2014 Power Rankings: Week 4

The beginning of the season is always volatile on my chart. Lots of teams moving 5 or more spots. It seems like the only teams that are stable are the ones that didnt play this week and the ones who continue to refuse to win. The biggest headlines this week are clearly that the Steelers lose to the Bucs and the Chiefs destroy the Patriots.

2014 Power Rankings: Week 3

As you all know (by all I of course mean the exactly 0 people who read this) I have a very special formula that I use to help me determine who is having the best season in the NFL. A team gets a point for every win, loses a point for every loss. Additionally, they get a point for every win that a team they defeat has and lose a point for every loss that a team they lose to has. For example, the Lions now have 2 wins and 1 loss. They defeated the Giants who have 1 win, lost to the Panthers who have 1 loss, and defeated the Packers who have 1 win. 2-1+1-1+1=2.

Based on this I have devised my own power rankings. ESPN and the NFL and Im sure many other groups have their own systems for this. Here is how mine look.

1. Bengals (3-0)
2. Cardinals (3-0)
3. Eagles (3-0)
4. Chargers (2-1)
5. Ravens (2-1)
6. Seahawks (2-1)
7. Steelers (2-1)
8. Bills (2-1)
9. Panthers (2-1)
10. Broncos (2-1)
11. Lions (2-1)
12. Bears (2-1)
13. Falcons (2-1)
14. Cowboys (2-1)
15. Patriots (2-1)
16. 49ers (1-2)
17. Texans (2-1)
18. Giants (1-2)
19. Titans (1-2)
20. Redskins (1-2)
21. Colts (1-2)
22. Packers (1-2)
23. Dolphins (1-2)
24. Browns (1-2)
25. Saints (1-2)
26. Chiefs (1-2)
27. Vikings (1-2)
28. Jets (1-2)
29. Rams (1-2)
30. Raiders (0-3)
31. Buccaneers (0-3)
32. Jaguars (0-3)

NFL Early Season Picks 2014

Here they are.

AFC
East: Patriots (2-1)
Boring!
North: Bengals (3-0)
Three good wins to start the season. Lets see where this goes.
South: Texans (2-1)
This division, I tell ya. It will surprise me if any of them do better than 10-6
West: Broncos (2-1)
I cant pick against Peyton, not this early in the season.
Wildcard: Chargers (2-1), Bills (2-1)
While I know that the Bills will disappoint me they have put up 2 very good wins.

NFC
East: Eagles (3-0)NFL
It may be bloody getting there but the Eagles are on a roll.
North: Lions (2-1)
Its probably just wishful thinking but when the home team is on top you have to pick them right?
South: Panthers (2-0)
They beat the Lions and Bucks handedly.
West: Cardinals (3-0)
Its really hard to pick a team other than the Seahawks or 49ers. But, I think all 4 of these teams could make the playoffs this year.
Wildcard: Seahawks (2-1), 49ers (1-2)

End of the Season

I just dont even know what to say about what happened last night. So I wont. But, with the 2013 season concluded, the Lions are now tied for 1st in the NFC north!

Super Bowl XLVIII

The playoffs have come to an end and for the first time ever I have successfully picked the teams that came through to battle in the Super Bowl. Way back in October I picked the Broncos and Seahawks to represent their conferences in the biggest game of the year. I also made a prediction that it would be the Broncos standing victorious at games end.

Conference Round 2013

I went 4/4 this week. I dont think there was much surprise though. Which means we have New England going to Denver and San Francisco going to Seattle. This is the first time in a while that I feel that the best 4 teams are fighting for their conference championships. After week 6 I picked the Broncos and the Seahawks to win their AFC and NFC. Im going to stick with my original picks.
