
Last week: 32
Notes: Another week, another loss.

NFL Power Rankings - Week 7


1. Denver Broncos 213
Last week: 1
Notes: It wasn't the blowout that we expected, but the Broncos are now at 6-0 and look like they cannot be stopped.

2. Kansas City Chiefs 193
Last week: 3
Notes:   I can't remember the last time I saw a turnaround like the Chiefs in just one year.


3. Seattle Seahawks144
Last week: 4
Notes: Another win at home for the Seahawks. If they can secure a #1 seed for the playoffs, it will be almost impossible to stop them with home field advantage.

4New Orleans Saints 136
Last week: 2
Notes: The Saints finally lose (and a heartbreaking loss at that). Things get easier their two games after the bye with games against the Bills and Jets.
5. New England Patriots: 106
Last week: 6
Notes: Just when you thought it was over, the Patriots rallied back and pulled off an impressive win against the Saints. Even though we expect a lot of great things from the Pats, they do look like a subpar 5-1 team still.


6. Indianapolis Colts: 96
Last week: 5
Notes: Even with the loss, the Colts are in good shape to win the AFC South.

7.  San Francisco 49ers 83
Last week: 7
Notes: Another win by the 49ers keeps them a game back from the Seahawks.


8. Detroit Lions: 66
Last week: 10
Notes: A win by the Lions over the Browns keeps them in first in the NFC North.

9. Cincinnati Bengals:60
Last week: 14
Notes:  The Bengals pull into lone possession of first after a (close) win over the Bills and losses by the Ravens and Browns.
10. Chicago Bears51
Last week: 13
Notes: The Bears hope to head into the bye 5-2 with a game against the struggling Skins. After the bye they have two very important divisional games against the Packers and the Lions.


11. Green Bay Packers: 50
Last week: 15
Notes: The Packers now have won 2 in a row and should win their next 2 against the Browns and the Vikings.

12Dallas Cowboys: 49
Last Week: 17
Notes: Despite being in the weakest division in football, the Cowboys don't look that bad. 3-3 isn't impressive (and expected of the Cowboys), but two of their losses came against the undefeated Broncos and Chiefs.
 
13. Tennessee Titans:35
Last week: 8
Notes:  The Titans put up a decent fight against the Seahawks on the road, but came out on the losing end. A Colts loss keeps them one game back of the division.

14.  Miami Dolphins: 30
Last week: 11
Notes: The Dolphins next two games are two important divisional games against the Bills and Patriots. They'll need to win both to have a shot at the division.


15. Carolina Panthers: 29
Last week: 21
Notes: When the Panthers win, they win convincingly. A dominant win over the Vikings.

16. Baltimore Ravens:27
Last week: 9
Notes: The loss drops the Ravens to second place. Their next 3 games are divisional games.

17. San Diego Chargers:21
Last week: 19
Notes: A lot of people are surprised by the Chargers "upset", but the Chargers are an improved team this year (despite their 3-3 record). If Rivers and co. can keep up their level of play, 10-6 isn't an unrealistic expectation from this team even in the difficult AFC West.
 
18. Cleveland Browns:5
Last week: 12
Notes: The Browns finally lose. Things don't get easier with road games against the Packers and Chiefs.

19. Philadelphia Eagles: -1
Last Week: 23
Notes: No Vick? No problem. The Eagles were able to take advantage of a beyond struggling Tampa Bay.
  
20. Arizona Cardinals -5
Last week: 16
Notes: A win over the 49ers would have been huge for this Cardinals team.

21. St. Louis Rams -8
Last Week: 28
Notes: After looking like one of the weaker teams in the NFL, the Rams absolutely destroyed the Texans and are now back at .500.
22 New York Jets: -26
Last week: 18
Notes:  Rex Ryan said next week's game isn't a "must win", but it really is for the Jets to have any shot of the division.


23. Buffalo Bills -38
Last week: 22
Notes: A good effort against the Bengals, but in typical Bills fashion, they end up just missing out on a win. They now have even more issues with the QB position.

24. Oakland Raiders -41
Last week: 20
Notes: The Raiders looked competitive against the Chiefs up until the 4th quarter (which is what the Chiefs have been doing to opponents all year).

25.  Atlanta Falcons -46
Last week: 25
Notes: The Falcons hope to rebound after their bye week. Their first game is against the Bucs. If they can't win this game, you can put a fork in them.

26. Pittsburgh Steelers: -71
Last week: 30
Notes: The Steelers finally win a game. In order for them to pull of a miracle, they cannot lose to the Ravens next week.

27. Minnestota Vikings -76
Last week: 24
Notes: They looked terrible against the Panthers.


28. Washington Redskin: -77
Last week: 26
Notes: The Redskins were 3 games out of first last year after playing 9 games in 2012 and ended up making the playoffs, but this team doesn't look like they can pull up the same feat.
 
29. Houston Texans  -88
Last week: 27
Notes: The Texans aren't just underperforming, they look terrible.
 
30. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: -106
Last week: 29
Notes: Another week, another loss for Tampa Bay.
31. New York Giants: - 182
Last week: 31
Notes: If anything positive can be said about the game against the Bears is that they at least looked somewhat competitive. They actually have a shot of winning next week with a home game against he Vikings.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars:-198
Last week: 32
Notes: Give the Jags credit for coming out swinging and looking competitive for some of the game against the Broncos.

Tuesday, October 8, 2013

NFL Power Rankings - Week 6


1. Denver Broncos 184
Last week: 1
Notes: A close one against the Cowboys, but Peyton Manning's offense continues to look unstoppable. The Broncos didn't punt once against the Cowboys and put up 51 points.

2New Orleans Saints 154
Last week: 3
Notes:  They deserve to be here after starting the season 5-0 (when last year they were 0-5). They should easily take hold of the NFC South.

3. Kansas City Chiefs 153
Last week: 4
Notes:  They keep continuing to win and are now one of only 3 undefeated teams left in the league.
4. Seattle Seahawks124
Last week: 2
Notes: Tough game on the road against the Colts. They should win the next one at home against the Titans.

5. Indianapolis Colts: 121
Last week: 6
Notes: The Colts continue to further themselves from everyone else in the AFC South. Impressive win against the Seahawks.
6. New England Patriots: 83
Last week: 5
Notes: The Pats finally lose and now hold only a one game lead in the division.


7.  San Francisco 49ers 51
Last week: 17
Notes: The 49ers look to be back. The win puts them one game behind the Seahawks.
 
8. Tennessee Titans:50
Last week: 7
Notes:  The Titans lost to a very good Chiefs team. They face another difficult match up next week against the Seahawks on the road.

9. Baltimore Ravens: 44
Last week: 12
Notes: In a very close division (minus the Steelers), the Ravens look to be slightly better than the Browns and the Bengals. Although who wins the division is anyone's guess right now. 
10. Detroit Lions:38
Last week: 8
Notes: The Lions need to play teams like the Packers better if anyone is going to take them seriously as a threat for a division winner.
 
11.  Miami Dolphins: 37
Last week: 9
Notes:  Two losses in a row now for Miami. Things get easier next week with a game at home against the Bills.


12. Cleveland Browns: 36
Last week: 18
Notes: The Browns keep showing that their turnaround is no fluke.
13. Chicago Bears 35
Last week: 10
Notes:After starting the season strong, the Bears lose two in a row. They should rebound against a beyond struggling Giants team.


14. Cincinnati Bengals: 34
Last week: 19
Notes:  Impressive defense showing against the Pats. Their next four games aren't easy, but all winnable, before two very important match ups against the Ravens and the Browns.

15. Green Bay Packers: 31
Last week: 13
Notes: An important win for the Packers that puts them back in the division race.

16. Arizona Cardinals 26
Last week: 21
Notes:The Cardinals are 3-2 this year after starting last season 4-1 but this Cardinals team looks much improved.
 
17Dallas Cowboys: 18
Last Week: 11
Notes: The Cowboys played the Broncos a lot closer than people expected, but the defense still gave up 51 points and Romo found a way to lose the game. Not a sign of a good team.

18 New York Jets: 5
Last week: 22
Notes:  At this point of the season, nobody expected the Jets to be above .500. The Jets might not look like an elite team, but they're finding ways to win games and remind me of the Jets from 3 years ago.


19. San Diego Chargers: -9
Last week: 15
Notes: The loss against the Raiders pretty much seals their fate for the AFC West. No way they're going to catch both the Broncos and the Chiefs.



20. Oakland Raiders -12
Last week: 25
Notes: The Raiders finally beat someone other than the Jaguars and show that they can potentially be a .500 team this year.
  
21. Carolina Panthers: -13
Last week: 14
Notes:  Back to reality for the Panthers. The way the Giants have been playing, that win two weeks ago doesn't seem so impressive anymore.

22. Buffalo Bills -20
Last week: 16
Notes: The Bills had a chance to be one game out from the Patriots, but instead they lose to the red hot Browns.
  
23. Philadelphia Eagles: -22
Last Week: 27
Notes: The Eagles schedule has consisted of either very easy (Giants, Redskins) or very hard (Chiefs, Broncos) games with only one middle of the road game (Chargers) which makes it hard to gauge how good this team actually is.

24. Minnestota Vikings -40
Last week: 24
Notes: The Bears and Lions losing keeps the Vikings hopes alive, but they'll need to do a lot better than they have been their first 4 games. Don't think Freeman will be the answer.

25.  Atlanta Falcons -42
Last week: 23
Notes: Now at 1-4, the Falcons already lost more games than they did all of 2012.



26. Washington Redskin: -46
Last week: 26
Notes: The Redskins somewhat benefited from the bye week with the Cowboys losing against the Broncos.
 
27. Houston Texans  -48
Last week: 20
Notes: Yes they are the Texans and yes they won the division last year, but they don't look like the same team.

28. St. Louis Rams -50
Last Week: 29
Notes: The Rams gain a confidence boost by playing the Jaguars. 
29. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: -76
Last week: 28
Notes: Freeman's gone, but don't think it will do much to improve the Bucc's.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: -101
Last week: 30
Notes: Now that the Ravens, Bengals, and Browns are all 3-2, the Steelers will have to play great football from here on out to have any chance to not end in the season in last place.

31. New York Giants: - 161
Last week: 31
Notes: When do the Giants officially give up? It seems like they have already from day one.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars:-174
Last week: 32
Notes: I don't see a winnable game on the Jags schedule. Closest is home against the Chargers or Bills, but I can't imagine them winning any of those games.

Wednesday, October 2, 2013

NFL Power Rankings - Week 5


1. Denver Broncos 164
Last week: 1
Notes: Still the best. They might be more dominant than the 2007 Patriots.


2. Seattle Seahawks 135
Last week: 2
Notes:  Just when you think the Seahawks would lose, they bounce back and have an impressive road win.
 
3New Orleans Saints 126
Last week: 4
Notes:  The Saints look like they can give the Seahawks a run for their money come playoff time.
 
4. Kansas City Chiefs 125
Last week: 6
Notes:  Their schedule might have been "weak" so far, but they're playing great football.

5. New England Patriots: 105
Last week: 7
Notes: The Pats almost let a comeback happen against the Falcons, but find themselves at 4-0 and look to be a lock again for the AFC East.

6. Indianapolis Colts:88
Last week: 9
Notes: The Colts look like the best team in the AFC South.

7. Tennessee Titans: 67
Last week: 13
Notes:  The Titans have defied expectations so far this year, but the injury to Locker might ultimately hurt this team.

8. Detroit Lions: 66
Last week: 11
Notes: Can the Lions go from worst to first? The way they've been playing, it certainly looks like it.
 
9.  Miami Dolphins: 52
Last week: 5
Notes:  They lost against a very good Saints team. I think the Dolphins will continue to be competitive for a playoff spot all year.
 
10. Chicago Bears 51
Last week: 3
Notes:
Tough loss and almost an impressive comeback against the Lions. With the competition in the NFC, they'll need to maintain the same level of play they showed the first 3 games of the season.

11Dallas Cowboys: 29
Last Week: 10
Notes: It's pretty sad when 2-2 is "dominating" in your respective division.
 
12. Baltimore Ravens: 21
Last week: 12
Notes: Hard to say who is the best in the AFC North right now. Even with a surprising loss to the Bills, the Ravens look to be the best.
 
13. Green Bay Packers: 19
Last week: 16
Notes: The Packers will need to play at their best with the Lions and Bears both having great seasons.
 
14. Carolina Panthers: 18
Last week: 17
Notes:  They went into the bye week strong and hopefully will continue the same level of play.
 
15. San Diego Chargers: 16
Last week: 19
Notes: The Chargers get back to .500 after a great win over the Cowboys.
 
16. Buffalo Bills 12
Last week: 22
Notes: What a confidence boost for this Bills team.

17.  San Francisco 49ers 11
Last week: 20
Notes: A must need win against the Rams, but they need to beat better quality opponents moving forward to prove themselves.
 
18. Cleveland Browns: 4
Last week: 23
Notes:  Can Hoyer lead this team to a division win? The way the Ravens and Bengals have been playing, it certainly can happen.
 
19. Cincinnati Bengals: 3
Last week: 8
Notes:  Originally the favorite to win the division, the Bengals will have a tough time getting ahead of the Ravens and, surprisingly, the Browns.

20. Houston Texans  2
Last week: 15
Notes: They're 2-2, which isn't terrible, but they look like a bad 2-2 team.

21. Arizona Cardinals -10
Last week: 26
Notes: A win against the Buccs puts them back at .500.
 
22 New York Jets: -11
Last week: 14
Notes:  Smith looked bad and the Jets lost two of their starting receivers. Things don't look great for the Jets.
 
23.  Atlanta Falcons -21
Last week: 18
Notes: The Falcons are now at 1-3 after losing to the Pats. Sure, they're 3 losses came against great teams, but they already matched their loss total from last year.
 
24. Minnestota Vikings -40
Last week: 28
Notes: The Vikings win the battle of the 0-3 teams in London.
 
25. Oakland Raiders -45
Last week: 24
Notes: The Raiders only win has come against the lowly Jags.
 
26. Washington Redskin: -46
Last week: 31
Notes: The Redskins finally get a win. 1-3 in the NFC East means you're far from out of it.

27. Philadelphia Eagles: -50
Last Week: 21
Notes: The Eagles look to be little improved from their 4-12 record last year.

28. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: - 72
Last week: 29
Notes: They play teams close, but 0-4 is still 0-4.

29. St. Louis Rams -97
Last Week: 25
Notes: I expected the Rams to either be around .500 this year or a little above, but they look to be the worst in the NFC West.

30. Pittsburgh Steelers: -101
Last week: 27
Notes: The way the Browns have been playing, the Steelers look to be a lock for last place in the AFC North.

31. New York Giants: - 131
Last week: 30
Notes: As a Giants fan, it pains me to put them in this spot, but how can I not? They've been playing terribly. The only bright side is that they are in the NFC East and only two games out of first.

32. Jacksonville Jaguars:-144
Last week: 32
Notes: Still terrible.
