Each week during the heart of the NFL season, and once or twice during the NFL Preseason, we’ll gather the troops around the roundtable and hash out the NFL Power rankings. We check out the stats, looks at the records, and, most importantly, we take a close, close look at the heart of each team. We encourage you to come back each week and see how the NFL Power Rankings have changed.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – New England Patriots Odds To Win AFC East – 450
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 11.5
The Patriots have been so good for so long that it’s hard to believe that it’s been four years since their last Super Bowl victory.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Pittsburgh Steelers Odds To Win AFC North -250
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 9
First, first, first.
The Steelers defense was first in just every offensive category last season, the most important of which was points allowed (13.9).
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – NY Giants Odds To Win NFC East – +165
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 10
The Giants have so much talent, especially on the offensive and defensive lines, that it’s difficult to create any scenario that doesn’t have them at least playing for the NFC Championship.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Indianapolis Colts Odds To Win AFC South – +150
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 10
They couldn’t stop the run, couldn’t run the ball themselves and their special-teams play caused small children to run into the street screaming.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – San Diego Chargers Odds To Win AFC West -300
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 9
For a team that has a ton of talent and plays in a division so weak that the other three teams could pool their resources and still not win the AFC West, what do the Chargers have to bitch about?
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Philadelphia Eagles Odds To Win NFC East – +210
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 9.5
The Eagles seem to have an answer for everything. They rebound from controversy, they win enough to placate their restive fan base and their coach persists through nightmarish personal problems.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Baltimore Ravens Odds To Win AFC North – +300
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 9
The Ravens don’t do things quite like most other teams.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Tennessee Titans Odds To Win AFC South – +250
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 9
The death of Steve McNair has sucked most of the oxygen out of the air in the Volunteer State, which is still reeling from last season’s playoff loss to Baltimore.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Atlanta Falcons Odds To Win NFC South – +220
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 8.5
Was last season serendipity? Or are these guys for real?
There is certainly star power in Atlanta. The Falcons can brag about the best running game in the league (Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood), a serious star-in-making in QB Matt Ryan, and a TE Hall of Famer-to-be (Tony Gonzalez).
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Dallas Cowboys Odds To Win NFC East – +250
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 8.5
All you need to know about the Dallas Cowboys is that Jerry Jones had yet to have his first facelift way back in 1996 when the team last had a winning December record.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Arizona Cardinals Odds To Win NFC West – +140
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 8.5
Yes, it’s possible to win the lottery twice, but what are the odds? Every sportsbook in the world figures the Cardinals to return to earth this season. Seven teams are given a better shot than Arizona’s 12-1 to win the NFC, and you can get 30-1 on Zona to win the Super Bowl.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Carolina Panthers Odds To Win NFC South – +230
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 8.5
No one wants to be judged on their worst day, and the afternoon of Jan. 10, 2009 wasn’t John Fox’s best three hours on the planet. Fox’s Panthers were outplayed and outcoached by the inferior Cardinals and lost by 20 points at home in the NFC playoffs.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Houston Texans Odds To Win AFC South – +325
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 8.5
Fish-or-cut-bait time has arrived in southeast Texas, where for seven years the Texans have toiled in relative obscurity and less than a year ago fans’ hopes were shattered by an 0-4 start.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Green Bay Packers Odds To Win NFC North – +200
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 8.5
Like slow-setting cement, things are starting to come together bit by bit in Green Bay.
Let’s take a look at the numbers:
betED NFL Football Betting Odds – Chicago Bears Odds To Win NFC North – +180
Season Over/Under Win Total Betting Odds From beted.com – 8.5
Say hello to the new face of the franchise – a petulant man-child who stomps his feet when he doesn’t get what he wants, then denies doing it.
