Week 17 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Playoff Picture Furious Seven Week 17

Two divisions that aren’t sending teams in to my illustrious Furious Seven – the NFC and AFC West. How brutal are these divisions? I was talking to Chip, who you can chirp with at Account Management by asking for ext. 2327, and we were pondering how good the NFC West could possibly be? If the Seahawks’ wide receiver unit hadn’t been gunned down in malice by the injury bug, and the Niners hadn’t listened to Mike Martz and played Shaun Hill from the get go, would this division be slightly more competitive?

Week 16 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Furious Seven Week 16

For the first time all season, there is a new team in the top-2. That’s right, a team known for grit, tenacity and guts has climbed to the top as our season-favorite Titans and Giants hit massive stumbling blocks. The race for the Wildcard has never been more exciting, with sixteen teams grinding out for a shot at the Superbowl in Tampa Bay, Week 16 and 17 have all the relevance that you’ve been waiting for.

Week 15 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Furious Seven – Week 15

How exactly do you grade a loss to a turnaround team? That’s exactly the situation we’re facing when trying to figure out if the Giants were exposed by the Eagles, or if it was just one of “those” games for Eli Manning. The Titans take over the top spot again since they have the better record, but the rest of the rankings are as muddled as my drunk grandmother trying to clip coupons using a butter knife.

Week 14 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Furious Seven – The Football Giants Reign Supreme

Why is everyone on this Carolina Panthers bandwagon? Did people just skip watching the NFC South because they’ve been so historically morbid? Well to refresh your stinking memory, the NFC South is poised to send three teams in to the playoffs if Carolina can get its crap together and Atlanta continues on this miraculous run.

Week 8 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Furious Seven – Titans Reigning Supreme, Dallas Falls

Every time I sit down to write this article on Tuesday morning, I go verifiably insane. Nothing proved my case more than when Denver tripped over its own futility in Foxboro and got hammered by a surly New England Patriots team. While the Patriots emerge as a potential contender, there are at least seven teams that are in much better standing.

Week 7 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Top Ten Power Rankings after week 6

10/14/08

Well my last power rankings that were realeased two weeks ago have completely changed. Several teams have come up the ranks and several fell like a rock off the top 10. Remember that Craig ranks the whole NFL but has only released his top 10, he can’t give out all his secrets.

Week 6 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Betting Week 6 – Thanks For Nothing, McNabb

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.

Ok, so I got caught up in the windmill of Philadelphia fandom for a second. I’m back to my senses now and a second half collapse by the Eagles certainly helped expedite that process. Dallas is still the obvious favorite, but what about the Giants, who shellacked the Seahawks 44-6? We know who the worst are (I’m looking right at you Cincinnati and Houston), but who’s the best?

Week 3 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Furious Seven – Cowboys Maintain Top Spot, Patriots Climbing Ranks 

The Week 3 Rankings Are In!

Week 2 is in the bag, degenerates! Now comes the fun part. The Packers and Cowboys proved once again that they are the cream of the crop in the NFC, while the AFC continues to be a jumbled mess of corpses and tomfoolery. While the Raiders won’t make any noise in the standings, RUN-DMC showed up with a huge effort that proved to be the best rushing effort of the day.

Week 2 NFL Power Rankings

NFL Furious Seven – The Week 2 Rankings Are In!

Dirty play? Awesome play? Either way you color, Tom Brady’s unfortunate injury is the single play that will go down as the defining moment of the NFL betting season. It certainly shakes up the standing, regardless of a 17-10 point wing by the Patriots over the Chiefs.
