Their dominance the first 10 games keeps them at the #3 spot, but they look like a team who will struggle against whoever they end up playing in the divisional round.</span><br />

<b style="line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> The Steelers' offense is Super Bowl caliber, but their defense will likely prevent them from getting there. Still, a nice against the Bengals. </span><br />

<b>Notes:</b> The Panthers are now on a 13 regular game winning streak. They're most difficult match-up for the remaining of the season are two games against the Falcons. 16-0 is possible for the this team.</div>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "georgia" , serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> A surprising Bengals loss. Good teams are the ones with "short memories" and don't let losses like that effect the next game. They face a tough match-up against the Cardinals next week.</span><br />

There are still 5 undefeated teams left heading into Week 7.</span><br />

The Dolphins are playing their best football right now and should give the Patriots a run for their money, but Brady & Co will win this one as well. </span><br />

Their defense should have a field day though against the Browns next week.</span></div>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> 6-0 is 6-0, but they are not as good as their record indicates. Every game, with the exception of the terrible Lions, was decided by 7 points or less. Don't get me wrong, they are a good team, but they are not at the level of the Packers, Patriots, Bengals, and Panthers.</span><br />

<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Last Week: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">7</span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> If I were to say the Falcons would be 6-1 at the beginning of this season, you would likely say that's easily good enough for first place in the NFC South. Not this year with how the Panthers are playing. Outside of two Panthers games and <i>possibly</i> the Colts, they have a fairly easy schedule for the rest of the year and should be able to get back into the playoffs.</span><br />

<b style="line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> Despite the loss, they continue to look great. The 4-2 Jets are looking more and more like the wild card favorite in the AFC.</span><br />

<b style="line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> This team doesn't get as much respect / credit as the other above .500 teams, likely due to who they've beaten. Outside of their week 1 loss to the 49ers though, they're only loss was by 3 against the undefeated Broncos. With the Falcons looking like the only solid wild card team, they look like the favorite for a 5 or 6 seed.</span></div>

<b style="line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> With how the rest of the NFC East is playing out, they look to be (barely) the favorite to win the division, but they will struggle against anybody they go against in the playoffs if they don't improve their pass rush.</span><br />

All of their losses were against undefeated teams with the exception of the Rams who they always seem to struggle against. They should be able to win against the Romo-less Cowboys, but the following matchup against the Cardinals will be really interesting.</span></span></div>

This is based on record, opponent, points scored versus points against, and a few other factors with the total score being listed next to the team name. Here is the first one we're doing for the 2015-2016 season.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">1. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><u>Green Bay Packers</u></b><u style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.8px;">:</u><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> 152</span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes: </b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> With Seattle playing well below expectations, they look like the team to beat in the NFC.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">2. </span><u style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.8px;">New England Patriots:</u><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> 151</span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> Patriots are a great team, but seem to play even better with a chip on their shoulder. They will likely look to rack up a ton of points next week against the Colts after all that took place in the offseason.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> With the exception of the loss to the Rams, the Cardinals have been dominating each game. The offense was expected to be good, but their defense has been impressive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">4. </span><u style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 20.8px;">Atlanta Falcons:</u><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> 148</span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> Despite the fact that they squeaked by a couple of wins and played all sub .500 teams (minus the Giants), 5-0 is 5-0. They won't face an above .500 team until the Colts in week 11.</span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">5. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><u>Cincinnati Bengals</u>:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">143</span><br />
<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> 5-0 for the first time since 1988, the last time they went to the Super Bowl. They look like the best team in the AFC minus the Patriots.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> Their defense is the reason this team is undefeated so far, not Peyton Manning.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"><br /></span>

<b>Notes:</b> After last year, who would have thought the NFC South would have 2 undefeated teams at this point in the season? They faced pretty easy competition and have their first true "test' against the Seahawks on the road.</div>

Decent team, great defense, and a QB that's mediocre but competent enough to win games.</span></span></div>

<b style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20.8px;"> Another game winning drive for Eli that puts the Giants in first by themselves in the NFC East. If it wasn't for poor clock management and play calling in the 4th quarter of their first two games, this team could have been 5-0.</span></div>

<b style="line-height: 20.8px;">Notes:</b><span style="line-height: 20.8px;"> The Bills cut penalties and squeaked by a win against the Titans. With McCoy and Watkins expected to come back this week (and Taylor likely not missing any playing time), Bills are in good shape to capture a wildcard. However, next week will be a big challenge against the Bengals.</span></div>

10. <b>Tesoro</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Westbury<br />
<b>Overview:</b> Most would include Vincent's Clam Bar or The Trattoria as their favorite Italian place on Long Island, but my favorite is a lesser known one called Tesoro in Westbury. The staff always treats you like family (which isn't unusual for Italian places, but I feel they do an extra great job at that) and the food is the best I had relative to Italian cuisine.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Veal Castagna<br />
<br />
9. <b>New Chili & Curry</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Hicksville<br />
<b>Overview:</b> Picking a place for Indian food can be overwhelming in Hicksville with all of the options, but New Chili & Curry stands out as the best. Always a wait, but worth it. You can get great Indian food elsewhere in Hicksville, but none are as good as New Chili & Curry.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Mango Chicken<br />
<br />
<br />
8. <b>Kotobuki</b><br />
<b>Location: </b>Roslyn, Babylon, Hauppauge<br />
<b>Overview:</b> I can only vouch for the Roslyn location, but I've been to maybe 100 sushi places on Long Island and Kotobuki is the best. The fish is always fresh and delicious and they offer a variety of unique rolls. You can't go wrong with any roll you get! Only downside is no reservations and a long wait.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Puff the Magic Dragon Roll<br />
<br />
7. <b>Noah's</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Greenport<br />
<b>Overview:</b> Greenport is a popular tourist destination which results in a bunch of dining options in the area. Many are "tourist traps", overpriced, and not great, but Noah's stands out among the clutter of mediocre dining options. I've heard that service here isn't great, but I've always had good experiences with the wait staff and always have found their food to be delicious.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Lobster Mac and Cheese<br />
<br />
6. <b>Swallow</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Huntington<br />
<b>Overview:</b> An always changing, but always delicious menu of small plates. You're lucky that they offer small plates because when you come here you're going to want to get a bunch of different options. They also have a great selection of beer.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Crispy Calamari<br />
<br />
5. <b>Vitae Restaurant & Wine Bar</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Huntington<br />
<b>Overview:</b> Huntington is the best town for dining options in Long Island and Vitae stands out as one of the best restaurants in the area. Delicious food and great service - you can't go wrong with any dish here. They aren't a steakhouse, but their steak is better than any steak I've gotten at a steakhouse.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Filet Mignon with Bernaise Sauce<br />
<br />
4. <b>Smokin' Al's</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Massapequa Park<br />
<b>Overview:</b> The opposite of fine dining, but Smokin' Als is the best option for delicious BBQ on Long Island. Their meat, sauce, and sides are all delicious and it's rare you won't walk away with two days worth of leftovers. Sure, there are better options in the south for BBQ, but when it comes to the Long Island (and NYC), you can't beat Smokin' Als for BBQ.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> The Big Melt with Brisket<br />
<br />
3. <b>Lola</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Great Neck<br />
<b>Overview:</b> Great Neck is known for having a ton of Asian restaurants (especially sushi), but the best dining option in the tow is modern American at Lola's. Lola's offers a variety of small plates and entrees that are unique and delicious. The chef / owner has his own duck farm which results in a bunch of delicious duck options.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Brussel Sprouts (the best sprouts you'll ever eat).<br />
<br />
2. <b>Waterzooi</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Garden City<br />
<b>Overview:</b> For out of this world mussels, you can't beat Waterzooi in Garden City. I've had all of their broths and they are all delicious. The garlic mayo that comes with the frites are addictive. This place has probably the best Belgian beer selection you can get on Long Island as well.<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Creole Mussels<br />
<br />
1. <b>Besito</b><br />
<b>Location:</b> Roslyn & Huntington<br />
<b>Overview:</b> Besito offers absolutely delicious upscale Mexican and the best table side guacamole you can get it in Long Island. This, along with their extensive tequila menu, great drinks, and great service, puts them at #1 on the list<br />
<b>Must Get:</b> Budin de Mariscos (Tortilla Pie with Shrimp)<br />

<br />
<b>AFC</b><br />
<br />
<i>Wild Card<b></b></i><br />
<br />
Steelers 28 - Ravens 17<br />
<br />
Colts 24 - Bengals 16<br />
<br />
The Steelers and Ravens are 1-1 in the series against each other this year, but with wins at home. The Steelers play at home and I don't buy the whole "Flacco is elite in the Playoffs"<br />
<br />
They last time these two teams faced, the Colts dominated them at home 27-0. It won't be as substantial as a win, but the Colts are the better team.<br />
<br />
<i>Divisional</i><br />
<br />
Broncos 30 - Steelers 24<br />
<br />
Patriots 33 - Colts 21<br />
<br />
I actually think the Steelers have a chance for the upset, but hard to go against a Broncos team who's undefeated at home and who has Manning leading the way.<br />
<br />
The Pats are simply the better team here. The Colts are outmatched and will have a hard time winning this game.<br />
<br />
<br />
<i>Championship</i><br />
<br />
Patriots 30 - Broncos 27<br />
<br />
Safe prediction having these two teams in the championship game and having the Pats winning, but it is definitely the most logical choice. Brady and Pats find themselves back in the Super Bowl.<br />
<br />
<b>NFC</b><br />
<br />
<i>Wild Card<b></b></i><br />
<br />
Lions 31 - Cowboys 17<br />
<br />
Panthers 17 - Cardinals 12<br />
<br />
Can a home game actually hurt the Cowboys? It just might. The Cowboys have a ton of weapons on offense, but the Lions are fortunate to have Suh back in on D. Romo still has to prove himself in high pressure situations like this in order for me to pick a team who is .500 at home (even if the opponent is .500 on the road)<br />
<br />
The Panthers and Cardinals is a tough one to predict. I see it being a low scoring game, with the Cardinals team keeping them in it, but the offense not able to do enough to win the game. The Panthers are 7-8-1, but they've been playing like a playoff team their last four games.<br />
<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Divisional</i><br />
<br />
Seahawks 24 - Lions 14<br />
<br />
Packers 31 - Panthers 20<br />
<br />
The Seahawks are the hottest team in football right now and the Lions are .500 on the road. I think Stafford will have a hard time against the Seahawks team and their 12th man.<br />
<br />
Packers are the better team, are undefeated at home, and have Aaron Rodgers. Simple as that. I'd be shocked if Rodgers doesn't play this game with his injury. If he doesn't, I'd pick the Panthers here.<br />
<br />
<i>Championship</i><br />
<br />
Packers 28 - Seahawks 20<br />
<br />
On paper, you'd pick the Seahawks (especially at home), but I think Rodgers will find a way to get it done.<br />
<br />
<b>Super Bowl</b><br />
<b><br /></b>Packers 27 - Patriots 24<br />
<br />
In a close battle, I'm picking the Packers. This will be one of those games where it comes down to the QB. Both are one of the best in the league, but giving Rodgers the slight edge.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06741032462398504167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730719338938995526.post-26147091183965469482014-12-30T05:34:00.001-08:002014-12-30T05:34:54.874-08:00NFL Power Rankings - FinalThe NFL season has come to an end. Final power rankings below.<br />
<br />
1. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots:</u> 328<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The best team in the NFL. While I wouldn't say "clear favorite", they are definitely the favorite in the AFC to make it to the Super Bowl.<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b><br /></b></div>
2. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle Seahawks:</u> 321<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Just like the Pats are the favorite in the AFC, the Seahawks are the favorite in the NFC, especially with home field advantage throughout the playoffs.<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b><br /></b></div>
3. <b><u>Green Bay Packers</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 314<br />
<b>Notes: </b>Aaron Rodgers told Packers to "relax" and he was right as the Packers end the season at 12-4 with a bye week in the Playoffs.<br />
<br />
4. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Denver Broncos:</u> 301<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Will Peyton Manning redeem get another chance at the Super Bowl this year? It will be tough. Tougher competition and you get the feeling that, while a very good team, this Broncos team isn't as dominate as last year.<br />
<br />
5. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Dallas Cowboys:</u> 280<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Many thought that going into this year that the Cowboys would have this record, but in reverse. The combination of Romo, Bryant, and Murray will be difficult to stop in the playoffs.<br />
<b><br /></b>
6. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Indianapolis Colts:</u> 216<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They get a match-up against, in my opinion, the weakest opponent in the AFC. The last time these two teams met, the Colts blew them out 27-0.<br />
<br />
7. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Baltimore Ravens:</u> 198<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They are a lot better than a typical 6th seed (even if they just squeaked in). While I don't expect them to make the Super Bowl, I wouldn't be shocked if they found a way to win it all.<br />
<b><br /></b>
8. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Pittsburgh Steelers:</u> 191<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> Big Ben and team are back in the playoffs for the first time since 2011. While a very talented team, they've also been playing to their competition all year long resulting in surprising losses to the Saints, Buccs, and Jets and barely squeaking bye against the Titans, Jaguars, and Falcons. The Steelers are 1-1 in the series against the Ravens, but did beat them at home by 20 points.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
9. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Detroit Lions:</u> 183<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Lions always had talent, but usually were their own worst enemies. This year, they finally got it figured out and are in the playoffs. The loss of Suh hurts them, however, against a great Cowboys offense.<br />
<b><br /></b>
10. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Eagles:</u> 178<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The best non-playoff team (in terms of record and talent). While they ended with the same record as last year, this team would have likely won a couple more teams with a QB not named Mark Sanchez. They should be in great shape in 2015 as long as players stay healthy.<br />
<br />
11. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Arizona Cardinals:</u> 160<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Cardinals are fortunate enough to have one of the best coaches in the league (Bruce Arians) and a match-up against a below .500 team. However, the Cardinals are having difficulty stopping the run which might make the Panthers not so easy of a match-up after all.<br />
<b><br /></b>
12. <b><u>Cincinnati Bengals</u>:</b> 143<br />
<b>Notes:</b> In my opinion, the weakest of the playoff teams outside of the Panthers. I think the Colts end up blowing them out.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
13. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Kansas City Chiefs:</u> 139<br />
<b>Notes:</b> While fans will be disappointed that the Chiefs couldn't get back to the playoffs for the 2nd straight year, 9-7 was better than most anticipated for this team.<br />
<br />
14. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Buffalo Bills:</u> 130<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bills were much improved this year, ending the season at 9-7. If they figure out the QB situation next year, they'll be a dangerous team.<br />
<b><br /></b>
15. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Houston Texans:</u> 111<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Another team that should significant improvements after ending the last season at 2-14.<br />
<br />
16. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Diego Chargers:</u> 72<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Hard not to be disappointed if you're a Chargers fan when this team looked like the best in the league the first half of the season. Now they're not even in the playoffs.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<div style="margin: 0px;">
17. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Miami Dolphins:</u> 51</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> Another "average" season for the Dolphins. Since 2009, they've ended the season with a record of either 6-10, 7-9, or 8-8.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
18. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Francisco 49ers:</u> 10<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Jim Harbaugh and team part ways after ending the season at 8-8. It will be tough to find a replacement nearly as good as him.<br />
<br />
19. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Minnesota Vikings:</u> -17<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Despite ending the season with a losing record, this Vikings team is much improved (especially with the distractions with Adrian Peterson). This could easily be a playoff team next year.<br />
<br />
20. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Carolina Panthers:</u> -23<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> The Panthers get into the playoffs with a below .500 record after dominating the Falcons. Even thought they're the clear "worst" out of the 12 teams, they're no easy out.<br />
<br />
21. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New Orleans Saints:</u> -25<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Is this the end of Drew Brees? He'll be back next season, sure, but there's no way this team will be a contender if he continues to play like he did in 2014.</div>
<br />
22. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Cleveland Browns:</u> -45<br />
<b>Notes:</b> If I told you at the beginning of the season the Browns would be 7-9, you would view that as a success. However, after losing 5 in a row, it's hard not to be disappointed if you're a Browns fan.<br />
<br />
23. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Giants:</u> -58<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Coughlin is back after surviving Black Monday. This team has potential to be one of the best offensively in the league with Beckham (who might be a #1 or #2 receiver next year) and Cruz as receivers and Williams and Jennings as RBs. If things get better on D and the offense stays healthy they'll be in a playoff team in 2015.<br />
<br />
24. <u style="font-weight: bold;">St. Louis Rams:</u> -63<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Rams continue to be one of those teams that are tough to read. 6-10 is disappointing, but in some games they looked like a 12-4 team (particularly against the Raiders and Redskins and arguably against the Broncos).<br />
<br />
25. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Falcons:</u> -77<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Mike Smith is gone. Matt Ryan is clearly a QB that can lead this team to the playoffs (even after the poor showing against the Panthers), but the team needs to make improvements on D in order to have a shot at the playoffs.<br />
<br />
26. <b><u>Chicago Bears</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> -186<br />
<b>Notes:</b> I thought this team was going to be a wildcard team this year. Emery and Trestman are, unsurprisingly, gone and the Bears need to make a decision about what they should do with Cutler.<br />
<br />
27. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Jets:</u> -218<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Ryan and Idzik are gone. Not surprised, although it will be tough to replace some as great as Rex Ryan. Having Geno Smith leading your team won't be doing you any good.<br />
<br />
28, <u style="font-weight: bold;">Washington Redskins:</u> -247<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Gruden gets another chance in 2015. With how things work in the NFC East (and in the NFL in general) this team could find a way to sneak back into the playoffs, but it will be very difficult with the great offenses of the Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles.<br />
<br />
29. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tampa Bay Buccaneers:</u> -303<br />
<b>Notes: </b>The Buccaneers "earn" the #1 draft in 2015. However, I don't think they're the worst team in the league.<br />
<b><br /></b>
30. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Jacksonville Jaguars:</u> -312<br />
<b>Notes:</b> This team plays like they're in the playoff race every week, but 3-13 is still 3-13.<br />
<br />
31. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Oakland Raiders:</u> -325<br />
<b>Notes:</b> I can't see the Raiders making much improvements next year unless they make some drastic changes. Tony Sparano will likely be gone after next year.<br />
<br />
32. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tennessee Titans:</u> -367<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Very similar team to the Texans of 2013. They win their first game, are 2-4 after week 6, and then lose out the rest of the season (not identical, but similar). However, hard to imagine them having a winning record in 2015 like the Texans did in 2014.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06741032462398504167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730719338938995526.post-78376096371911196672014-10-29T13:31:00.002-07:002014-10-29T13:31:26.360-07:00NFL Power Rankings - Week 9This week's power rankings below.<br />
<br />
1. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Denver Broncos:</u> 187<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 1<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Week after week they continue to show why they are, by far, the best team in the NFL.<br />
<br />
2. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots:</u> 136<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 10<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A giant jump in the power rankings, but can you blame me? Brady and company are looking more and more like the Patriots of 2007.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
3. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Dallas Cowboys:</u> 130<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 3<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A surprising loss to the Redskins, but the Cowboys still are looking like the best in the NFC.<br />
<br />
4. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Baltimore Ravens:</u> 129<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 4<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Ravens lose a close one to the Bengals. In a tight AFC North, it might cost them the division.<br />
<br />
5. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Arizona Cardinals:</u> 128<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 8<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Cardinals continue to show why they are the real deal this year. Nobody had them winning the NFC West, but they look like the best team in that division by far.<br />
<br />
6. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Indianapolis Colts:</u> 121<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 2<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Andrew Luck looks great each week, but the defense gave up 51 points against the Steelers.<br />
<br />
7. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Detroit Lions:</u> 118<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 9<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Lions are known to have a lot of penalties, but the delay of game ended up working out to their advantage. If it didn't happen, they would have lost.<br />
<br />
8. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Eagles:</u> 114<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 5<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Eagles lose a close one against a good Cardinals team. Whether they win the NFC East or not, they should still be a wildcard team.<br />
<br />
9. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Diego Chargers:</u> 101<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 6<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Chargers aren't looking as dominant as they were prior to their losses against the Chiefs and Broncos. Could be a cause for concern with how great the AFC North is shaping up to be.<br />
<br />
10. <b><u>Green Bay Packers</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 87<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 7<br />
<b>Notes: </b>A loss against the Saints drop the Packers out of 1st.<br />
<br />
11. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Kansas City Chiefs:</u> 85<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 13<br />
<b>Notes:</b> It was considered a surprising win against the Chargers, but maybe this Chiefs team is for real and is starting to come together.<br />
<br />
12. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Buffalo Bills:</u> 66<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 14<br />
<b>Notes:</b> If you're the Bills, you have to feel good about where you are right now. 5-3 heading into the bye after dominating the Jets.<br />
<br />
13. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle Seahawks:</u> 62<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 12<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They won, but the Seahawks continue to struggle.<br />
<br />
14. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Pittsburgh Steelers:</u> 56<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 16<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> Big Ben is looking out of this world ridiculous right now. The Steelers are known to play up or down to their competition. However, if Big Ben continues to play this way they will be unstoppable.<br />
<br />
15. <b><u>Cincinnati Bengals</u>:</b> 47<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 15<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bengals get a nice bounce back win in an important divisional game against the Ravens.<br />

<div style="margin: 0px;">
16. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Miami Dolphins:</u> 46</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Last Week:</b> 17</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> The Dolphins beat a team they were supposed to, but this team will be quietly in the playoff race all year.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
17. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Francisco 49ers:</u> 44<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 11<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A bad bye week for the 49ers with the Seahawks and Cardinals winning.<br />
<br />
18. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Houston Texans:</u> 29<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 19<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Texans get back to .500 with a win over the Titans.<br />
<br />
19. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Cleveland Browns:</u> 28<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 18<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Cleveland didn't fall victim to another winless team. It's funny to think the Browns might end up in last place in the AFC North, but could go 9-7 or better.<br />
<br />
20. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New Orleans Saints:</u> 9<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 23<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A tale of two teams. The Saints continue to dominate at home, but need to find ways to win on the road.<br />
<br />
21. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Giants:</u> -4<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 20<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Giants had a good bye week with losses by the Eagles and Cowboys. However, it's probably too little too late.<br />
<br />
22. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Carolina Panthers:</u> -40<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 22<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
</div>
<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> The Panthers might very well win the NFC South with a record below .500. </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
23, <u style="font-weight: bold;">Washington Redskins:</u> -41<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 25<br />
<b>Notes:</b> McCoy is providing an added spark to this team.<br />
<br />
24. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Minnesota Vikings:</u> -56<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 27<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They find themselves on the winning side of a close game this time. If they didn't give up that last minute winning drive to the Bills, this team would be at .500.<br />
<br />
25. <b><u>Chicago Bears</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> -62<br />
<b>Last Week: </b>21<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bears were thought to be a playoff team heading into this year. They might be one of the 3 worst teams in the NFC.<br />
<br />
26. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Falcons:</u> -78<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 26<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Falcons blow a 21 point lead against the Lions and lose the game. You can argue that the delay of game penalty screwed them, but it should never have gotten to that point.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
27. <u style="font-weight: bold;">St. Louis Rams:</u> -108<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 24<br />
<b>Notes:</b> After a great game against the Seahawks the Rams look terrible against the Chiefs.<br />
<br /></div>
28. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tennessee Titans:</u> -114<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 28<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Titans continue to play poor football.<br />
<br />
29. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tampa Bay Buccaneers:</u> -166<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 30<br />
<b>Notes: </b>It's crazy to me that Tampa Bay is at 1-6, but still only 2 games out of 1st.<br />
<div>
<br />
30. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Jets:</u> -168<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 29<br />
<b>Notes:</b> In past losses, you could argue that the Jets were showing some fight. Now, regardless if it's Smith or Vick at QB, they just look terrible.<br />
<br />
31. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Jacksonville Jaguars:</u> -185<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 31<br />
<b>Notes:</b> I can't see the Jags winning another game until week 16 at home against the Titans.<br />
<br />
32. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Oakland Raiders:</u> -188<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 32<br />
<b>Notes:</b> And with the Raiders, they don't have any winnable games on their schedule. At least Carr looks decent.</div>

<br />
1. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Denver Broncos:</u> 155<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 4<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The new #1 and deservingly so. Easily the best looking team in football right now.<br />
<br />
2. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Indianapolis Colts:</u> 155<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 6<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Colts have won 5 in a row after shutting out a decent Bengals offense.<br />
<br />
3. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Dallas Cowboys:</u> 154<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 2<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Cowboys continue to win and surprise everyone. Nobody thought they'd be at 6-1 at this point in the season.<br />
<br />
4. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Baltimore Ravens:</u> 154<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 5<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bengals were the favorite going into this season, but the Ravens look like the best in the AFC North.<br />
<br />
5. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Eagles:</u> 131<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 3<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Eagles lose their lead on the bye week with the Cowboys winning. A tough matchup is ahead on the road against the Cardinals.<br />
<br />
6. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Diego Chargers:</u> 125<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 1<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A surprising loss, but the Chargers are for real this year and should find their way into the playoffs.<br />
<br />
7. <b><u>Green Bay Packers</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 107<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 8<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Ever since Rodgers told everyone to "relax" the Packers have been on fire. They've won 4 in a row.<br />
<br />
8. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Arizona Cardinals:</u> 101<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 9<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Cardinals are winning against mediocre teams (outside of the Chargers and arguably the 49ers), but 5-1 is 5-1. They face tougher match ups against the Eagles and Cowboys.<br />
<br />
9. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Detroit Lions:</u> 100<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 7<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A win still moves this team down since the above teams just look better overall.<br />
<br />
10. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots:</u> 88<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 10<br />
<b>Notes:</b> It wasn't a great showing against the Jets, but the Pats win and are 5-2 on the season.<br />
<br />
11. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Francisco 49ers:</u> 48<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 11<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Definitely not the same 49ers team after getting destroyed by the Broncos. In a division with the Seahawks underperforming and the Cardinals not convincing everyone just yet, they still have a shot at winning the NFC West.<br />
<br />
12. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle Seahawks:</u> 43<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 13<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Seahawks are doing something that nobody thought was possible - losing at home. Who would have thought that this team would be 3-3 at this point of the season.<br />
<br />
13. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Kansas City Chiefs:</u> 41<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 18<br />
<b>Notes:</b> An impressive win against the Chargers that shows you can't count this team out just yet.<br />
<br />
14. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Buffalo Bills:</u> 28<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 20<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bills get a great last minute drive under Ortin, something that Manuel wouldn't have been able to do.<br />
<br />
15. <b><u>Cincinnati Bengals</u>:</b> 24<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 12<br />
<b>Notes:</b> After looking like the best in the NFL, they've been looking like one of the worst.<br />
<br />
16. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Pittsburgh Steelers:</u> 17<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 21<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> The Steelers have a nice bounce back win against the Texans and move out of the cellar.<br />
<br />
17. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Miami Dolphins:</u> 14<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 23<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Watch this team - I think they'll be a wildcard.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
18. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Cleveland Browns:</u> 11<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 14<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They go from impressive win to losing (by a decent margin) to the Jaguars. There's the Browns for you.<br />
<br />
19. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Houston Texans:</u> 0<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 15<br />
<b>Notes:</b> 3 minutes in the 2nd quarter basically put this game out of hand for the Texans.<br />
<br />
20. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Giants:</u> 0<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 19<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Giants could have entered the bye in first place with wins against the Eagles and Cowboys, instead they showed why they aren't in the same class as them right now. Eli looks good, but the O-line is terrible.<br />
<br />
21. <b><u>Chicago Bears</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> -19<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 17<br />
<b>Notes:</b> I had the Bears as a wildcard pick in the beginning of the year. Boy was I wrong.<br />
<br />
22. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Carolina Panthers:</u> -27<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 16<br />
<b>Notes:</b> In one of the worst football divisions I've seen for a while, the Panthers somehow managed to hold on to first place. A below .500 record might actually win the division.<br />
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
23. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New Orleans Saints:</u> -30<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 22<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Saints lose their lead and the game. What happened to this team?<br />
<br />
24. <u style="font-weight: bold;">St. Louis Rams:</u> -62<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 27<br />
<b>Notes:</b> That fake punt was one of the most exciting (if not the most) plays of the week. An impressive win on the road against the Seahawks.<br />
<b><br /></b>
25, <u style="font-weight: bold;">Washington Redskins:</u> -62<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 28<br />
<b>Notes:</b> McCoy > Cousins and showed why in a win against the Titans.<br />
<br /></div>
26. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Falcons:</u> -68<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 24<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Falcons continue to lose. Mike Smith will likely be fired after this year.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
27. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Minnesota Vikings:</u> -75<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 25<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A tough loss to take that knocks the Vikings down to 2-5.<br />
<br />
28. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tennessee Titans:</u> -86<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 26<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Titans face a divisional matchup against the Texans that would move them up 2nd place with a win.<br />
<div>
<br />
29. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Jets:</u> -139<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 29<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Jets continue to play better, but all they have to show for it is a 1-6 record. Will be interesting to see if Harvin can add an extra spark to this team.<br />
<br />
30. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tampa Bay Buccaneers:</u> -139<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 31<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Tampa Bay is surprisingly still in this since the NFC South is so bad. They need to beat the Vikings and Browns the next two weeks.<br />
<br />
31. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Jacksonville Jaguars:</u> -151<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 32<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Jaguars get their first win of the year. Hard to imagine this team finishing above 4-12 though.<br />
<br />
32. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Oakland Raiders:</u> -156<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 30<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The only winless team.Could they do what the Jags did and beat the Browns? Probably not.</div>

<br />
<br />
1. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Diego Chargers:</u> 138<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 1<br />
<b>Notes:</b> That game against the Raiders was a lot closer than expected, but the Chargers now find themselves at 5-1 atop a division that has the Broncos.<br />
<br />
2. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Dallas Cowboys:</u> 127<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 2<br />
<b>Notes:</b> That win against the Seahawks <i>on the road</i> shows that this Cowboys team is for real. The NFC East was expected to be one of the worst divisions in football, but it looks like there are two playoff teams coming from this division.<br />
<br />
3. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Eagles:</u> 126<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 3<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Eagles looked great on both sides of the ball against the Giants. They'll be rooting for the Giants while they're on the bye.<br />
<br />
4. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Denver Broncos:</u> 118<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 4<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Broncos went and beat the Jets like everyone expected to. The Week 8 match-up against the Chargers will be an exciting one.<br />
<br />
5. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Baltimore Ravens:</u> 117<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 8<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A complete annihilation of Tampa Bay. They're looking like the best team in the AFC North.<br />
<br />
6. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Indianapolis Colts:</u> 93<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 6<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Colts showed why they're still the best team in the AFC South with a win over the Texans.<br />
<br />
7. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Detroit Lions:</u> 84<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 12<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Lions look like one of the better teams in the NFC. Their main issue is getting in their own way with penalties and stupid mistakes. If they can avoid these, they should be a playoff team.<br />
<br />
8. <b><u>Green Bay Packers</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 81<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 9<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A close one against Miami, but the Packers now have won 3 in a row.<br />
<br />
9. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Arizona Cardinals:</u> 75<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 10<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Cardinals are 4-1, but have a point differential of only 10. They should hold on to first place in the NFC West with an upcoming game against the Raiders.<br />
<br />
10. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots:</u> 71<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 16<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Two convincing wins in a row. It's obvious now that the Pats are still the best in the AFC East.<br />
<br />
11. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Francisco 49ers:</u> 68<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 14<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The 49ers pulled out a win against the Rams and maintain 2nd place in the NFC West.<br />
<br />
12. <b><u>Cincinnati Bengals</u>:</b> 66<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 7<br />
<b>Notes:</b> And the Bengals are the first tie of 2014. With the way that the Ravens and Browns are playing, that tie could hurt more than help them.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
13. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle Seahawks:</u> 50<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 5<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Are the Cowboys really that good are is Seattle just not as good as last year? A combination of both. The injuries for the Seahawks are really effecting them.<br />
<br />
14. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Cleveland Browns:</u> 49<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 20<br />
<b>Notes:</b> This is the first time in years the Browns look destined to finish outside of last place in the AFC North.<br />
<br />
15. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Houston Texans:</u> 17<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 13<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Texans kept it close against the Colts, but they have the making of a .500 team.<br />
<br />
16. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Carolina Panthers:</u> 14<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 18<br />
<b>Notes:</b> While the tie might hurt the Bengals, it might help the Panthers in a very weak NFC South.<br />
<br />
17. <b><u>Chicago Bears</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 14<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 24<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bears bounced back with a win against the Falcons and are a game out of first.<br />
<br />
18. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Kansas City Chiefs:</u> 13<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 19<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Chiefs have a very tough game ahead - on the road against the Chargers. They need to win this to have any chance for the playoffs.<br />
<br />
19. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Giants:</u> 10<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 11<br />
<b>Notes:</b> After looking great the last 3 weeks, the Giants looked like an 0-16 team against the Eagles. They need to have a short memory and find a way to win on the road against a red hot Cowboys team. If they lose this one, it makes it almost impossible for them to win the division.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
20. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Buffalo Bills:</u> 7<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 15<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bills are slowly regressing back to reality. Ugly loss against the Pats.<br />
<br />
21. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Pittsburgh Steelers:</u> -10<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 17<br />
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<b>Notes:</b> The Steelers have talent, but they always seem to underestimate their competition. They look like a last place team.<br />
<br />
22. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New Orleans Saints:</u> -14<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 23<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Saints next 9 games are all against teams with a .500 record or better. Ouch.<br />
<br />
23. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Miami Dolphins:</u> -19<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 22<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They lost, but the Dolphins looked decent against a good Packers team.</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
24. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Falcons:</u> -26<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 21<br />
<b>Notes:</b> After looking like a potential playoff team, the Falcons look more like they did last year.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
25. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Minnesota Vikings:</u> -59<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 25<br />
<b>Notes:</b> There's no arguing that the Vikings are an improved team, but hard to imagine that they'll finish anywhere but last place.<br />
<br />
26. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tennessee Titans:</u> -79<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 28<br />
<b>Notes:</b> It was against the Jaguars, but a win is a win.<br />
<br />
<div>
27. <u style="font-weight: bold;">St. Louis Rams:</u> -89<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 26<br />
<b>Notes: </b>Instead of being close to making a great comeback, they instead blew a lead. Regardless, they are now at 1-5.<br />
<br />
28, <u style="font-weight: bold;">Washington Redskins:</u> -99<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 27<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Redskins have a winnable game next week against the Titans at home. It's one of the few games left on their schedule I can actually envision them winning.<br />
<br />
29. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Jets:</u> -127<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 30<br />
<b>Notes:</b> It wasn't as big of a blowout as I expected, but the Jets continue to look terrible.<br />
<br />
30. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Oakland Raiders:</u> -130<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 31<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Raiders move up with a loss as they made the game against the Chargers surprisingly competitive.<br />
<br />
31. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tampa Bay Buccaneers:</u> -139<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 29<br />
<b>Notes:</b> That game against the Steelers looks more and more like a fluke.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
32. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Jacksonville Jaguars:</u> -194<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 32<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Going into 2014, a home game against the Browns looked like a win for the Jags. Now it looks like an impossible feat.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06741032462398504167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730719338938995526.post-20228121391369675172014-10-08T05:17:00.002-07:002014-10-08T05:17:33.901-07:00NFL Power Rankings - Week 6This week's power rankings below.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Diego Chargers:</u> 125<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 3<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The new #1 and deservingly so. Yes it was a win against the Jets, but the Chargers look flat out dominant. They even found a way to run the ball effectively against them.<br />
<br />
2. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Dallas Cowboys:</u> 97<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 5<br />
<b>Notes:</b> As a Giants fan, it pains me to have them this high, but there's no arguing that they've been playing great football. They have a very difficult game ahead on the road against the Seahawks.<br />
<br />
3. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Eagles:</u> 79<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 8<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They made you sweat it out, but the Eagles beat the Rams and maintain first place in NFC East.<br />
<br />
4. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Denver Broncos:</u> 74<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 12<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Broncos only loss this season came on the road against the Seahawks. The toughest game on anyone's schedule.<br />
<b><br /></b>5. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle Seahawks:</u> 72<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 9<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They move up to 3-1 after a road win against the Redskins. It was good to see them beat a team on the road after losing badly to the Chargers, but it wasn't much of a convincing road win. After Dallas, they have two games on the road against the Rams and Panthers.<br />
<br />
6. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Indianapolis Colts:</u> 68<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 10<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Colts are back and are winners of 3 in a row.<br />
<br />
7. <b><u>Cincinnati Bengals</u>:</b> 66<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 1<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bengals found themselves playing against the Patriots when they were hungrier than ever for a win.<br />
<b><br /></b>8. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Baltimore Ravens:</u> 66<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 2<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Ravens lose to the Colts, but they have still been playing impressive football so far. Their two losses were by 1 possession and against the Bengals and Colts<br />
<br />
9. <b><u>Green Bay Packers</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 58<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 19<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Packers win big for their second straight week and look like the team to beat in the NFC North.<br />
<br />
10. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Arizona Cardinals:</u> 55<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 4<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Does anyone realize how brutal the Cardinals' schedule has been, but they still are at 3-1? Their first 3 wins came against the Chargers (4-1), Giants (3-2), and 49ers (3-2) and lost their first game against a very good Broncos team on the road. Their schedule gets easier with games against the Redskins and Raiders. This team can easily be 5-1 after 6 games.<br />
<br />
11. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Giants:</u> 52<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 14<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Giants west coast offense seems to be coming together. The team has put together 3 straight wins. Coming up are important divisional games against the Eagles and Cowboys (both on the road). Win the next two, would mean the Giants go into their bye week first place in the division.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
12. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Detroit Lions:</u> 50<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 6<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Lions let their lead slip away against the Bills and are now tied with the Packers for first.<br />
<br />
13. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Houston Texans:</u> 47<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 7<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Texans are certainly an improved team from last year, but not quite a playoff team just yet. They have the makings of an 8-8 team.<br />
<b><br /></b>
14. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Francisco 49ers:</u> 44<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 15<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They've won 2 in a row, but this 49ers team still doesn't look like the 49ers team of last year. With the way the Cardinals are playing and the Seahawks being the Seahawks, a playoff birth isn't a guaranteed thing this year.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
15. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Buffalo Bills:</u> 37<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 17<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A big win for the Bills that keeps them tied with the Patriots for first place.<br />
<br />
16. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots:</u> 36<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 22<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Patriots looked like the Patriots we all expected against the Bengals, but is it for real? A big game on the road against the Bills will decide that.<br />
<br />
17. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Pittsburgh Steelers:</u> 26<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 18<br />
<br />
<div>

<b>Notes:</b> The Steelers' win, but their biggest problem is that they play down (or up) to their competition. I can almost guarantee they'll lose to the Browns for this reason.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px;">
<br /></div>
18. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Carolina Panthers:</u> 14<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 23<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Panthers come back big against the Bears and are now in first place in the NFC South.<br />
<br />
19. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Kansas City Chiefs:</u> 13<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 13<br />
<b>Notes:</b> With the way the Chargers and Broncos are playing, it will be very difficult for this Chiefs team to get into the playoffs against this year.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
20. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Cleveland Browns:</u> 8<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 24<br />
<b>Notes:</b> .Don't look now, but the Browns are back at .500. A win at home against the Steelers would be huge.<br />
<br />
21. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Falcons:</u> 3<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 11<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The same old story with the Falcons: great offense, terrible defense. They have the makings of a .500 team.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
22. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Miami Dolphins:</u> -1<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 21<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Dolphins had a losing bye week with wins by the Bills and Pats. Tough games ahead against the Packers and Bears.<br />
<br />
23. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New Orleans Saints:</u> -14<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 26<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Saints (barely) win against Tampa Bay. They are sitting at 2-3, but they (fortunately) play in a division with other mediocre teams.<br />
<br />
24. <b><u>Chicago Bears</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> -20<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 20<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Very tough loss to overcome.<br />
<br />
25. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Minnesota Vikings:</u> -30<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 16<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Vikings need to shake off the beating from the Packers and find a way to beat the Lions.<br />
<br />
<div>
26. <u style="font-weight: bold;">St. Louis Rams:</u> -60<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 25<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A good comeback effort, but the loss drops the Rams to 1-4.<br />
<br />
27, <u style="font-weight: bold;">Washington Redskins:</u> -74<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 27<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Redskins didn't look as terrible as they did against the Giants, but with wins by all 3 NFC East teams, they have a long way to go to catch up with the rest of the division.<br />
<br />
28. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tennessee Titans:</u> -91<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 29<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Panthers had a great comeback against the Bears, but the Browns comeback against the Titans was even better. Unfortunately for the Titans, this drops them at 1-4.<br />
<br />
29. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tampa Bay Buccaneers:</u> -93<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 30<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They couldn't hold on against the Saints and are now last in the NFC South.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
30. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Jets:</u> -98<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 28<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Jets look downright terrible. The QB situation is a mess. At 1-4, things don't get easier with games against the Broncos and Pats.<br />
<br />
31. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Oakland Raiders:</u> -112<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 31<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A tough game after the bye week against the red hot Chargers.<br />
<b><br /></b>32. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Jacksonville Jaguars:</u> -177<br />
<b>Last Week:</b> 32<br />
<b>Notes:</b> .The Jaguars have a big opportunity for their first win with a game against the TitansDavehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06741032462398504167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730719338938995526.post-34719805909547160522014-09-30T05:17:00.001-07:002014-09-30T05:17:16.782-07:00NFL Power Rankings - Week 5The below power rankings are based on a formula that includes record, strength of schedule, net points, home & away records and other factors instead of doing an opinion based power ranking. Below are the rankings heading into week 5.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. <b><u>Cincinnati Bengals</u>:</b> 107<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Normally a match-up against New England would be considered one of the hardest games on a schedule, but the Bengals are the clear favorite here.<br />
<b><br /></b>
2. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Baltimore Ravens:</u> 98<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Ravens look much improved over their mediocre performance from last year.<br />
<b><br /></b>
3. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Diego Chargers:</u> 84<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Philip Rivers has been dominant. Could the Chargers actually win the AFC West?<br />
<b><br /></b>
4. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Arizona Cardinals:</u> 81<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Who would have thought that the Cardinals would be leading the NFC West at this point of the season? It's early, but still a surprise.<br />
<b><br /></b>
5. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Dallas Cowboys:</u> 74<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Another surprise team. The Cowboys were expected to be one of the worst this year, but have started off at 3-1.<br />
<b><br /></b>
6. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Detroit Lions:</u> 68<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Lions are the team to beat in the NFC North right now.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
7. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Houston Texans:</u> 55<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Texans avoided the trend of last year, starting off 2-0 and then going 0-14, with a win against the Bills.<br />
<b><br /></b>
8. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Philadelphia Eagles:</u> 53<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Eagles lost a tough one against the 49ers. After the Rams, they have an important divisional game against the Giants.<br />
<b><br /></b>
9. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Seattle Seahawks:</u> 42<br />
<b>Notes:</b> No surprise they've been dominant at home. The away loss against the Chargers is a little concerning. They should turn it around though against the Redskins.<br />
<b><br /></b>
10. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Indianapolis Colts:</u> 41<br />
<b>Notes:</b> After 0-2, the Colts win big their next two games (although against mediocre teams).<br />
<b><br /></b>
11. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Atlanta Falcons:</u> 38<br />
<b>Notes:</b> In a surprisingly sub-par NFC South, the Falcons look like the best team.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
12. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Denver Broncos:</u> 33<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Broncos have an exciting match-up against the undefeated Cardinals. Will the Broncos bring them "back to reality?"<br />
<b><br /></b>
13. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Kansas City Chiefs:</u> 33<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Chiefs absolutely destroyed the Patriots and showed that they're still contenders.<br />
<b><br /></b>
14. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Giants:</u> 32<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Giants looked good their last 2 games. They have a tough schedule ahead which will decide their playoff fate.<br />
<b><br /></b>
15. <u style="font-weight: bold;">San Francisco 49ers:</u> 19<br />
<b>Notes:</b> I know the 49ers started off mediocre last year, but this 49ers team doesn't look as good as last year's team. The win against the Eagles might bring this team back on track though.<br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
16. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Minnesota Vikings:</u> 17<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A much improved Vikings team this year.<br />
<b><br /></b>
17. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Buffalo Bills:</u> 14<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Bills are going with Orton. Smart decision.<br />
<b><br /></b>
18. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Pittsburgh Steelers:</u> 8<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A heartbreaking loss against the Bucs. In what's expected to be a tight AFC North race, this could be the deciding game.<br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
19. <b><u>Green Bay Packers</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 6<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Aaron Rodgers told everyone to relax and he proved himself to be right. Complete inhalation against the Bears.<br />
<b><br /></b>
20. <b><u>Chicago Bears</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">:</u> 2<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A tough loss against the Packers. Tough games ahead on the road against the Panthers and Falcons.<br />
<b><br /></b>
21. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Miami Dolphins:</u> -1<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Dolphins looked like they had something to prove with that win against the Raiders.<br />
<b><br /></b>
22. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots:</u> -10<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Patriots look mediocre at best. This might be the first year we seem struggle to win the division, if they win it at all.<br />
<br />
23. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Carolina Panthers:</u> -13<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Panthers are really struggling against AFC North opponents.<br />
<br />
24. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Cleveland Browns:</u> - 13<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Browns have a winnable game against the Titans in hopes to get back to .500.<br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
25. <u style="font-weight: bold;">St. Louis Rams:</u> -39<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Rams look on pace to be in last place again this year.<br />
<b><br /></b>
26. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New Orleans Saints:</u> -40<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Saints are in trouble already only 4 games in. They need to be Tampa Bay next week.<br />
<b><br /></b>
27, <u style="font-weight: bold;">Washington Redskins:</u> -49<br />
<b>Notes:</b> After a couple of great games, Cousins looked terrible.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
28. <u style="font-weight: bold;">New York Jets:</u> -52<br />
<b>Notes:</b> They showed signs of a potential comeback, but the Jets couldn't get it done. Smith isn't close to being a top tier quarterback, but he is showing some signs of improvement. Can't fault him for frequent dropped passes by Ivory and other teammates.<br />
<br />
29. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tennessee Titans:</u> -65<br />
<b>Notes:</b> A bad loss against the Colts that shows why they aren't in the same class.<br />
<br />
30. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Tampa Bay Buccaneers:</u> -72<br />
<b>Notes:</b> What a win against the Steelers. Might be the highlight of their year.<br />
<br />
31. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Oakland Raiders:</u> -112<br />
<b>Notes:</b> Would be the worst team in the league if it wasn't for how bad the Jaguars are playing.<br />
<b><br /></b>
32. <u style="font-weight: bold;">Jacksonville Jaguars:</u> -154<br />
<b>Notes:</b> The Jaguars look like the same Jaguars of last year, but not sure I can picture this team winning 4 games.Davehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06741032462398504167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730719338938995526.post-37311145040320555672014-08-12T05:27:00.000-07:002014-08-12T05:27:10.860-07:00NFL Standings Prediction - 2014 SeasonIt's the happiest time of the year as NFL season is about to begin!

It's always tough to predict who Chef Ramsey will go with, but here are the current Power Rankings of chefs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>10. </b>Gabriel - I don't think he'll be the next one out, but he is the weakest chef left. Chef Ramsey likes Chefs who show improvement, which is why Gabriel is still around, but I think he's the weakest in the bunch.<br />
<br />
<b>9. </b>Rich - Hard to put Rich above the bottom 2 considering he was very close to being eliminated last episode. He might make it the next couple of rounds, but he won't be the winning chef.<br />
<br />
<b>8. </b>Scott - I can't stand Scott. I think he's extremely cocky, but doesn't have the skills to back it up. Chefs like Anton are also very cocky, but at least they're talented. Scott, as Gabriel mentioned, just does a lot of talking and doesn't really have a lot of talent. He'll be gone soon.<br />
<br />
<b>7. </b>Sandra - The weakest of the, very strong, girls team. She's kind of middle of the road, but once they weed out a couple of more chefs, she'll find herself struggling to compete. <br />
<br />
<b>6. </b>Keisha - Has some cooking talent, but is inconsistent. Also, can you imagine her leading a brigade? You can't understand a word she's saying. <br />
<br />
<b>5.</b> Jason - Talented chef, but has screwed up a couple of times and has a very short temper. I think the latter will get him eliminated before the top 3 or 4 (even possibly before the "black jackets" get handed out).<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b> Rochelle - She's been flying under the radar, but I think she's impressed Chef Ramsey. She keeps cool in the kitchen, can cook, and has shown signs of leadership. Once she gets thrown in "full force", it will be interesting how well she does.<br />
<br />
<b>3.</b> Melanie - Melanie has been very strong throughout the competition on both the cooking and leadership side. However, there's something lacking that makes her just under the top 2 chefs.<br />
<br />
<b>2. </b>Joy - I actually think she'll win it all. First couple of services she looked like one of the weaker chefs, but has really stepped up. She's a good leader (although has had a couple of shows where she's lost her temper) and can cook. <br />
<br />
<b>1. </b>Anton - Definitely the strongest out of the chefs. Every season though, Chef seems to go for another chef who isn't the obvious choice, which doesn't bode well for Anton if he repeats this pattern. The last episode was the first one that made me have some slight doubts about Anton (how he made things confusing in the kitchen). Regardless, 99% of the time he puts out good food and can delegate in the kitchen.<br />

<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4615803614372731770" itemprop="articleBody" style="position: relative; width: 300px;">
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> As with last year, Denver heads into the postseason ranked #1 in the Power Rankings (and tied with the best record in the NFL). Anything but a Super Bowl win would be a disappointment for this team.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>2. <u>Seattle Seahawks:</u></b> 394</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> The Seahawks secured the #1 seed and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. While the Cardinals proved that the Seahawks can be beaten at home, most of the NFC will still have a VERY hard time playing the Seahawks on the road.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>3.</b> <b> </b><u style="font-weight: bold;">San Francisco 49ers</u> 308<br /><b>Notes: </b>The 49ers end the season on a 6 game winning streak and secure the #5 seed. They end the season with the best active winning streak in the NFL.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>4. <u>Carolina Panthers: </u></b>306</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes: </b>The Panthers get the #2 seed in the NFC and look like one of the most dangerous teams in the playoffs.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>5. </b><u style="font-weight: bold;">New England Patriots:</u> 280<br /><b>Notes:</b> While this Pats team certainly has issues, you can't get much better than having Brady steering the ship.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>6. <u>Cincinnati Bengals:</u></b> 265<br />
</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> The Bengals win over the Ravens puts them at #3 over the Colts. A game against the red hot Chargers will be difficult.</span><br />
<br />

</span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> The Saints went from looking like a lock for the #2 seed a couple of weeks ago to barely getting in as the #6 seed. While the Saints have issues on the road, the Eagles were only 4-4 at home.</span><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b> </b> </span><br />

Andy Reid has to be amped up about being back in the playoffs after ending the season 4-12 with the Eagles the year prior.</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>9.</b> <u style="font-weight: bold;">Indianapolis Colts:</u>192</span></div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> The Colts can certainly "turn it on" when they'd like (as they've shown in games against the Seahawks and 49eres), but not overly confident that they'll go far in the playoffs.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes</b>: The only top 10 team not in the playoffs. The Cardinals looked great this year and, despite going 10-6, didn't make the playoffs unfortunately. You have to be excited about this team next year though.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> Chip and company lead the Eagles to the playoffs after going 4-12 the year prior. A game against the Saints should be a good one.</span><br />

Changes needed to be made with this team or they'll continue with their average performance. </span><br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> Despite this team's mid-season turnaround, they lose 2 divisional games that they should have won to close out the season and miss out on the playoffs.</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>16. <u>Green Bay Packers:</u></b> 28<br />
</span></div>
<b>Notes:</b> The weakest of the playoff teams (both in terms of record and overall depth). Packers fans have to feel good about Rodgers' return, but hard to imagine that this team will go far in the playoffs.<br />
<br />
<div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b>Notes:</b> After looking like the favorite int he North, the Lions collapse towards the end of the season and miss out on the playoffs. Schwartz getting fired is a step in the right direction for this team. </span><br />
